Title: Arcade game Screen saver?
Post by: Ghoward on October 16, 2003, 06:20:40 pm

Does anyone know where I might be able to get a good arcade screen saver for my cab?

Thanks

Gary

This thread might belong in the software forum, where there have been a few similar threads.
I haven't done any of this yet but I'm looking into screen saver possibilities for my cab too:

Some people have been running some kind of active media video player that runs a a screen saver, and you can download videos of the "attract" sequence of the games, or any other videos like http://www.cinemarcade.com/arcade84.html (http://www.cinemarcade.com/arcade84.html).

Also check out http://www.oscarcontrols.com/lazarus/ (http://www.oscarcontrols.com/lazarus/), I haven't tried it either but it's supposed to run actual games in your emulator from the screen saver.

Check out emusaver.  It is very cool.  It cycles through MAME games randomly.  

Papaschtroumpf gave the address to it allready

Thanks for the clarification, I forgot to give the name of the program to download from the Lazarus page.

Can anyone point me to the screensaver that will play avis/Mpegs?
Thanks
