Re: rotation software
Hi brendz,
I had a similar problem with my first MAME cab and is the main reason why I decided to go with AdvMENU as my front end.
It supports native rotation which none of the other FE's do.
Not the simplest option, but certainly the cheapest.

Cheers,
Ralph.

Re: rotation software
thanks for the quick replys.
the ctrl+alt aroow key didnt work
and i was hoping to have windows (not just mame thru a frontend) rotated as its doubling as jukebox.

Re: rotation software
The cost of rotation software will be prohibitive, much better just to buy a cheap second had video card from ebay or the like.
This information is based on my attempts from around 5 years ago, so things may have moved on apace since then.

Re: rotation software
Don't quote me, but I am fairly sure that ATI Catalyst drivers have a rotate feature.
Your easiest option would be to pick up a cheap ATI gfx card.
Check this out too:-
