Random game select via hotkey workaround. Fully works!

Launchbox currently can't assign a button on your joypad or keyboard to select a random game. This feature is in Bigbox but it's not entirely random. 

If you're like me and you have a huge library of games but can't decide what to play, then random select is wonderful. 

You have several options.
If you have a keyboard with macros: 
- Enter the following combination of keys and assign it to a macro button: ALT, T, S, ENTER. 

 If you navigate via a joypad or joystick
-  Use a program like Joy2key or anything similar, and assign ALT, T, S, (ENTER). The last key is optional since for me ENTER makes the window smaller. So I just hit my launch game hotkey at the end which solves that problem. 

 

One thing to note is that these key sequences do not require any delays since Launchbox is surprisingly snappy and your random game should launch instantly. 

Enjoy playing games you otherwise wouldn't!
