1 year ago This is intentional. The screen rotation setting is separate from physically rotating your device, which should work how you expect. Some DS games are played with the system held sideways, which is where rotating the screen layout would be useful. I admit that it might be confusing, since these options were designed for platforms other than Android and I simply ported them over.
When changing the screen rotation the emulator itself keeps displaying in vertical mode. Things like the notification bar, the navigation gestures/buttons/dock, sound meter and even the buttons of the emulator are on the same place so the only way to play like this is using a controller. Only the emulated screens are displayed in horizontal mode so maybe this is not working as intented.
