Substring:
yes sir! Just install, then once installed, in the text menu : setup > video > Monitor rotation
This part will get some slight improvements very soon
Sonny_Jim_Pin:
Awesome. Just fired it up on a $50 PC from Marketplace and after some initial teething troubles (forgot to select Nvidia 15kHz) it's working fine, thanks!
I did notice that the initial GA boot screen (I think it's Plymouth) is still horizontal along with the Attract Mode video, once I've finished updating/loading ROMs/playing the thing for a bit I'll have a look to see if I can't knock up something for a vertical monitor.
Thanks for your hard work on this project, it's very much appreciated.
EDIT: Also I couldn't seem to get the vertical - inverted option to work, the screen was always the same orientation (90 deg instead of the 270 I wanted). In the end I just moved the plug on the chassis.
Substring:
Plymouth yeah. It's rotation is fixed in the dev branch of gasetup.
The AM layout is rotated, but looks awful since it's stretched. Oomek is working on that, so it will be part of AttractPlus, not AttractMode
For the inverted stuff: only has effecton mame, I never tried the reflect_x/reflect_y video kernel options
Sonny_Jim_Pin:
The vertical - inverted was an option within Attract Mode, but all it seemed to do was the same as rotate right. WRT the AM intro video, I found an option within AM to rotate it.
AM looks awful by default although I managed to find a really nice vertical layout called 'Verticools Deluxe'

EDIT: I did make a vertical plymouth splash and it worked fine when I did plymough --show-splash but on boot it always uses the original one rather than my modified one? Is it in a different location to /usr/share/plymouth/themes/groovy ?
EDIT2: Putting this info here in case I forget it. The "THT 1P Arcade Controller" needs a USB quirk adding otherwise only one controller appears:
echo "options usbhid quirks=0x16c0:0x05e0:0x040" > /etc/modprobe.d/tht_arcade_controller.conf
Substring:
The best to rotate plymouth without doing anything nasty in the theme is simply to use the panel_orientation of the video= option. This is part of the next gasetup update (you can still install gasetup-git if you want it NOW)
