      @j_infamous Could be that RGUI (the menu driver) doesn't understand rotation. Try using xmb instead rgui (can be toggled from the Configuration Editor).

        I tried those and they didnt work. I also did null and of course it meant what it said and now I dont have a retro arch menu.

            It must be a limitation of RetroArch's menu drivers.

              No one else has complained about it? Seems weird. Maybe they havent gone to the main menu from retroarch.

                I guess is not a common configuration and using the RetroArch menu is not something you do each time you run a game, so maybe it's not a game breaker.

                  Apparently it's a known problem. No solution so far.

                  Rotate Menu for Vertical Arcade Screens #537

                  Menu ignores video_rotation configuration #6770

                      Does the screen rotate for text in cmdline work on the pi3? If u don’t want to use display rotate and do it like the pi 4
                      Would command be the same with hdmi-a-1?

                        I have a pie4 and I love the way they have the new format setup for it except for 1 thing, no rotate screen fix for emulationstation. It really kills it for me, since I only have a vertical screen. So I am forced to run my rpie4 as a rpie3 to rotate the screen, and rpie3 is not as friendly to me. I have tried everything to rotate the screen as well to no avail. (Unless it has been fixed since the last post on here that I don't know about). Is there anyway the dev's can address this or why did they give up on it?

                          @Gryphon No sure what you're talking about - you can rotate the EmulationStation, as stated in the 2nd post of this topic.
