Sure, no need for a hurry.

For those want to testdrive the navigation (Joy-right/Select) and launch game (Start) also for the image slideshow screen saver -see suggestion 4 above- are invited to do so:

git clone https://github.com/RetroPie/EmulationStation.git cd EmulationStation git fetch origin pull/673/head:slideshow-controls git checkout slideshow-controls cmake -DFREETYPE_INCLUDE_DIRS=/usr/include/freetype2/ -DGL=On -DRPI=On . && make -j 5 all ./emulationstation --debug

@herb_fargus the issue is that sometime the runcommand does not bring up the configuration menu. It would be great if it could be launched for the selected game in emulation station from an option in the select menu.
