Trying to rotate video of MakeCode game(not directly related to McAirpos) #24

Closed vikramv786 closed 2 years ago

vikramv786 commented 2 years ago

I am using Raspberry Pi4 on an Arcade1Up Machine (Vertical screen). I have been unable to rotate the screen for the game.

Have tried following options but none of them work

  1. Modified /boot/cmdline.txt and added a video parameter at the end of the line

video=HDMI-A-1:1920x1080M@60,rotate=90

  1. Edited the autostart.sh script, in /opt/retropie/configs/all, and added

emulationstation --screenrotate 3

  1. Edited /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg and added

video_allow_rotate=yes video_rotation = "3"

  1. Created a custom cfg file with below contents called "makecode.cfg" and placed it in the roms/makecode folder that contains the elf game file. Gave it execute permissions

video_allow_rotate=yes video_rotation = "3"

5 Edited /boot/config.txt and added display_rotate=3

Any suggestion to rotate my game?

I am sorry, @vikramv786, but I have no experience with rotating either a display or a MCA game on a RPi/Linux machine. I only know that the MCA games write directly to the framebuffer somehow and logs some screen initialization routine during startup, but I only stumbled upon the screen related termfix repo by chance while working on McAirpos and I don't know whether or how the screen could be configured with a game config file.

I would suggest trying the MCA forum, an issue at the pxt-arcade github repo, or maybe the Raspberry Pi forum for help.

If you need any help configuring the controllers on the Arcade1Up, I might be of better use, and I can leave this issue open for a while here, as well, in case someone else might have a better clue.

This issue unfortunately doesn't seem to get any help here. Now closing, since it is more related to the RPi OS, RetroPie/Retroarch and/or MakeCode Arcade, than the McAirpos launcher itself. I hope you get the help your are seeking or figure it out!
