These are some of the reasons I switched from my orignal plan for a dos setup. If you have these problems in win, it's simple enough to edit the config's manuallly in explorer. Also advance mame and aos/advancemenu are becoming more and more limited. They're still top notch fe's, but developments have slowed to where they aren't advisable in a cab that's going to be upgraded often.
: AOS IS the BEST for DOS & rotate V & H games!
: Work fine with MAME but the best is rotate REALLY the monitor for the V games(R)...more with ADVMAME because YOU can resize the V games , and play with any rotation!!!...BUT...
: Yes..BUT..Now is a BIG SHIT!!!
: I don't understand WHY now (b57) Advmame have a new set of commands , a new config.file (advmame.rc)..was relly good togeter with AOS , and now NOT MORE!!!
: AOS NOT read any of the NEW commands od ADVMAME57
: so...
: 1) you can't config any game
: 2) Only H games ...R he say " -ror !?!?! what is??"
: 3) the way is to insert a command : display_ror yes OK but not in AOS !!!
: 4) ADVANCE MENU is ORRIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!
: Ofcourse if You take the DOS MAME b57 ..AOS work normal!!
: My hopes...ADVANCEMAME get back the OLD systems command!!!! fuck advmame.rc!!!!
: Or AOS take a new release compatible with the new command set...
: : I'd quite like a front end that rotates for selecting vertical games. ArcadeOS was fine for DOS Mame, but I want to use the new builds of Mame for windows (0.57 currently installed) and ArcadeOS doesn't switch back to the front end properly after exiting from a game - no good for a keyboard-less cabinet.
: : Most of the (pretty cool looking)front ends that are around or in development don't rotate in the way ArcadeOS can. I know this may be a problem with Windows, however MAME manages it so surely it can be done?
: : I don't have the room (in the UK) for two cabs (and can't afford a divorce). I don't want to be forced into only playing in one orientation as I went through a lot of trouble to make the screen rotatable.
: : Thanks
