        @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
          

          I have the games that are rotated but they are seen vertically, so I should set the screensize, how should I do it

          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?

              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"

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

                              @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

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

                                  @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

                                          @mitu If I put the comma remains vertical, but for a second in the initial load it turns and then returns vertically
