CRT monitors are usually 4:3, and as far as I know, MAME needs to rotate the game screen as well so game doesn't appear sideways... or am I wrong ?.
There are vertical CRT monitors. In that case, the game can be displayed without rotating.
It's the same for LCD/LED monitors, I think.
...perhaps I didn't understood the purpose of the rotate tag.
Take 1941 for example, it's a vertical game and its resolution is 224x384:
in listxml output you have:
(machine name="1941" sourcefile="cps1.cpp")
(display tag="screen" type="raster" rotate="270" width="384" height="224"...
For frontends, you wouldn't want to see 1941 with resolution 384x224 and rotate 270, right ?
Sure, frontend authors can store the info as is and make the proper adjustments when displaying them in the games list. My frontend doesn't do that. It fixes the resolution string while creating the games list. It's a lot easier to handle.
That's what I wanted to point out when mentioning the resolution tags.
Maybe Lightspeed can handle game resolutions differently.
Emu Loader pure purpose is to play games. The game extra game info and features are a bonus.
