Is there a vertical Frontend that the Pi boots up into?

mamemaniac:
Point me to the setup thread please...

I don't know of a setup thread but the Emulationstation-Dev version can rotate to vertical. There is also a Carbon Vertical theme you can use. You have to change this line to make Emulationstation rotate:


--- Code: ---Change /opt/retropie/configs/all/autostart.sh with the following line: emulationstation --screenrotate 3 (or 1)
--- End code ---

I think 3 and 1 will make it vertical depending on which way you rotated your monitor.

Let me know if you run into trouble. I have a little more info in my notes somewhere.

attractmode, advmenu, retrofe... is this a trick question?

mamemaniac:
No trick question here. Just someone looking for help that doesn’t apparently have the experience you do with the Pi.
For more clarity...How do you have the pi boot into a vertical emulator front end theme? For example I want to run mame in an arcade machine. I don’t want to go through menu selections to get to the emulator from boot.

Just use retropie. Retropie automatically boots to the frontend and if the only emulator your have games for is MAME - it's the only thing that will show. They have a very detailed tutorial on getting started: https://retropie.org.uk/docs/First-Installation/

And while JKMAN's method should work, I prefer to rotate the entire raspberry pi screen instead of just emulation station. You do that in the config.txt file.

Add either (depending which type of display you're using)
display_rotate=1
lcd_rotate=1
