Adding new Horizontal games to Vertical config

Post by Justjoe13 » Sat Sep 21, 2024 3:00 am

Hey guys,
I have searched, and not finding much.. I think the search is a bit lacking, as my search terms are "too general".. Anyhow..

I have an Arpicade in my vertical cabinet, and it is working great.. still fine tuning some games, but want to add some of my favorite Horizontal games to my setup.

As a Test, I added Moon Patrol and Zookeeper to the mame-106 dir, and when it booted up, the games were not showing up in the list.
I checked and noticed those games were "supported" by AdvancedMame, but was not sure if I was adding it properly or maybe put it in the wrong place.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Joe

p.s. I understand the games will have "black bars" (which makes it sound very off putting) but I want it to retain the original aspect ratio.. so I understand a horizontal game will NOT fill up my vertical monitor.. but because I have a LARGE CRT, it should still look nice..

You can rescan your roms from the service menu. Press 'service' or 'f4' in the game select menu to access the service menu.

Thank you so much.

I had looked there before and totally missed it.

One of the biggest pains is getting the correct rom in the correct mame emulator folder.. but worth it in the end.
