Vertical Scrollers with Batocera UI menus

madnutz

Hey guys, first off…. love the project, excellent job,

I’m have trouble with selecting the right combination of options in the UI around screen rotation.

Using an intel NUC on a 32″ HDMI TV tilted at 90degrees (to play MAME vertical shooters, batocera v35)

But when i set the batocera UI to rotate the game 90degrees, the game works fine, but then the UI menus are sideways, so if i set the UI menus to rotate, that works, but then the game is squished into a 4:3 mode in the centre of the screen, or the games orientation is wrong. i cant seem to find the perfect setting.

not sure if this is a bug, or something i’m just overlooking. the 32″ samsung TV i’m using has its aspect ration set to “just scan” in 16:9 and it looks really good playing the vertical shooters, just a pain when going back to the UI and having to tilt my head to read everything :/

Actually i found the solution, I just set the rotation in the UI to 90, and the rotation for MAME to “none” then tweaked the aspect ratio to FULL, works well, slight streching, but setting to “core decided” gives a smaller fit but still playable
