My cab has a PC Games list in mamewah.
I have it setup with attract movies and the screensaver also plays the movies.
I noticed that some of my movies weren't playing in attract mode, and upon investigation it was my mistake: I had not named the avi with the exact same name as the "rom" (the lnk file).
This is when I noticed that the screensaver had been playing all movies, even the ones that didn't match any of the "roms" in the game list.
I remember from an old thread regarding adult snaps in screensavers that mamewah would make sure that the snaps being showed during the screensaver would only match the currently selected game list (so that you wouldn't accidentally play adult snaps as long as your current list had those filtered out). It appears that this behavior doesn't extend to movies in the screensaver, is that correct? or is this due to the fatc that I'm in a PC game list rather than mame game list?
I can see it working both ways, in fact in my current PC game list I have multiple movies for some games (GLTron with multiple themes, different levels in neverball, etc...) and I like the idea of all of them being shown in the screensaver.
On the other hand, while I don't plan on having adult attract movies, I poorly filtered my list when I ran buddamame for a week to create my movies, so there could be some adult movies in there by accident, and I don't want them to show up in the screensaver.
Maybe mamewah could add an option to the screensaver to show only the current list or not (and do it on a per-emulator basis so I could filter in mame and not filter in PC Games).
