Title: Software to Rotate your Desktop (free)
Post by: stonefry on April 04, 2003, 04:26:26 pm
Well, it is free, but you have to have an Nvidia Gforce based card, and you have to be running XP/2000. Sorry, I didn't want to put all of that in the topic

I just noticed, upon downloading the latest detonator drivers, that there is a monitor rotation program built into it. It's called NVrotate. I haven't tried it with mame, but I think it would probably rotate your already rotated games. Might take some tweaking to get it to work, but I am sure somebody out there will give it a go. I have tried it to just rotate my desktop and it works fine. It says that it is made for those rotating LCD monitors, but I used it on my 19" CRT. No problem.

P.S. Haven't been here in a long time. The new forum looks pretty dang sweet.

This is also an option on ati radeon series cards.

There is a big problem though.... both are only partially hardware accelerated. In other words it's slow.
