Hey WOW cocktail owners,
Is there a way to reverse the screen orientation, so that if you are facing the game from the coin door the screen appears right side up instead of upside down?

It just looks backward, and I don't want to turn the game so that the coin door is facing the wall.

Thanks,
Greg
 
When facing the coin door, the screen should be facing you as well. You could open the cabinet & turn the whole monitor.

Nope, mine is backwards. There was one on ebay a while ago that is set up just like mine, so when you are facing the coin door the screen looks "upside down":

If you go an turn the whole monitor, then the player sides (Player 1 and Player 2) would be incorrect!

I've looked all over for a DIP switch setting or something that might swap the monitor orientation but I can't find one.
 
That's the correct orientation for a WOW cocktail. The coin door side is the top of the screen and Player 1 sits to the left when facing the coin door. It's because Player 1 is on the right of the screen for uprights and the cocktail - one of the few games like that. Since it's a horizontal game and both players play at the same time there is no reason to 'flip' the image. The only way to do it is flip the monitor and controls as well.
