Emulationstation on a cocktail table
-
So I've been working on this cabinet for my boss and I'm at a really difficult spot.
It's a cocktail cabinet and almost everything is working as expected.My problem is emulationstation.
The interface is rotated 90degrees with respect to the user at one end of the cocktail cab.
The games, due to config files, are oriented as expected, it's just the UI of emulationstation that's the problem.In the boot.cfg I've tried telling it to rotate 90degrees, but as a result there's a MASSIVE performance hit.
Does anyone know of any theme or something I can do to allow the emulationstation UI to orient with respect to the cocktail user without there being a gigantic performance hit?
It's literally the last hurdle I have to overcome.

Pi Model: 3
RetroPie Version Used: 4.1
Built From: Pre made SD Image on RetroPie website
USB Devices connected: 2 minipacs from ultimarc
Controller used: 2 minipacs from ultimarc
Error messages received: none, just slowness as a result of rotating the image, or the front end not being oriented to the user of the cocktail table, one or the other
How to replicate the problem: set boot/config.txt to rotate the screen 90degrees to get performance hit, or use emulationstation as a user of a cocktail table oriented 90degrees -
Looks like my solution might just be to use a different front end. I'm pretty sure attractmode has some verticle themes. Gonna give that a shot and report back.

I'm thinking about a cocktail table and was wondering if you ever figured it out?
