Bugs with randomize in ES 2.4.0

[lostless]

I'm on a pi 3 on the latest retropie. No over clocks or anything like that.
I've been having issues with the new ERS2.4.0 with the randomize feature where you press X to randomly select a game. If you have a small number of roms in any system, after pressing x a few times, it quits ES and throws you out to the command line with and error. It happens with larger gamelists, but takes longer. Its as if i goes through the entire rom list and when it has no more roms left it gives up. It happens on both my pis. A screenshot of the crash error.

The number in the error is the number of roms in that system.

Thanks for the report. I'll look into it tomorrow.

My bad!

Thanks.

Sorry about that - naive mistake from my end on the random selection logic refactoring.

I just submitted a fix, and I'm providing a patched binary here:

https://github.com/pjft/EmulationStation/releases/download/2.4.0/emulationstation

In case you want to install it yourself.

Thanks for flagging this.

To install, exit ES, and in the terminal (or via SSH), run:

mkdir ES-update
cd ES-update
wget https://github.com/pjft/EmulationStation/releases/download/2.4.0/emulationstation
chmod +x emulationstation
sudo cp emulationstation /opt/retropie/supplementary/emulationstation

and then reboot.

Should be good.

Sorry about that once again.
