How can I set up SAM to start back up after I interrupt it to play a game, then leave the core inactive for some amount of time?

Start SAM only from MiSTer main menu
If you change this to menuonly is set to "No", SAM will always start after you put down the controller.

I think that’s what menuonly does in MiSTer_SAM.ini
Try changing

Code: Select all

menuonly="Yes"

to

Code: Select all

menuonly="No"

Hey really enjoying SAM so far. I'm wondering if it's possible to have SAM on by default when you turn on the MiSTer? I have autoplay enabled after 60 seconds of idle in the menu, but when I power my MiSTer on it doesn't start unless I manually run the MiSTer_SAM script.

It takes a little longer than 60 seconds but it works for me.

I had to run the script and let it auto configure. Not sure if that helps you.

Yeah turns out I'm just impatient. Took longer than 60 but started eventually. Thanks!
