      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.

                  @mitu said in Rotate Screen on Pi4:

                  video_allow_rotate=yes

                  Uncommenting this in the config doesn't add the screen rotate option in Retroarch's User Interface or Settings>Video menus on the Pi 4 even when Advanced options are enabled.

                  System Config: Retropie 4.4 with full desktop, RPi 3B, 256gb SD, 5v 2.1A 5,200 mAH USB battery. EasyMSX controller mounted with Pimoroni Hyperpixel 4 (non touch). Also running 4.6 on a 4gb Pi 4 serving as my primary desktop computer now.

                    @victimrlsh I don't think the configuration option in the GUI is dependent of the video_allow_rotate being present or not. If I enable the Advanced options for RGUI, the Video Rotation option is in Settings -> Video -> Output. I'm not sure what version of RetroArch you're using, the location might be different on your system, but check in the same menu location and see if you find it.

                      @mitu I'll try using RGUI, that might help too.

                        @mitu Found it, and it works. Now I just have to locate the option to save this config for each individual game instead of every game...
