I have a widescreen monitor and I'm trying to set mame up to run vertical games stretched to fill up the screen, and horizontal games to run outstretched (with the black sidebars). I have mame.ini with keepaspect 1 which stretches, and horizont.ini with keep aspect 0. Horizontal games are still stretching. It's like the horizont.ini doesn't kick in. Any ideas what I'm missing?

Are you sure you haven't got vertical and horizontal mixed up? Vertical games are games with a display taller than it is wide, like Pac-Man. Horizontal games are oriented like a regular television. Stretching vertical games to fill the entire screen doesn't make any sense, unless you want Pac-Man to look like this:

Stretching horizontal games to fill an entire widescreen makes little sense either. Unless you really love the idea of 300 pound Chun Li

Sorry, I don't know what I was thinking. BUT, I still can't get it to work. I set mame.ini to keepaspect to 0 (because I want horizontal games stretched, I know some folks don't like it but I don't mind the look).
I set vertical.ini to keepaspect 1. Everything still gets stretched, so it's like vertical.ini isn't kicking in. Did I miss a step?

Rotate your WS display vertical then utilize the rotate option in video settings once you have launched the game.

It seems to have something to do with how I compiled it. I tried the two ini's just running in a clean downloaded version and it worked.
But for some reason when I followed Mr. Do's guide and recompiled with the hi score and nag modifications, it won't work. I even tried moving over the working ini files, and it still did the same thing.
Any suggestions?
