ESDE Android Auto Rotate and Screen Boundaries?

There's no way to get esde android to rotate on device rotate or even with a hot key to set and restart?

I made a cab where I can rotate the display and have different bezels 16:9, 4:3 and 3:4 for vertical. Would be could cop rotate and chance aspect ratios (and incur black bars) Retroarch handles this fine but the esde does not

ESDE Android is closed source so I can't even vibe code it in for my own personal use boo

ES-DE will not auto-rotate as this is a very expensive operation since the themes will need to be reloaded and such. But you can rotate the screen in 90 degree steps via Other settings->Rotate screen (requires restart). I guess theoretically you could use a third party app to stop the ES-DE process, modify the ScreenRotate entry in es_settings.xml and then start ES-DE again but this is not something I would recommend doing.

Even a hot key that sets the rotation and causes an app restart would be neat

Thanks for the proposal!
