We're working on a vertical/TATE shmup for the Neo Geo. Would adding a rotate screen feature be generally possible on the Analogue Pocket by any chance?

Mazamars312 commented 2 years ago

Should be no issue to build. As this will be done in the Analogue scaller. So advise when once you have a build and I can build a json for this

Mazamars312 commented 1 year ago

This will be added very shortly. I have this working in the current build Im working on at this moment

Awesome, thanks a lot! The game is still in it’s final stages of development but I’ll try it with our latest build and provide feedback as soon as the feature is available.

I just figured that you could simply use this very early demo we published back then. https://trello.com/c/uhXMVXog/10-darksoft-multi-mister-download-attached

It has both, TATE (default on MVS) & YOKO (default on AES) in there, and you can switch it in the title screen by pressing the D button.

You could also add a XML for the game and include that in your build if you wanna, as I've seen other demos/homebrew being added as well in the past to the list.

Some (like me) might even prefer to rotate the controls instead of the screen for the YOKO mode. You would need to hold the Pocket quite weird in your hand to play it in landscape (so that the screen is TATE), but it's actually quite easy and quick to get used to.

Made the JSON and the rotation stuff here on the first video slot.

I made a directory called pneon as well. but if you have another name for it, just change it in the json
