Screensaver: Respect “Skip Game Details Screen”

📋 Summary

When Skip Game Details Screen is enabled in Big Box, pressing A/Confirm on a game while the screensaver is active should take the user directly to the configured game list view with that game pre-selected, instead of opening the Game Details screen.


🎯 Feature Overview

  • If Skip Game Details Screen = ON:

    • Pressing A during the screensaver exits to the game list (wheel/wall/etc. per user’s view setting) with the highlighted game selected.

  • If Skip Game Details Screen = OFF:

    • Current behavior remains: A opens the Game Details screen for the highlighted game.

  • Works consistently for platform views, playlist views, and multi-platform views.


🛠 Example Use Case

  • User prefers a fast, console-like flow and has Skip Game Details enabled.

  • In screensaver, a favorite game appears.

  • Presses A → Immediately lands in the game list view with that title selected → presses A again to launch.


📦 Benefits

  • Consistency: Screensaver input respects the user’s existing navigation preference.

  • Speed: Reduces extra steps for users who skip details by design.

  • Flow: Keeps interaction aligned with “pick and play” Big Box setups (couch/arcade).
