Shuffle Feature #13109

Open cosmic-lamanite opened 3 years ago

cosmic-lamanite commented 3 years ago

Feature request for a Shuffle or Randomizer button which can be placed as Hotkey on controller, this button would pick a random ROM from a Playlist. I believe Retropie has such feature and it is incredibly useful

Oh god i'm waiting for this feature for ages... I'm actually streaming retropie on my console (which can run retroarch natively) only because of this feature. I hope this feature will be implemented one day (before i die)

Sorry accidentally closed it lol but reopened, anyways, yes I just got a tablet to make a gaming system, all the front ends don't work properly on it because I am using a USB to store all my games on it, so I only use plain libretro, this feature would be amazing, especially because I have about 8k+ games!

Wait, so does RetroPie have this feature? I would absolutely love a feature like this. Would it be possible to accomplish this externally, like some sort of script that would run through RetroArch?

hizzlekizzle commented 2 years ago

Sure, it'd be fairly easy to script externally to launch a random game via RetroArch's command-line interface.

I would personally like to see it added to the 'Explore' tab, to be able to launch a random game from the results.

PR means GitHub pull request. RetroArch is a community-driven project that is developing largely thanks to enthusiasts from all over the world. Instead of waiting for a long time, You can also contribute by suggesting your implementation this feature. It is highly likely that such proposals will be accepted if they do not break existing functionality.

I am not the author of this topic but i could be. I'm not sure to be competent enough to start learning a programming language (didn't learn it at school^^), i don't even know where i should begin and how long it would take for me, but i understand what you mean.
