MAMEWAH - rotation?
« on: July 24, 2003, 05:06:32 pm »
Is it possible to rotate the screen with MAMEWAH? I wan't to use it for a cocktail cabinet, but I need the screen vertical! If it is not already in the program, is it possible to do it? I program in VB too and have never heard of a way.

MAMEWAH doesn't have rotation built-in - as you say, it is not something commonly done (I believe DirectX programming is required).

If you have a video card that supports hardware rotation (eg ATI Radeon), or if you have rotation software (eg PivotPro), then you can create a custom Layout which uses a vertical resolution (eg 480x640).  I have heard it works pretty well either way :)

Is there any other software other than PivotPro to rotate the screen? Something cheaper/free, or just any other software that will do that?

if you have a recent ati or nvidia card these have rotation build in with full hardware accelaration...

if not or you have a rotatable monitito there are a few fe's out there that can do that without any software  advancemenu, arcade os, cocktail fe, emulaxian and emutron...i think that's about it...

Don't forget gamelauncher.  

But what's annoying about it is it doesn't rotate the snaps, so you have to user irfanview to batch rotate them all.  

Ironically I can rotate everything in my fe BUT the text.  ;)
