Best way to do 90degree screen rotate?

[Gadgetguy]

Hello all,

I would like to rotate my screen by 90 degrees.

I used display_rotate=1 and that works but it slows retropie down quite a bit.

Are there alternatives /fixes for this?

This is on a 3b+ with a gen1 iPad screen.

Thank you for any suggestions

@Gadgetguy RetroArch can rotate the screen through its video options. Emulationstation also has a --screenrotate command line option to accompany this. The only downside would be the Runcommand dialogs (and the RetroPie-setup screens) which will use the 'natural' orientation of the screen.

For other emulators - I think advmame has a display_rotate option - similar to RetroArch, don't know specifically for other emulators.

Thank you Mitu. So using --screenrotate would affect both emulation station and all the emulators as well?

I will tweak the system now (audio etc.) while the command line is in the right orientation and then try to remove rotate from configt.txt and use the --screenrotate option instead

No, the --screenrotate is only for Emulationstation, for the emulators you'll have to configure the rotation on each emulator.
