      You need to give more details about your setup and what exactly have you tried - start with the info asked in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.
      The Pi4 doesn't support the same rotation options as previous models, so editing config.txt will not work.

      I would add that in the /boot/cmdline.txt parameters, I changed the resolution to 768x768 and everything is now centered and looks correct....except, the top few lines of the [TAB] menu in Mame are cut off....

      This is so strange.....

      @dankcushions arrrrgh. Thanks. Definite performance issues when rotating the whole system, and PiFBA is the only core that's giving me issues otherwise. Now I'm off to see if I can compile FBNeo with Cyclone and see how that runs. Thanks for your help!

      @MISTERHOLLYW00D said in Text Rotate:

      Is it possible to rotate retroarch menu? When I bring retroarch up it’s still sideways

      No, that's a RetroArch's limitation - even if it can rotate the emulator video, the menu's orientation can be rotated only when using the desktop display driver and it will not work on RetroPie.

      You're using a PI3, so you can use the rotation offered by the firmware.

      I solved my own problem! I modified the EmulationStation startup script to toggle back and forth between horizontal and vertical mode on a restart. So, now I can rotate my monitor, restart EmulationStation, and my menus match the orientation. Here is the updated file:

      /opt/retropie/supplementary/emulationstation/emulationstation.sh

      #!/bin/sh esdir="$(dirname $0)" while true; do rm -f /tmp/es-restart /tmp/es-sysrestart /tmp/es-shutdown "$esdir/emulationstation" "$@" $rotate ret=$? if [ -f /tmp/es-restart ]; then if [ -z "$rotate" ] then rotate=”--screenrotate 1” else rotate=”” fi continue fi if [ -f /tmp/es-sysrestart ]; then rm -f /tmp/es-sysrestart sudo reboot break fi if [ -f /tmp/es-shutdown ]; then rm -f /tmp/es-shutdown sudo poweroff break fi break done exit $ret

      . I'm using a 64GB image that has version v2.7.3RP

      What do you mean a 64GB image? Retropie isn't available as different images. If you got a third party image from elsewhere, you really should be looking there for support.

      I found one! A friend asked me for a seperare Tate-Card to switch to when using his Tate-Display. Simply use the Arcade-Sytem instead of seperate Mame and FBA-Systems. Enter a game with Mame2003-core, activate rotation and save the system configuration file (not game or core override!). Done. The rotation setting will also apply to all FBA-games.

      @langest said in Possible to rotate screen per rom file?:

      Now I am only wondering, where should I put the rom specific file?

      As the posts above said - and it's also mentioned in the Docs - , next to the ROM file.

      @cybermrc you probably figured this out by now, but the cocktail switch only serves to flip player 2 upside-down. It won't induce the initial rotation.
