Summary	05096: Slider Controls menu --> Screen Horiz/Vert issue
Description	using default mame settings: if you have loaded a 'horizontal' game, and you go into the mame Config Menu, and then into the Slider Controls sub-menu, behaviour is as expected if you change any of these settings: - Screen Horiz Position - Screen Horiz Stretch - Screen Vert Position - Screen Vert Stretch however, again using default mame settings, if you load any 'vertical' games, changes to the Horizontal settings in the Slider Controls sub-menu affect the Vertical settings instead (see pic below), and vice versa to fix this issue, mame should first be checking if 'vertical' games are being displayed horizontally or vertically on the screen, before determining which axis should be classed as the horizontal and which as the vertical also, while mame is still running, if the user decides to go into the Video Options sub-menu, and rotate the game on-the-fly (using the 'Rotate' option), mame should 're-set' what it classes as the horizontal/vertical axis again accordingly

No.09166 Tafoid Administrator Dec 27, 2012, 09:42	Technically, there is no issue to fix. Simply put, all monitors are horizontal. If you were to rotate or flip the monitor on it's side, it is not somehow magically a vertical monitor. The pot adjustments and/or on screen display sliders for a monitor do not change function based on any type of detected orientation. The sliders in MAME are no different. Irregardless of what your monitor orientation is, Horizontal and Vertical will always function as designed.
