Reply To: Trying Retropie on official Raspberry 7" Display

Tinkering some more:
Updated Raspbian via the Retropie setup screen then after reboot the display did a 180° flip. Modified the config.txt in the /boot folder to add a line “lcd_rotate=2”. Performed a reinstall of Retropie and now it seems to be all working normally. This time around I didn’t have to mess with the refresh rate setting.

Googling the flipped display issue, it seems the display was incorrectly orientated on the initial release. And I can only guess this was corrected.

I own the Pimoroni stand and while it looks fine, flipping the display to it’s “correct” position does make it look better. I’ll have to modify the stand to accommodate because at present the legs only mount in one way.
