Hello All

I am currently getting some old classic video game commercials and would love to use these as screensaver videos in RetroBat. Is that possible - or does RetroBat randomly choose a video from the /roms/<SYSTEM NAME>/videos folder?

If this isn't possible, I think this would be an awesome feature to have to allow "Custom screensaver" videos. My thought would be the idle time would make the system almost seem like it went to a commerical break and still give users new ideas on what to play.

Thanks all for checking!

TYSVM!!!! You guys are amazing

Any chance you could help me with setting folder images?

I am putting my RomHacks/Homebrew in a sub directory in Retrobat: /roms/N64/N64 RomHacks - I know you can 'scrape' the folder and set images, but can you also do this manually?

You can do in this way :
after activate "show folder" option
- go to developer option, and activate "search for local art"
- name your picture "NameOfTheFolder-image.png" and place it on the folder \vectrex\images
- update gamelist
