Enhancement: Automatically start ROM

[GoogleCodeExporter]

This is more of a feature request.

It would be nice to have the option to automatically start playing after 
loading it instead of having to click "Load ROM" and then "Play Game".  
I think once a game is configured to the user's liking, every time he 
loads it afterwards is because he/she wants to play it so there is no need 
to keep the menu open.

Best Regards.

I dont know.  To me the load rom option is better in the sense that if you 
choose a 
rom that isnt the one you want by accident, then at least you can go back, and 
load 
the correct rom you were intending to load.  This may be more of a nuiscance to 
others who do this, and then would have to reset the whole emulator, and choose 
the 
correct rom that was intended.  So I for one say dont change a thing.

spider5:
What was that, a request to ignore a feature request?
Anyway, in all seriousness, you're saying you prefer to do an extra click every 
time 
you play a game so that in the rare event that you load a ROM by error you 
don't have 
to do one click to bring up the menu and load another ROM.  
Unless I'm missing something, that doesn't quite add up...

in my opinion, it would be good to have that feature as an optional feature.  
Some
may want to load it up and play it without the extra clicks, but others may 
not. 
Personally, I would like to have that extra click to ensure that if I want to 
change
some settings before I go and play, I can.

I agree and that's why my request starts with "It would be nice to have the 
option"...

spider5, I don't think you quite understand how the emulator is actually 
supposed to
work in the end.  You're supposed to be able to (and I'm sure the devs are 
working on
this) load as many roms as you want without actually starting the game anyway, 
but
right now, if you load even one, you HAVE to start the game before loading the 
new
one because it will FREEZE otherwise.  However, loading a game, having it 
autostart,
and seeing that you clicked the wrong rom doesn't take any extra time than it 
would
if it didn't autostart.

obergfel: that is a good idea, actually.  Not that it would be hard to have 
that one
extra click in order to bring up the menu again and then change the settings 
(though
it would be one less scroll click)...

hey! my request was different than this one.
My issue was about a special version which will load a game directly when 
started
from the hbc,not about starting a game without clicking on loaad game
