Atari Lynx's Gauntlet Video Orientation and 240p Mode Issue

Hello, when video settings on Lynx are set to Horz and 240 mode on, most games look normal but for some reason, Gauntlet's display is flipped sideways unless you turn off 240p and set the orientation to vert. Changing these setting for Gauntlet makes those other game's displays flip sideways. I don't know what's so different about Gauntlet. Is this some kind of a bug?

It probably has something to do with Gauntlet being a vertically oriented game that was meant to be played while holding the Lynx sideways.

Gauntlet is vertical and 240p mode cannot do vertical.

Normal res is 160x102 pixel, vertical is 102x160 and 240p mode is 320x204 pixel centered in the middle with every pixel doubled

So if you play vertical games, i fear you have to modify the settings or use some mra file for those titles.

Yeah Gauntlet and Klax both have a vertical alignment, you had the hold the Lynx sideways to play them. I'm not sure if there were any other games like that, but those were the two that I owned.
