      I'm getting a 3.5 inch display and case kit, should arrive tomorrow but I read after it was sent that it's slow with retropie due to frame rate limitations. It would be great to show an image of the cartridge or game title for systems that are slow on it, or all systems on a 3.5 inch GPIO screen, depending on what game is loaded, and have retropie output via HDMI as usual, but a way to turn off the feature and show what's on the screen for portable gaming that doesn't require high FPS.

        I guess this isn't possible? Surely it is?
