digitalton Posted September 15, 2014 Posted September 15, 2014 I have tried searching through the forums on this, and from what I have read, it seems that this is currently not possible, so it may be a feature request, but I wanted to make sure.Is there a way to select a random game only from your favorites list? I know the screensaver has this functionality, but the issue is that you then cannot go in and play the game.I have not found a way to get 'random' to do this, and if there is a workaround of some sort, I have not come across it yet. Thanks so much!
DazzleHP Posted September 15, 2014 Posted September 15, 2014 I don't use the random feature at all - i know what i want and i go get it BUT, if you are viewing MAME in the screensaver i believe you can just enter a coin, and GameEx will switch it to playable
digitalton Posted September 16, 2014 Author Posted September 16, 2014 Thanks for the quick response. I thought about trying that, and when I did, it would retain the bar at the bottom with the game title and graphic, plus, it would exit once I hit other buttons.Beyond that, and more importantly, I have 6 other emulated systems with around 200 games that are also in my favorites / play in the screensaver that this would not work for.And while I too love to find my favorites to play and go get them, I want this option because I have a plan for this quick 1 on 1 game night, where all of my favorites are quick 1 on 1 style games, across multiple emulators. A few people will come over, and then 2 of them will face off on a random game, the loser hands the controls to the next player and another random game is played.I was thinking this would be a quick thing to get done, but perhaps not, any other ideas?Thanks again!
DazzleHP Posted September 16, 2014 Posted September 16, 2014 What you could do is one player randomly wiggles the stick up n down, while a second player looks away and presses the select button after some time. There is an option somewhere in GameEx that lets you have looping menus, so they return to the top or bottom of list instead of stopping. Not a very elegant solution i know but should be enough to randomly choose games
Tom Speirs Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 Hi, its not currently possible in GameEx but its a great feature request. I will look at adding it.. 4
digitalton Posted September 17, 2014 Author Posted September 17, 2014 Thanks Tom, that would be awesome.
