      @morpie For what it's worth, I have a cocktail style cabinet and play most vertical games rotated by Retroarch (my setup has a three-sided control panel) and performance is great on those games. Actually, vertical orientation works great in other emulators as well. For example, Tempest in AdvanceMAME runs fine rotated to fill a vertical.

      I still use Emulation Station as a front-end since this can be managed from the horizontal position on my system. However, I am using an LCD display upside-down (this is typically the best viewing angle for a table top cocktail design) and I need to rotate everything 180 degrees using config.txt. I don't believe my system pays much of a penalty for that, if any. But I did try running with 90 degree rotation at the system level and I can confirm that games definitely slow down.

      So, from personal experience, if you can keep the operating system horizontal and let the emulators do the rotation for vertical games, you get the best performance. And if Attract Mode has the ability to rotate itself, well, that's the best vertical solution I have heard of on the Pi so far.

      @leandrosdias You should also look into @pjft 's advice, maybe it's just the theme that's broken because of the resolution or aspect ratio of the screen.

      Ok. Thanks for the answer !
      Wasn't sure if you needed that driver for any on/off switch hooked up to the pins.

      Yea that did the trick, thanks. But now it states error about gamelist.xml parsing, the file is missing. I need to investigate more about it.

      Edit: Got it fixed, just deleted the gamelist.xml from the EmulationStation folder and it recreated new one.

      Figured I'd share the error I was getting. Firstly, you need to be using Python 3+ for the version of ansible.

      @colossalfalafel i think for basic use you shouldn't have to do anything config beyond the initial controller setup.

      input lag was reduced in the default NES and SNES emulators about a year ago. hopefully that is new to you!

      @capeman Nope,

      I had to manually rewrite it.
      It seems swapping the controllers caused it to automatically over write it.

      Strange really :s

      Thanks @caver01. I was working with all 3 AdvanceMAME options available in RetroPie.

      Maybe I should install all copies of AdvanceMAME and delete the /opt/retropie/configs/mame-advmame folder, and install AdvanceMAME 1.4 again and see if it continues to get over written after I've set some controls again.

      There might be an old file system redirect hanging around.

      Yup, setting up the controller(s) and then adding roms (through one of the various ways). https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/Transferring-Roms
