      Greetings all,

      I'm not sure what the proper term is, but does exist a script that could load games (MAME especially) one at a time and run for a duration then switch to another game?

      My son likes watching old arcade demos and it would be cool to have a playlist load every 3-5 minutes, especially if it's in an arcade case, to showcase all games loaded. That way we don't listen to MK3 demo in a loop.

      I hope that makes sense.

        Under UI Settings, you can configure the screensaver to play random videos in your gamelists. Does that work for your needs?

          Of course right after I posted this I discovered this:
          https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/25551/demo-mode-random-starting-of-games-for-es-retropie-menu?loggedin=true

          This is a demo that loads random games from a specific folder and runs them for 60 seconds before switching to a new game. I think if a game seem appealing, you can just "insert a coin" or "press start" and start playing from there and after it is idle for 10 seconds, it returns to randomizing the games again. Kinda a neat script.
