Hi, I'm sure this has been asked before, so I apologize... I searched the forums and couldn't find an answer.
When I launch attract mode and the system sits idle, attract mode will eventually launch the game that it is pointing to on the menu. How do I disable this feature?
Thanks,
Jim

I haven’t noticed this. What layout and plugins are you using?

It's a pre-made image that uses Robospin vertical. No plugins are active.
The funny thing is ... I don't believe it launched the games automatically when I first started using the image. Not sure whether I mistakenly activated an option... or whether something else is causing this behavior.

The issue has something to do with the screensaver function. When I disable the screensaver, the system stops launching the game automatically.

It doesn’t happen automatically. I believe your pressing the select button. Which makes sense if your in basic movie or rgb mode. I see a game I like in the screensaver? Select and away I play. Want to return to the layout? Hit any other key.
