Carousel Preview - lantzelot-swe/PCUGameManager GitHub Wiki

Use the menu "File/Carousel preview" or the "Carousel preview" button below the game list in the main window to launch a window that shows a preview of the Carousel in fullscreen mode. The window is opened on a secondary screen if you have multiple screens available. You can scroll the Carousel with the left/right buttons on the keyboard, the mouse wheel, or the page Up/Down buttons (to jump 4 games back/forward). Press enter or double-click on the selected game to launch it in VICE. Close the preview by pressing ESC.

You can also use USB joystick/controllers to navigate the Carousel. Make sure to connect your Joysticks to the PC before launching PCUAE Manager, it has trouble detecting new Joysticks added after launch. Scroll one game with left/right, 4 games back/forward with up/down and press any joystick/controller button to launch a game.

The Carousel is synchronized with the game list in the main window, choosing a game in the list will update the carousel, and scrolling the carousel will update the selected game in the list.

The Carousel might not be an exact match on how it will look on TheC64, but it is pretty accurate. Too long texts for title, author and Composer will be shown with "..." in the Preview, on the real Carousel it will be wrapped on a new line instead.

The preview window can only be shown if there are 10 games or more in the currently selected gamelist view.
