Select random game in BigBox

[outchy]

I was just wondering if there was still hope for getting the "Select random game" functionality in BigBox mode. I would be forever grateful

There is the same chance as any feature unfortunately. Jason is 1 person developing LaunchBox and there are over several hundred feature requests tracked and not tracked. So unless Jason says he's going to and then goes to work on it right away, we just can't promise anything in a specific time frame, unless it's a bug.

Fair enough, thanks man

Of course. I'm sorry if that answer kind of sucked, but it's where we're at right now.

I have a suggestion that would make this pretty easy to implement:  just add the option to set a keyboard shortcut to start attract mode, which of course already randomly selects a game!

Created Bitbucket item for this:

Jason said on the stream today (he's still streaming btw) that this is a current feature. He said it's a plug-in and also there's a way to press a button to "spin the wheel" and it will land on a game. Can anyone tell me how to do this?

Here is the plugin.

In BigBox you can set a key/button for Spin Wheel While Pressed. It is located in the Controller Buttons as well as Keyboard Mappings Options. Set the map and then when you press that button or key it will spin until you let go then stop randomly on a game.
