Feature Request: Keyboard shortcut to rotate core menu

[thorr2]

I have a rotatable screen in my arcade cabinet. Depending on the position, the menu sometimes appears sideways. I have put entries for all the arcade cores in the MiSTer.ini to rotate the core menu. However, if my screen is vertical when I first turn on the MiSTer, the menu is sideways and I would like to be able to rotate it with a keypress so I can read it without tilting my head. Thanks.

You could potentially add a core exception to an alternate ini file for [Menu] to rotate the screen and load an alternate ini from the menu with a button press.

Controller: Back + R/L/U/D | Select Alternate INI file if defined (Default/Alt1/Alt2/Alt3)

Thanks! That is actually a great idea as a workaround that I could use today. It would be nice to have a hotkey though. Then I would not have to make a mile long ini file for each arcade game.

There is a vertical option for the corename:

[arcade_vertical]

Just put your options under that for all arcade games that are vertical to have those ini options applied to them as a core override.
