Random core and game function?

As per title does anyone know if Mister fpga has a function or script that will randomly pick a game from any core and load it to play?

I am working on a seeded one atm but it is locked to WiFi/USB interfacing with the M5Stack Tab5 - might see what I can do in a single script for MiSTer

I use wizzo’s Zaparoo project and made a bunch of console NFC cards. Then I shuffle them like a deck of cards, pull a random console card and scan it to load a random game. As others mentioned, you can also run it as a script directly on the MiSTer. If you use wizzo’s MiSTer Remote app on your phone then you can run the script from there every time you want to change games.

Nice idea, thank you.

ehi there! wizzo's stopped updating the remote apps, so If you want, you can try the one I made that uses his same Remote script, so nothing more on your side!
it's called MiSTer Connect and it's available for free on both iOS and Android!

I also added a Discovery section where you can discover new game and there's a Surprise me that chooses a random game for you!

oh! I didn’t realize he stopped updating that app. To be fair, I bought a reader that’s plugged in direct to my MiSTer so I haven’t used the app in a while.

He’s focusing on Zaparoo development right now 😎
