retropie arcade rotation (upside down)

retroRyan89

Hello wandering if anyone can point me in the right direction as i have been stuck for a couple of days now, im using a Pie 4 8gb version and running in an arcade1up with a (vertical monitor).

I have fixed the rotation of the / aspect ratio of the cmd and emulation station / most of the consoles by changing the below files -

location - opt/retropie/configs/all/autostart.sh
emulationstation --screenrotate 3 --screensize 960 1280

location - nano /boot/cmdline.txt
video=HDMI-A-1:1280x960M@60,rotate90

//works fine
/retropie/configs/gba/retroarch.cfg
video_allow_rotate = "true"
video_rotation = "1"

//works fine
/retropie/configs/gb/retroarch.cfg
video_allow_rotate = "true"
video_rotation = "1"

//works fine
/retropie/configs/nes/retroarch.cfg
video_allow_rotate = "true"
video_rotation = "1"

for some reason the arcade Roms are displayed upside down and im not sure why, I have tried changing the video_rotation but it doesn't seem to have any effect.

/retropie/configs/arcade/retroarch.cfg
video_allow_rotate = "true"
video_rotation = "1"

Id appreciate any ideas on this one as I'm at a bit of a loss..... here is the tutorial I also followed to do the resto of the conversion.

Good luck.

By the way, your cabinet looks incredible!

What arcade emulator are you using ? video_rotation = "1" should do a 90 only.

Please add the rest of the info about your setup, as requested in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

Hi,
I have the same problem with a "Raspberry Pi® PI400DE Raspberry Pi® 400 - Keyboard DE 4 GB 4 x 1.8 GHz" and a vertical monitor for pinball games
After trying all hints and links the problem is still remaining.
I tried different games and sources ([removed]).
The menu rotates the 90 degrrees, but not the game.
(I do not own a carbinet at the moment. I am just testing aut the monitor and retropie.
If it works I will build up an arcade carbinet for pinball)

Here are the data:
