These sticks are locked to the horizontal at the system level so apps to rotate the screen won't work.
There is a way to edit the system and i've seen examples for other sticks on freaktab but i've also seen where you could get stuck in a reboot loop if you edit something wrong so for now i'm going to say screen rotation is a no.
I'll test the psp & reicast this weekend. any particular games?

I think the gamestick is/was a better option. 
If I had only one wish, it would be for three more wishes.

I think the gamestick is/was a better option.

Game stick is an Amlogic 8726-MX
This is a rockchip 3066

I don't know off the top of my head which one is better.

edit:

ok.
After looking at some benchmarks I still don't know which one is better.
both SOC's seem to leap frog each other in different benchmarks.
The gamestick rates higher on antutu though by about 1000 pts but I don't know how that translates into real world performance.

I think i'll just have to run some emulators & compare speed that way.

I have a gauntlet image for dreamcast  & monster hunter iso for psp that i'll test this weekend.

Also, I have rooted the stick using an app someone on freaktab supplied.
The app is not in english & kinda sketchy looking but it worked & its not like my world will end if I bricked this thing. :)
