ARpiCADE Forums

Hello,

I had to make a new image and forgot how to rotate for a cocktail arcade. I want the games and run towards player 1 side, can someone post the settings for this set-up?

I got the menu rotating, but when I launch a game it's not oriented correctly and is horizontal.

What should "display_rotate=1" be set to and #monitor_mount=1 be set to?

There are my HDMI settings

# may have unexpected behaviour (see /boot/launchers/resSwitch.sh)
hdmi_group=1
## Use only one mode at a time
# Boot and menus in 480i (rotated games in 480i, non rotated games in 240p/256p/288p)
hdmi_mode=1
# Boot and menus in 240p (all games in 240p/256p/288p)
#hdmi_mode=1
# Boot and menus in 480p (no res switching, just 480p)
#hdmi_mode=1

Thank you for any help want to get this running again : )

Thanks!

If you edit /boot/launchers/servMenu.sh so the hi res options are no longer commented out you can then select vertical high res mode from the service menu and it should be sorted out for you (excepting the cocktail settings and menu theme).

Otherwise to do it manually (assuming you have ARpiCADE 3.82), the default vertical settings in config.txt are:

# Comment/uncommment to flip the image to account for monitor mounting
# this is a 180 degree flip NOT hori/vert mounting
# (see bottom of file for horizontal/vertical mount option)
display_rotate=2

and

# Extra settings for ARpiCADE do not unhash these settings to use them
# Really, DO NOT UNHASH THESE SETTINGS they are not RPi boot settings and need to
# be hashed out exactly as is to work properly.
# to set vertically mounted monitor make this =1 but LEAVE THE LINE HASHED OUT
# just add (or remove) the 1
#monitor_mount=1

display_rotate should only ever be set to 2 or commented out. It is just the screen flip function, any other setting swill cause issues.
#monitor_mount= should only be 1 (for a vert monitor) or blank (for hori) and always commented out

hope that helps
