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?

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!

It's 60s plus whatever time it takes for your MiSTer to update the Real Time Clock (RTC). It times out after 60s so you wait a maximum of 2 mins if your MiSTer does not update RTC

Ok back with another conundrum. So close to getting it where I want.
Right now I can press Start when a game is being displayed by SAM and play it. That's cool. However, I'd love to be able to just jump in my inserting a coin into my cab. When I do this, it registers the coin but it also seems to skip the current game and go to the next. Anyone know what would cause that?

Select button skips the current game. Just go to setup controller in SAM's menu and pick different buttons

Thanks. Didn't realize the coin drop would count as select but playing with that worked out.
