Screen rotation within Game

[priested]

I'm sorry if this has been answered but is there any method of rotating the screen display within the game as Zen currently allows or via config file? I recently purchased an nVidia shield and streaming to that device requires that I have my screen in landscape mode. I play TPA in portrait exclusively and I don't want to manually switch screen layout each time I play.

No way to do it as of yet, still need to rotate your monitor orientation and set resolution in the config screen

Seconding this request. I keep my playfield monitor in landscape mode to play Visual Pinball, and I would prefer not having to manually rotate the orientation every time I play TPA. Zen's implementation of this is exactly what you guys should do (see also, their DMD positioning.)

Or VP could do it so that a portrait desktop also works.

Thanks. OK. Is there some 3rd party app that can rotate the screen and change resolution via hotkey?

Custom DMD positioning... no idea why it hasn't been done yet.

Depends on your graphics card.

Nvidia and ATI both have control utilities that may enable hotkeys for rotation
I believe on a lot of Nvidia cards you can press CTRL+ALT+ARROW KEY to switch orientation (could be shift+alt or shift+ctrl)

Little app called irotate does the trick
