ARpiCADE Forums

Hi All,

After about 4 hrs of trying to work out Attractmode I have it now displaying Vertical on my cabinet

However I cant for the life of me work out where to change the game as it is squished as per attached.
Its probably something simple, so aplogies if its a dumb-ass question, but my brain is fried from just the Attractmode palava...

Cheers

Which version of ARpiCADE are you using and which vertical mode did you select from the service menu to rotate it? I'll have to check it out.

Rotation is theme dependent in Attract-Mode but everything else should have been automatic when choosing a vertical mode.

Sorry I thought I had typed this as I had two attempts to write it, helps to proofread before posting..

Low Res Vertical in the settings.

I'm actually in the middle of another install on a smaller SD Card. I will report back with what changes I made as I did fiddle with a lot of settings on the previous.

Does changing the conf.txt to #monitor_mount=1 rotate the screen 180deg as one stage it was flipped to P2 position.

Cheers

no, the monitor mount setting is for horizontal/vertical, if you use the service menu for setup you shouldn't need to worry about this setting. The 180 degree flip setting is near the top, #display_rotate=2 just hash/unhash (depending on the current setting) this line to flip it.

Which emulator do you have 1943 in? I'll check it out. As a quick fix 1943 should be fine in either AdvMAME or MAME172, if that's not already the emulator you're trying I'd recommend them.

I used the new install and went through it again changing a few less settings, the games are all displaying correctly now. The Organic Interface was mostly the issue, and conflicting settings.

Is the Setting menu supposed to rotate to vertical as well? Load\Splash Screen & AttactMode are Vertical but ArPiCade settings screen is Horizontal.

Cheers

The service menu is a second instance of Attract-Mode, it can be rotated but you have to change the theme. I should automate that for the service menu as it's not as much down to personal taste as the game menu.
