General / Re: Attract-Mode retaining focus on launch of emulator

I get the same issue with OSX ... it would be nice if AM retained focus until after the emu had launched, but for me... I have an MAME machine built out of a beer keg, so how fussy can I be? lol

Impossible to fix or work-around under OSX. It's a limitation (or feature according to Apple) of the operating system.

No hot corners set.  I have changed the desktop to black and only see the menu bar and dock pop up for a second, so no big deal.

Physically rotating the screen 90(270)
Setting the rotation in OSX so that the OS now appears correctly on the physically rotated screen. (so no rubber necking required)

The mac runs all apps perfectly normal at this point... except for AM

I will search for those options you mentioned thanks.

My virtual pinball cab on the other hand would drive me insane if PinballX showed the Win10 desktop before each table.... but that's my pride and joy and no beer kegs were involved with that build.

General / Rotate screen with OSX problem

« on: January 27, 2016, 07:53:52 PM »

Hi,

First post here, please forgive me if this has been answered before. (I did search but came up empty)

I have AM working well with SDLMAME running under El Capitan, feeding a vertically orientated screen.

To suit the "physically" rotated screen, I am rotating AM from within itself and each game is rotated from within SDLMAME.

As I said this works fine, however if I drop back to work on OSX or other apps, they naturally present sideways to me.

My thought was to simply rotate the screen output in OSX so that everything can run as normal without the need for "in-app-rotation".  This works for all other apps, but sadly AM has a spack-attack with this and presents a broken zig-saggy type image on screen.

Is there a setting that I haven't found within AM, that would allow it to get on with a screen that has already been rotated from within OSX itself?

Cheers

Rusty
