| Mame screensaver? |
| (1/1) |
| DaOld Man:
This might not be the right forum, if it isnt, I apologize. But I am running mame v107 on a winxp computer. My front end is GLaunch. Glaunch has a screen saver. I am thinking of adding a "pause" button to my panel, but by using the keyboard, I have found that if I pause the mame game, the screen stays on forever. Windows screen saver does not come on. I have tried setting my "monitor off" to the minimum setting in BIOS, but this doesnt work either. I am worried that someone will hit the pause button, then walk off and leave the screen on for a long time, which cant be good for the screen. The screen is a regular 19" vga computer monitor. Is there anyway to allow the screen saver to come on while a game is in pause mode? Thanks.. |

Yeah, this is a general topic. Not sure. I've noticed this, too. Settings the power settings to turn the monitor off might still be functional. |

Well, I tried doing that in Windows and BIOS, but neither work during the game. I dont think I will install the pause button, I dont want to take a chance of ruining the monitor. |
