So replacing the board on the monitor isn’t going to magically change the physical orientation. You need to have something that’s going to output the video in a vertical manner, or you’re going to have to physically rotate the screen.

Yes is a pacman 1up they are mounted vertically.
I did not expect changing the board to automatically change the orientation however a bios setting would have helped!
physically rotating it is not a option without rebuilding the entire design.
If I had to do that I might as well build my own cab! ;)

I’ve never see bios setting on any monitor that changes its display orientation. That is always handled by the device outputting the signal.
Like Lew said, just get a cheap multiboard. That’ll do the vertical video for you.

Tell us what your running or maybe take some pics.
TeutonicDarkness:
I have had a few monitors that did!
I may end up having to rotate in Windows if I go that route or get that custom image f rasberri pi that rotates it for you.
I should have waited for a deal on a horizntal Arcade 1up. Just could not pass on a $165. cab that all I had to do was carry home and screw on a new
joystick top and order free replacement cp cover!

Not currently running anything now. I am kinda waiting to see what solutions come up.
So far I have experimented with rasberry pi and Windows. If I could devise a permanent solution would
even consider my modded original xbox or all of them and a way to switch between. ;)

Therein lies the problem - rotating the output will depend on what you are using. As mentioned earlier you can physically rotate the monitor ( would require modding the bezel and the wooden piece behind it so the monitor can be fit in) - or depending on what is outputting the signal can change the output in software but each device will be different in the method of doing so and some like the rpi may experience slowdowns on output causing lag if done through certain methods.
From another forum post :
--- Quote ---The problem with rotating via the RPI firmware is that there is a performance hit, and some games may not run as fast as they would without the option. It's more efficient to rotate via the emulators themselves (eg via retroarch configuration), however, then the Emulation Station launcher won't be rotated.

So how to do it really requires knowing more specifics of how you are going to be running and what hardware you will be using.
