@robertybob: I like the idea, this is the easiest to implement on a gamelist level (so not across systems). I could add a menu item like SURPISE ME that would launch either
1) a random game
2) a random game from those that were never played before
3) the least played game / game played longest time ago.
What do you think would be best?
A mix of those options should be possible as well, so go wild!

Ehm, as I see it, *we* are the developers right now for this feature. That is the beauty of open source! :)

That said – I think it is important not to create a christmas tree of menu-items and only show options that people will actually use. So the way this goes is: someone creates a new feature/option and people try it out. If it turns out no-one uses it, it should be removed from the (default) UI. It is easy enough to introduce a settings item to show/hide some additional features.

@zigurana
I would like to move some options out of the retropie menu.
-set audio port
-show ip address
-move retropie menu to settings menu and launch some scripts

I had the idea to add a menu item like this:

#ifdef _RPI_
			// audio port
			auto audio_port_behavior = std::make_shared< OptionListComponent<std::string> >(mWindow, "TRANSITION STYLE", false);
			std::vector<std::string> audio_port;
			audio_port.push_back("AUTO");
			audio_port.push_back("HDMI");
			audio_port.push_back("AUDIO JACK");
			for(auto it = audio_port.begin(); it != audio_port.end(); it++)
				audio_port_behavior->add(*it, *it, Settings::getInstance()->getString("AudioPort") == *it);
			s->addWithLabel("AUDIO PORT", screensaver_behavior);
			s->addSaveFunc([audio_port_behavior] { Settings::getInstance()->setString("AudioPort", audio_port_behavior->getSelected()); });
#endif

I was to lazy to run “amixer cget=3” and pipe and rework the output somehow (i dislike c string handling) to check if output is auto/hdmi/jack and set audio output with “amixer cset numid=3 0-2” and “alsactl store”.

I’d go with this one, personally Although I also like the idea of “discovering” as yet unplayed games.. I’ll be interested to find out what others think (!).
