Android TV - Possible to manually rotate menus to vertical setup?

[lowenergy]

First off, apologies if this has been asked before, as the only other topics on the matter have been dormant for some years and I was reluctant to bump those. I was wondering if any progress has been made on the matter.

I have a (2015) Nvidia Shield TV that I use in conjunction with a vertically orientated monitor as a dedicated tate setup for Retroarch purposes. It works great, outside of one area: fumbling with the menus (XMB) which are still presented horizontally. Rotating video for games works flawlessly, I just wish there were a way to rotate Retroarch menus as well.

Sure it’s certainly not unusable in it’s current state, but if anyone uses a similar setup and has found a good solution, it would certainly make using this vertical setup with a Shield TV easier.

Apologies for bumping an old topic of mine, I just wanted to see if anyone has had a similar situation and found a workaround for it:

Android TV device (Nvidia Shield), trying to get RA menus and UI to display in vertical mode (in XMB, but I’ll switch to any menu driver if there’s a way to force it into a vertical display).

There should be a setting in settings > video called “screen orientation” that should do it. It should be exposed on Windows, Android and Linux/X11.

Thanks for the help!

However, unfortunately, all that setting seems to do (at least on Android TV) is present RA in a portrait aspect ratio, but still nonetheless in landscape format, like so:

I was hoping to rotate the menu/UI into something full screen yet rotated 90 degrees to match a rotated display, for a TATE setup.

Thanks again!
