Horizontal retropie display. HELP

A Former User

I ran what you told me, but as soon as I started the raspberry I found myself with the screen with all the emulators in small under left, how should I do?

mitu

You may need to adjust the resolution for EmulationStation, by adding the --screensize W H parameter. What's your screen resolution ?

A Former User

@mitu the resolution of my monitor should be 800x480, but since it was vertical I don't know if I have to enter 480x800 or 800x480, and then where should I insert it, near screenrotate in autostart?

mitu

@xTekFede Yes, it should be inserted after the --screenrotate parameter

--screensize 480 800

@mitu said in Horizontal retropie display. HELP:

--screensize 480 800

also in retroarch?

A Former User

@mitu I had to enter --screensize 800 480 and it works, but now I have to do something in retroarch? last thing, if I also wanted to rotate from cmdline.txt as I should do, to start horizontally

A Former User

@xTekFede I have the games that are rotated but they are seen vertically, so I should set the screensize, how should I do it? Then I also have a psp emulator, is it based on retroarch, or do I also have to screensize them in some way?

For the terminal to be rotated, you need add a video parameter to rest of the kernel boot parameters in cmdline.txt. Here's an example, you'll have to replace the video mode parameters with the ones for your display.

video=HDMI-A-1:1920x1080M@60rotate=90

Are you referring to libretro emulators (lr-xyz) or other - standalone - emulators ? If you're using a standalone emulator, then it's up to that particular emulator if it supports rotatatio or not, similar to how EmulationStation works.

Then I also have a psp emulator, is it based on retroarch, or do I also have to screensize them in some way?

For PSP games, you can use ppsspp (standalone) and lr-ppsspp (libretro based) emulators. If you already configured RetroArch for rotate/resolution, you can use lr-ppsspp.

@mitu I started SNES and it started vertically in the center with the horizontal screen and it was also very crushed, then I started ppsspp and it started vertically with vertical screen, do I have to use lr-ppsspp to make it go?

mitu

I started SNES and it started vertically in the center with the horizontal screen and it was also very crushed,

I don't understand what 'vertically' means in this context - does it obey or not the rotation configuration you've set ?

then I started ppsspp and it started vertically with vertical screen, do I have to use lr-ppsspp to make it go?

That's exactly what I said previously.

@mitu If I start any game it looks like this, I attach a photo, this is an example of gta vice city:

Either RetroArch doesn't detect the resolution correctly or there's a scaling issue. Try adding video_fullscreen_x and video_fullscreen_y to your retroarch.cfg and populate it with the correct values for your screen, see if that makes a difference.

@mitu if I put it this way the game does not change from the previous photo:
video_windowed_position_height = "480" video_windowed_position_width = "800" video_windowed_position_x = "800" video_windowed_position_y = "480"
and:
video_windowed_position_height = "800" video_windowed_position_width = "480" video_windowed_position_x = "800" video_windowed_position_y = "480"
if i put it like this when i open the raspberry, i only see retropie and no emulator:
video_windowed_position_height = "480" video_windowed_position_width = "800" video_windowed_position_x = "480" video_windowed_position_y = "800"
and:
video_windowed_position_height = "800" video_windowed_position_width = "480" video_windowed_position_x = "480" video_windowed_position_y = "800"

@xTekFede sorry I hadn't seen you meant fullscreen

A Former User

@mitu if the monitor is 800x480, what should i put in x and what in y?

A Former User

@mitu sorry for all the time I'm stealing you

Well, you only have 2 choices here - have you tried them both ?

A Former User

@mitu I tried 800 in y, and 480 in x, and on the contrary, one makes me lose the emulators and the other does not change the resolution

mitu

@xTekFede In this case, you should look in the Settings -> Video -> Scaling and see if changing the parameters there makes a difference.

A Former User

@mitu Thank you thank you, I was going crazy, in the end I had to put the scaling to 1 and put

aspect_ratio_index = "1"

Thank you very much, From the heart, I LOVE YOU , Thank you very much
Just one thing, I put in the cmdline.txt
video = HDMI-A-1: 480x800M @ 60rotate = 90
with the various settings but it doesn't work
