Ask a question about the Sega Saturn Compatible FPGA Core

Hi, great core i love it. Is there any plans to add an option to rotate the screen? This would be for TATE (vertical) users using CRTs, often in arcade machines where flipping the screen isn't so easy. The PSX core currently has this option.

There are a limited number of games that support TATE on saturn (about 22, listed below): Galactic Attack Up'n Down, Pengo and Head On (Sega Ages: Volume 1) Gun Frontier Gun.Smoke, Mercs and Commando (Capcom Generations IV: Blazing Guns) Kyukyoku Tigers 2 Plus DoDonPachi Batsugun The Game Paradise! Battle Garegga Gunbird Sonic Wings Special Strikers 1945 Shienryu Strikers 1945 II DonPachi Gekirindan CrimeWave (hold L+Y and press Z) 1942, 1943 and 1943 Kai (Capcom Generations I: Wings of Destiny) Kingdom Grandprix Zippy Race (Irem Arcade Classics) Vulgus and Exed Exes (Capcom Generations III: The First Generation) Image Fight Skull Fang

It would be a great feature, but totally understand that it's probably low priority given the smaller userbase running saturn for TATE games :)
