      Hello,

      I've just finished to mount my picade and got it working with retropi... really amazing!

      Now I wonder if there is a way (I don't know if this is an emulator settings or if it's per-ROM) to let the system play's the selected ROM or a random ROM in demo-mode, as soon as the screen-saver starts... If I'm now wrong, mspacman, galaga etc have this feature on the original arcade when nobody was playing...

      thanks a lot

             Giampaolo

        @iw2lsi The screensaver settings are hard coded to Emulation Station and you would need to rewrite the code in order to do something like that. There's a thread about a video preview mod for ES going on at the moment and they might be able to implement this change as part of that. It's in the ideas and enhancements forum if you go and check it out.
