Ability to use 2 Front Ends One vert, one Horz?

[killbill]

Hi Guys,

I've had to take a break from the hobby for awhile; but now I'm slowly catching up and getting back into it.  I've been doing a lot of searches and reading a lot of very useful info.

There is one issue I need some help on:  I am building a three panel cocktail cab (2 head to head cps with Mag-Stik Plus balltop sticks, with four buttons per panel; and 1 horizonal CP with Happs Supers and six buttons per player).  Using a 21" computer monitor

I was hoping to set up two front ends- one that will display all the vertical game names vertically; and another one that will display all the horizonal game names horizonally.  Is there a way to do this?  Is this necessary? If so, how could I toggle between the front ends via CP controls.

Basically, I want all vertical games and title list to display vertically
and all Horizonal games and title list to display horizonally.

Toggling between the front ends is what confuses me.  Any suggestions?  Am I overthinking it?  Is there an easier way to do this then the above idea?

Any help is truly appreiciated.
Thanks.

Have you checked out MALA?

Just switch orientation, then switch "game list" (filter, etc.)

Once you have the custom lists made it would be simple to switch between the two and would also be simple to switch between HORZN and VERT.

Even better you can have MaLa AUTOMATICALLY switch game list and orientation (as I do)
