      I built a cocktail table and I'm thinking I'd like to have a module I can put on top using a mirror to redirect the screen image, but of course that means things will be flipped... Is there any way I can mirror the screen image?

        Look in nano /boot/config.txt

        display_rotate=#
        

        where # does the following:
        0 = no rotation
        1 = rotate 90 degrees clockwise
        2 = rotate 180 degrees clockwise
        3 = rotate 270 degrees clockwise
        0x10000 = horizontal flip
        0x20000 = vertical flip
        0x30000 = both horizontal & vertical flip

          Please note that rotating/flipping etc can affect graphics performance.

                Hello everyone! Can you show how your mirroring images looks like on you cocktail table? Can you use it with MAME games at all?
