    Hey guys,

    My RPI2 sits inside a custom arcade cabinet. I was wondering if there is a way to have the Pi automatically scroll through emulators when sitting idle?

      I was wondering the same thing today, or even just play videos like Attract Mode does.

        @Dominus There's a work-in-progress version of EmulationStation by @fieldofcows that can play a video screensaver. I don't think that feature is in the official build yet, but it probably will be soon.

          Yes, it's been tested and it's just about ready to go although I was going to add an option to mute the audio before submitting the PR to RetroPie.

              @fieldofcows Any update on this yet? There was a thread (but I can't seem to find it anymore) that stated how to get this going. I tested it, but it wasn't working correctly when I tried to shutdown ES. I wanted to give it a go now and see if things have changed.
