New sanwa style 4/8 way auto switch plate servo and software:

tos428cl_retropie
Command line utility and scripts for automation of restrictor orientation, based on selected game (Retropie platform)

Deeter, anyway this can be used? Be a game changer for sure, just install an 8 way sanwa joystick and use this product.

In theory it should work. Although I haven't got the hardware to check it out if it can work with RetroPie there's no reason it can't be made to work with ARpiCADE.

I imagine you could add the switching script and call it from the existing emulator launching scripts fairly easily.
