Description
I know this is currently possible through command line, or editing the shortcut, but I'd like to implement this from within the RetroArch menu itself with a few options:
- Specify a game from a playlist file.
- Random game from that playlist.
- Load the most recent game in the History list.
Thanks!

Research direction
Review how RetroArch currently loads games through command-line options and how the menu exposes playlist and History entries. Define the menu flow for selecting a specific playlist game, choosing a random game, or loading the most recent History entry, then verify each option launches the selected game when RetroArch starts.
