gigawing Generations teknoparrot screen horizontal instead of vertical

If I remember correctly, Teknoparrot doesn't support rotating screen.  Googled about it in the past and saw a lot of people asking the same question regarding these games. Might have to use some 3rd party app to make it work. 

EDIT: I Just checked my own install of the game. Yes it runs horizontally, but I have adjusted the controls to match that orientation, so I wouldn't say it's "unplayable". It's just not 100% matching how it's meant to be.

Does anyone know how to make gigawing vertical instead of horizontal using teknoparrot?  Makes the game unplayable for me and have seen video of it playing vertical from teknoparrot so I know it's possible.  

With all these 'teknoparrot' games there are often alternatives. With Gigawings.. that is a TaitoTypeX game. If you have the correct set it will auto rotate for you and you can set controls via a pad config app within the directoty. I can't tell you where to grab the game but there is some good info at emuline.org. Also here is the dir structure.... the custom exe "GWG_Launcher.exe" is what launches the game. No teknoparrot needed.

been trying to figure this out. I wanted the game launched thru teknoparrot. I went youtube searching and found a video but they didn't explain anything, just showed it working. After looking and looking I found this forum post

(((Moderator: Deleted link as Emuline site contains roms))).  with these downloads ArcCabView

I used the ArcCabView generic version and followed the readme.

Now GigaWing Generations launches from TeknoParrot UI and launchbox in the correct mode with bezels
