      Is there a way either through retroarch settings or MAME to flip an arcade game 90 degrees to play vertical monitor games? I'd like it something I can quickly turn on and off and not a scripted setting, as turning my pi build on its side is easy, but the 60' TV no so much. :P

      System Config: Retropie 4.4 with full desktop, RPi 3B, 256gb SD, 5v 2.1A 5,200 mAH USB battery. EasyMSX controller mounted with Pimoroni Hyperpixel 4 (non touch). Also running 4.6 on a 4gb Pi 4 serving as my primary desktop computer now.

        @victimrlsh There is the option "Rotation" in the "Settings" > "Video" menu of RetroArch, but I don't know you can map a key or button to it.

        edit: Normally, RetroArch cores should rotate vertical games automatically. If they don't do that in your setup, you may want to check the option "Settings" > "Core" > "Allow Rotation".

          Vertical games ARE rotated automatically, but there are times when I don't want them to be so I can turn my pi case on its side and get a much larger vertical image.

              @dankcushions Ah, that does what I'm looking for, I'll just have to find a way to make it a bit more convenient to use. Thanks! Now I can play Galaxy Wars in its true glory. :)
