Vertical front end

I'd quite like a front end that rotates for selecting vertical games. ArcadeOS was fine for DOS Mame, but I want to use the new builds of Mame for windows (0.57 currently installed) and ArcadeOS doesn't switch back to the front end properly after exiting from a game - no good for a keyboard-less cabinet.

Most of the (pretty cool looking)front ends that are around or in development don't rotate in the way ArcadeOS can. I know this may be a problem with Windows, however MAME manages it so surely it can be done?

I don't have the room (in the UK) for two cabs (and can't afford a divorce). I don't want to be forced into only playing in one orientation as I went through a lot of trouble to make the screen rotatable.

Thanks
