Load Random Game for folder #106

Closed ghost closed 4 years ago

Hi dear Sour,

Unlike Mesen, Loading a random game in Mesen-S is related to the recent games list unlike using the game's folder (specific folder or last folder used).

I can't reproduce this.

Setting the "Games" folder to a specific folder (in Preferences -> Folders/Files -> Games) makes the random game option load games from that folder only. Keeping it as "last folder only" will try to load random games from any recently used folder from the last 10 loaded games.

Yes But the problem it's not loading random games (whether from specific folder or last folder). It only loads the roms that they were loaded previously by the emulator.

For example we have a folder named (roms) and it contains : rom1, rom2, rom3

Let's suppose we loaded rom1 , and then rom2 but not rom3 Now whenever I hit Random game , the emulator will only switch between rom1 and rom2 Whether the option is load from specific folder or last folder used. it's not working like Mesen.

Thanks for the video.

The problem is that the files in your folder are .smc files. There was a small bug that caused the random game feature to ignore .smc files completely, which is why you got the "could not find any game" error. It should be fixed with the latest commit.
