Screen Orientation Errors #17

Closed NFGman closed 1 year ago

NFGman commented 1 year ago

A whole pile of the games are incorrectly categorized WRT vert CW or CCW orientation.

I've gone through every title, and if it was marked CW or CCW, and couldn't be changed to match that orientation, I've indicated it below. The CW list was more accurate than the CCW list, which was full of errors.

As requested, titles are marked by their ROM names.

Games that should not be in CW:

1943 afighter mrjong legiono crazyblk freeze jack mplanets qbert sonicbom timescan zzyzzyxx

Some of the above games appear to have rotation options but they don't work.

Games that should not be in CCW:

combh perfrman tigerh

A huge number of games not listed in CW can be. All of the following games, listed only in CCW, have CW rotation options and so fit both categories:

galivan airduel alcon arkanoid2 centiped cosmica devzone extrmatn imgfight magspot Mikie nomnlnd roadf slapfigh panic truxton2 dangar wndrplnt

There are probagly a ton of games that are only in CW, but work both ways, but I haven't gone through the lists that way yet.

Hi, According to MAME

- mrjong 
- crazyblk
- freeze
- jack
- Zzyzzyxx

should be CW. If it is not CW in the core then it is a core bug

- combh
- perfrman
- Tigerh

They were all correct already. If they are not ccw in the core then it is a core bug

We go by the MAME documentation when it comes to rotation. If a core has a way to rotate cw or ccw then we document whatever is default and we fill in the flip column and add yes if it can be flipped.

I have updated the CSV now and a new release is scheduled for this Friday

Thanks for going through the games :)
