Blacklist question/request #239

Hi!

My use case implies a background playing of games on a TV with a sound, where a picture is not as important as background music. In this case, I would like not to skip games, where a static initial screen, but not a static sound (i.e. intro music). This is especially true for games on Amiga (there are 90% of them are now on the blacklist).

As far as I understand, the black list was made in a semi-automatic mode through the capture of a game video.

My question is whether it can also include a sound analysis and an appropriate separate setting in SAM (for example, "skip games with a static image" and/or "skip games with static sound") so that you can choose it separately.

I could also help with analysis if you tell you how to do it now.

Thanks.

Hey Sergei,

You're correct, right now there isn't an option in SAM to disable blacklists. Your use case is interesting and I have considered for a long time to add an option to disable blacklists. For now, you can go to SAM's gamelists folder and delete the blacklists: /media/fat/Scripts/.MiSTer_SAM/SAM_Gamelists/amiga_blacklist.txt

They will get redownloaded though when you update SAM.

Here is the option in the ini to disable blacklists: https://github.com/mrchrisster/MiSTer_SAM/blob/55778ff7c2ae12fefb80657f6eebf3db07380fd2/MiSTer_SAM.ini#L182

Please update SAM and let me know if this works
