Lady Bug Vertical Flip

Hello!

Did anyone notice that vertical flip does not work with Lady Bug? The vertical flip option was implemented

recently into the core but it does not work. I am using a crt arcade monitor.

Was this tested on a vga or lcd monitor or am I missing something here?

Any clues would be aprecciated.

regards,

Vertical Flip works only if Orientation is Horizontal.

I am using HDMI, may be it is the reason. After your first post I tried the flip but nothing happened so I tried the orientation setting while the flip was still on and it flipped. I also tried with Flip off and changing first to horizontal. Next I turned Flip on and it also works. I guess it does not work on CRT.

I enabled vertical flip over HDMI in the latest update because that is a MiSTer framework feature now and so was just a couple of lines of code and a re-compile. Unfortunately vertical flip over VGA is a much harder piece of work as it needs to be worked into the core video circuits, no shortcuts available!

I gave it a try a while back and did not have much success :( I might try again but no promises I'm afraid!

Hi Jimmy!

Yes would be nice if you could give this a second try. Meanwhile I will swap the physical plug for the yoke wires when I want to flip the picture upsidedown which is a matter of seconds but not all monitors have this feature. But playing these old classics over HDMI is a no go for me. Its like driving an oldimer with a flight stick which is not the same.

regards,

So, since it is in the Framework, any chance you might tackle Gorf or a few of the others that many of us consider upside down?

From what I understand, the VGA output of Gorf is quite difficult to flip vertically.
