I don't think it's an issue of missing orientation flag : it is a ROT270 mame game, which should correspond to the BDF_ORIENTATION_VERTICAL we are using (because we are using BDF_ORIENTATION_VERTICAL | BDF_ORIENTATION_FLIPPED for this driver's guzzler, which is a mame ROT90 game).

It was broken by an attempt to make crazy climber not flip the screen in 2p mode w/coctail (2-joy) mode, I don't blame them (not mentioning names here) for breaking it, because I would have made the same change had they asked me to do it :) Basically now I'm trying to find a way to do it that doesn't break other games, it's tricky because some games soft-flip things, while others don't.

[barbudreadmon]

ok, how about simply using game_select to switch between the 2 codepath ?

[dinkc64]

because even just for cclimber - it's still broken, some things aren't rendering properly (the original fix was bad to begin with.) I'll try to come up with something better.

Mea Culpa

@fastpop72 no problem, shit happens :)

[dinkc64]

fastpop72 I would have done the exact same thing and the timeline would have not been much different, so don't feel bad :)

I might be able to fix this one still, going to give it another shot tomorrow!

[dinkc64]

the video section on this hw will need nearly a complete rewrite. I can't say this will happen soon, but it will happen some day :)

[barbudreadmon]

@dinkc64 the original issue being fixed, should we close or do you want to keep this issue open as a reminder that this hw needs a complete rewrite ?

[dinkc64]

leave open, because my memory is bad :)

[dinkc64]

@barbudreadmon hey buddy, care to meet up? I need a hand with something :)

[barbudreadmon]

@dinkc64 sure, i'll come later (i think around 2-3 hours from now)

[dinkc64]

I have to leave now, but, how about tomorrow?

[dinkc64]

@barbudreadmon, I'm back online, think I missed you by a few minutes or something.
