Thank you for answer

@AlexSer said in Rotating the screen does not work:

display_rotate=0...

That means no rotation - display will not rotate.

@mitu
Of course, I meant 1,2,3 positions
Has everything remained unchanged?
Because if I use the same commands, the thing doesn't work.

@AlexSer You need to give more details about your system and setup - as detailed in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

Please don't mind, I'm still a beginner to this.
I use model Rpi4, model B, 4GB, micro SD Samsung 64Gb
original Rpi power supply
and "retropie-buster-4.6-rpi4.img"
still without emulators and roms installed
I tried to use command from previous sistems to rotate the screen 90 degrees and test the behavior on a vertically turned monitor 24-27 "

The Pi4 lacks the 90/270 rotation capabilities (see https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/configuration/config-txt/video.md).
There's an alternate configuration possible to rotate the text console (via cmdline.txt, see https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/configuration/cmdline-txt.md) , but I don't think it will automatically apply to EmulationStation and the emulators included.

You can try the alternative (modifying cmdline) and then you can:

rotate EmulationStation by starting it with --screenrotate 1
configure RetroArch to start with a 90 rotation, by adding to its configuration file in \\retropie\configs\all\retroarch.cfg:

video_allow_rotate = true
video_rotation = 1

Thank you!
I will try...
