Getting MAME to display on 2nd (vertical) monitor

I'm trying to get MAME to display vertical games on my non primary monitor, running

flatpak run org.mamedev.mame -v

flatpak run org.mamedev.mame -v

identified it as Display #1

Current Videodriver: wayland
    Display #0
        Desktop Mode:         3840x2160-24@60
        Current Display Mode: 3840x2160-24@60

I added this line to my vertical.ini (in /home/pcarcade/.mame/) :

screen                    \\.\DISPLAY1

screen                    \\.\DISPLAY1

as per instructions here : https://www.reddit.com/r/MAME/comments/fnqpmh/how_to_get_mame_to_run_horizontal_games_on/ But it will not output to the 2nds monitor, has anyone got simillar to work in Bazzite?

I can see it's due to not having a working compiler, but I don't know how to fix it and hoping someone can help me out

As per the title, using the GUI it's not seen at all, if I use

bluetoothctl

bluetoothctl

I can see the controller, but when I

pair <MAC ADDRESS>

pair <MAC ADDRESS>

I get

Device <MAC ADDRESS> not available

Device <MAC ADDRESS> not available

Is there any way to connect the controller wirelessly? I'm on the latest controller firmware and it works when wired

Steam weirdness

I'm new to Bazzite, and am having some weird behavior with steam and my ntfs drive, I've mounted it and can read and write from Dolphin fine, Steam can't write to the drive though, iif I try to install (or move) a game to the drive I get "Disk Write error" I've symlinked the compdata directory on the ntfs drive and that writes SOME files to it, but the game doesn't actually run (despite saying it is running) I can't run a game from the drive, it shows as running, but doesn't actually run, but if I add the same game in the same place as a "non steam game" it works fine! HELP!!! Proton log shows nothing at all and I don't know any other way of seeing what is going on
