      I have to say thank you for these nice collections of screensavers...
      My first game I really adored in PC was the XCOM: Enemy Unknown (XCOM: UFO Defense in America) game in 1994.

      If you really have spare time - may you create this screensaver for me?
      I would really appreciate this even if this is not a classic "RetroPie" emulator ;)

          @cyperghost Yeah of course, I will try to work on a XCOM Screensaver, I didn't even know that the XCOM series was that old, I thought it was a recent one!

          @afiction Here's the Chrono Trigger Screensaver

              Is it possible to have it only play one specific video instead of it always picking random video from the scrapper videos. I would like to have it simply play the nes classic screensaver that I captured instead of the game video scrapes.

              thanks

                @mashinboo I've yet to find a way to do this, apart from simply not having any video snaps in your ES setup altogether.

                AFAIK it's unimplemented.

                  yea that is a shame I guess i'll save it for whenever it gets implemented. thanks :O)

                    @malixx That would be really nice ;)
                    X-COM got the best out of the strategie, action and ressource managment style.

                      Yes it's very possible!! I have it setup that way on my Pi.

                      I'll post a link in a min. when I find the discussion..

                      Update:

                      Here's how to do it!

                        I see you are taking requests. I'd love to see one from one of the first four Breath of Fire games.

                          @Malixx Updated list with Chronotrigger and introduced your naming convention ;)

                          Keep attention! ... there is also the TETRIS v2 version in this list. Do you want to keeps this official? All the names of video file were build through youtube rip page.

                            @cyperghost Oh yeah, sorry! The Tetris v2 isn't official though, but I will keep the naming like "RetroPie Screensaver #14 - Chrono Trigger (SNES).mp4" it's more simple that way imo.

                                I can imagine these screensavers take quite a long time to put together. Can't wait to see what comes next :)

                                  So you can´t use these if you have videos (Stephens scraper)?

                                  I tried putting the vids in a screensavers folder and added the paths to /opt/retropie/configs/all/emulationstation/gamelists/retropie/gamelist.xml but it still plays random game videos. Not the screensavers.

                                    Sorry guys, I don't forget all your feedbacks, I just don't have time to work on this right now :(
                                    Here is the Breath of Fire 3 in the meantime:
