Re: Looking for log/clue why ES video screensaver may get stuck w/black screen

Closing the thread on this. There is nothing wrong with the randomizer. While there was exactly one (1) "Little Computer People" video, there were ~100 variations of the game in the XML referencing the same video. So it's probably by design. It would seem that each game listed in XML with a valid video has the potential to play. Like throwing 100 tickets into a casino raffle drum... You're more likely to win.

Ideally each video found should act as 1 potential. Not a big problem, but since games with multiple variants that reference the same video are more likely to play, making things seem less random than they truly are.

Mystery solved after spending way too much time staring at random videos.

Ok, I understand the process here, what I don't agree with is the fact that saving the configuration implies overwrite it as a whole, instead of just update changed values and leave unchanged ones as they were. This make SplashScreen and others unreliable, as they can be easily removed by mistake with just changing a single setting through the UI.
Just my two cents. Anyway, thank you for the --nosplashscreen flag advice.

@jeffjordan Another nice trick with the neogeo.zip is this: If you are using lr-fbalpha to play these games, you can stick the neogeo.zip file in the BIOS directory instead of a ROMs folder. FBA will check there for the neogeo and use it. That way, it is out of the games list regardless of filters/metadata.

@hurricanefan I will try now thanks for the tip

edit* that worked thanks man

@virginsteele Have you checked behind you? Hmmm...? WATCH OUT!!
