Make Attract Mode spin to the next system/game

Hey guys, I have a question about the Attract Mode. When it’s enabled HS automatically spins to a random system/game but when it’s disabled it just stays on the same system/game forever.

So far so good, but is it possible to make it spin to the next system/game and not to a random one? I would like that it goes chronological through my systems/games when I use it as a screensaver. This random spinning is driving me crazy.

Your question got me thinking.  Sounds like something that can be easily scripted at boot up to perform (ie: Down Arrow every 10 seconds) to switch to another system.    I did a quick search thinking someone has to have already done all the work and came across this 

 

app; Clicker1.  

 

Let me preface this with I have no affiliation with this company and just decided to test their app based on your dilemma and idea.

 

I was able to get it to perform keystrokes after a certain interval.  Making it swap to the next system after, say 10secs.     There is an extensive menu for settings.  Everything from Delays, loading on boot, loading processes    It "seemed" to recognize when I took over and didn't interfere with my input.  I haven't given it that much testing.   It does have keyboard shortcuts to start and stop the script which is useful.   <-  This part may be difficult depending on your setup. (no keyboard in the cab and buttons are already configured)

 

Load up Hyperspin, Start it.  Boom.   

 

It's a free program.  There's a pro version which seems to enable some useful features but if you can utilize the start stop, you might be able to bypass the 2 Hour limit.   I'm not certain though.    Or 5$.    

 

I'm sure there's others out there or a much less feature packed should you need, but this is the first result that came up for me.

 

I've also checked the download on VirusTotal and it's come out clean.    Feel free to do the same.
