As for running Mala, I find it has some weird effects that I'm trying to fix so I'd rather not use that. --- End quote --- Attached Windows and command Exe (Use saver.exe in a batch file) WindowsSSTogGui.exe was just for fun :-) (see attached pic) :o anyway your batch file may look something like this, I'm sure others have better ideas as I'm not bat file expert ie example.bat --- Code: ---saver.exe off mame.exe saver.exe on --- End code --- You can then create a Windows shortcut to your batch file.. or whatever When you work out your MaLa issue(s) please share (in the spirit of the hobby ;D ) |

Modern monitors can still get burn in. Even LCD monitors can. If you don't believe me, stop by Click's Gaming Center in West Des Moines, IA. I will show you a nice modern 17" LCD with screen burn in. I only use the power settings now, it turns off the monitor when there is no activity. It will make the monitor last much longer and is more sensitive to use of the system than the screen saver, so it may work better with the game pad. Jeff |

Sure. But it's not a real big problem anymore with monitors since the 90s. Everyone's "seen" a burned-in display, but no one can tell me for certain if these monitors were operated under normal conditions. For the home user, a bigger concern would be the life of the monitor itself and energy concerns (i.e. the bill). Which is why I agree with your second paragraph zelony, and is exactly what I do. |

Thanks loadman it works. Well sort of. The screensaver doesn't come on but the monitor still shuts off for that power saver setting. Can't win them all I guess. :dunno |
