Title: Is it possible to let MaLa scroll through games automaticly?
Post by: Endprodukt on March 01, 2013, 04:24:41 pm

I want MaLa to scroll through my Mame Games instead of using a Screensaver. Is that possible? I loved that feature in hyperspin. It's just supposed to scroll to a random game every 40 seconds or so.

I'm having a dedicated vertical cab now so HS is not an option. Maybe there's a plugin or something close to what I want?

^ all good suggestions...or, you could write an AHK script to key to turn on after two minutes of inactivity and key your down signal at a set interval until you interrupt.

I guess I'll stick with video screensaver because I wouldn't know how to do it.

That is not the spirit at all. AHK is not a difficult thing to understand\learn.

I prefer playing the games instead of learning how to write AHK's ;)

I will switch back to HS anyway as soon as 2.0 is out... which could be a long wait ;)

I don't know why you'd want that anyways. The rest of your image will be static.

It's not supposed to be a screensaver. More like an attract mode.
