Title: Minwah screensaver question
Post by: electricd on August 25, 2004, 10:50:34 pm
Hello,

I have minwah installed and its working great, except the screensaver option doesn't work for me.  I have it set to show screenshots after 5 minutes of inactivity, but after the 5 minutes, it just blanks the screen?  Am I missing something?  I don't have a "wrapper exe" or anything, is this something I need?

Side note: what I would really like is for a movie to play looping during the screensaver instead of the shots....specifically the arcade '84 movie.  Is this possible, anyone know?

NM.  First of all, I meant MameWah, and secondly I found a program that allows me to convert a .mov file to a .scr so now I just launch the external screensaver from mamewah.  Although it seems to want me to hit the ESC key to get out of it, and I would prefer to hit any button to exit.  Any ideas on this one?

If it is a try .SCR file you might be able to right click the physical file and configure it, obviously I don't know what configuration options are allowed with that particular .SCR, but it is worth a shot.

1) I have it set to show screenshots after 5 minutes of inactivity, but after the 5 minutes, it just blanks the screen?  Am I missing something?  I don't have a "wrapper exe" or anything, is this something I need?

1) What screensaver do you want?  If you are getting a blank screen, it either means you have it set the 'Blank Screen' (!), or something is wrong causing it to default to blank screen.

2) Next release this will be possible ;)
