Override/force screen rotation?

Here's one maybe the PPCGeeks community can help me with. I am using a program called Pocket CDG, a karaoke program for pocket PC. It works well with the Touch Pro, however when you play a song and it goes full-screen, the display is such that with the TV out cables, it displays upside-down on the TV screen.

So, does anyone know of a program or method to force it to rotate in the opposite direction? I tried Gyrator but it seems unable to override the direction in this application (can someone verify?)

A demo can be downloaded here: http://classic.pocketgear.com/softwa...l.asp?id=13612

You will need at least one CDG song to test this, PM me if you can't find one and I can send you one to test.

I have been unable to get gyrator to prevent screen rotation entirely as well

I'd think you could probably use MortScript to handle this.... maybe something like:

Rotate(270)
Runwait("\Program Files\whateverdirectory\programname.exe")
Rotate(0)

This should flip the screen around, call your Pocket CDG program, and then rotate the screen back when you quit the program... you'd need to change the PocketCDG program shortcut to point to this new Mortscript (instead of directly calling the app)... You can find MortScript and more info on it at this link -- http://www.sto-helit.de/index.php?mo...n=view&menu=29 -- in case you don't already have it.

Re: Override/force screen rotation?

Aha, great idea. This'll give me a good reason to experiment with Mortscript. I've been meaning to for a while.

Anyone else?
