BizHawk 1.12.2 release version 1. Always show "Choose a Platform" window to be displayed after drag and dropping if a ROM (or extension) not recognized - Currently unrecognized ROMs (more like unrecognized extension) won't open after drag and drop if it has an extension like .ROM. There's a file extensions settings in Config missing this feature. 2. 100% override for Key Priority (in Config) - Currently using the "Hotkeys override Input" will act like "Both Input and hotkey" making this... not working as intended? Requesting an option that: pressing a Hotkey without triggering Input.

Hotkeys override input works just fine for me .ROM files open the file chooser for me as well, when dragging and dropping
It's hard to look this good. My TAS projects

1. My example was bad, here are examples not loading because extension not recognized (and no "choose platform" window): - 007 James Bond (J) (MV) (V2.6).mv made for Othello Multivision is a SG-1000 clone (SMSHawk) so changing the extension to .sms let me play it (and also puts the correct platform without asking). (other ROMs list with mv: http://www.smspower.org/Tags/OthelloMultivision?sid=8e1ec7a8a0cac52ea8c89cbfb356a460) - TI-83 roms "Fortunately", I'm talking about an uncommon scenario (ROM extension named differently than standards), but that's why I would like a "Always show choose platform when not recognized ROM" or extension. 2. Repeat steps - Config - Controllers - P1 A: Space, OK - Config - Input - Frame advance: Space, OK - Config - Key priority: Hotkeys overrides Input What should happen: You press Space and the game advances 1 frame What happens: You press Space and the game advances 1 frame and presses P1 A.

Okay better example. I fixed it so that if it doesn't know an extension it assumes ROM.
2. Repeat steps - Config - Controllers - P1 A: Space, OK - Config - Input - Frame advance: Space, OK - Config - Key priority: Hotkeys overrides Input
Okay, the feature specifically doesn't work for frame advance. (Possibly other similar keys like rewind, fast forward, turbo)
