PC Shmups with screen rotation

[ratsflif]

Hey,

I have my Blast City cab setup vertical and just installed pc versions of a few Shmups: Shikigami I, II, and III also Raiden III. Do you guys know of any other PC shooters that have support for screen rotation?

Thanks,
Mike

Well... MAME has screen rotation

[ratsflif]

I have mame setup on it already. Just looking to add some more games that are either original or games that are not currently emulated.

Well, a game made by someone here, Laseroid, has TATE mode (besides three player mode!). You could also try the PS2 emu to play Espgaluda and DDP-DOJ almost perfectly (if not better, especially DDP-DOJ) but try to make a disc image instead of placing the disc on the DVD drive like I did due to extreme laziness...

Other than that, I cannot remember other schmukmups with screen rotation.

Ive never tried it myself but why dont you try using the graphics card drivers (or possibly a utility) to flip the screen over for those games with no tate option. I dont know if the controls would need flipping instead but i guess u could Xpadder.

Thanks for the replies. I have PCSX2 setup and have both DDP DOJ and Espgaulda setup to launch from the frontend, both games run great. I will check out laseroid. I can rotate the display, no problem but if the game doesnt have tate mode then it will not fill the screen correctly on the vert monitor.

I also want to know that. I've tried with several titles, but have not found one with that function, only in Mame.

i test this games and don't have the function:

Touhou Saga
Dark Patriot
Blue Wish Resurrection
Exceed

In all console Ikaruga and Triggerheart have the option Ikaruga in DC emulator dont work fine but Triggerheart yes

Ikaruga in DC emulator dont work fine but Triggerheart yes

1: what emu are you using? [use NullDC!]
2: Ikaruga has it, just make sure it's not in half-tate mode [controls rotated].

i say that because in the stage 2 i can't see the bullets, I thought the problem was an incompatibility in the emulator (NullDC), could be fix it?

There is a 'rotated' option for screen mode, but it only rotates counter-clockwise, so the display may be upside down if you can only turn your monitor the other way. However, you can use iRotate to flip it 180 degrees.

Or select 'horizontal' for screen mode and adjust the controls accordingly. The score will be at the side instead of the top though.

Hitoga Happa also features tate mode. Nice doujin shmup with great music.

ive yet to play any shmup in Tate mode, I tend to just stick to playing shooters that are ment to be played on a horizontal screen.
I guess to play in tate mode i would have to alter the way i play shmups since in many horis you are always making broad sweeping motions to kill enemies at eather sides of the screen, plus its easier to dodge.

Cos im too lazy to tate i tend to stay away from shooters that were ment to tate since in normal mode the screens can be too small 4 me making the game harder.

I wanna try 1cc gekrindan from the taito legends pack soon so ill guess ill have to sucumb and flip it over

Ikaruga works better with Makaron emulator than NullDC for me (pretty much perfect with Makaron T12).

Only thing is my monitor only turns counterclockwise. Ikaruga however seems to only tate clockwise. Does anyone have any solution for this (besides turning my monitor upside down)?

nvidia have a rotate screen option ... if that'll work in some manner with your setup?

This is what came to mind. Intel InteGRATING Graphics has it as well.
