Title: Lazarus Screen Saver Help
Post by: rgardjr on October 15, 2002, 06:59:03 pm
Well I made a playlist and named it default.m3u and saved it to both my c:\mame directory and to c:\mame\lazarus (directory that I installed lazarus in), but I'm not getting any music when my screensaver kicks in.  Double clicking on the default.m3u file in explorer launches windows media player and starts playing the list, but it's not working in Lazarus.  I looked in the lazarus.ini and dirs.ini  Do I need to create an ini file in the cfgs directory to get this working?
Thanks-
Rick

Hey, how does your screensaver work?  Does it stay in the lazarus dir?  or does windows put it in system32?  If not, then it would be nice for hte screensaver to only show games in the lists.

I stays in the lazarus dir.  

Why only games in the list?  

More artwork=more purdy

Granted, b00bz are pretty.  If oyu get snap packs oyou get everything!  If you filter out mature in your lists you should filter out mature in the screensaver.  And mahjong!  bluh.  My friends like the screensaver though.  I;ll have to run that 80 minute arcade ambient on it too:)

Yeah I will filter out mature stuff by default next time around.  Although lilwolf will probably cry himself to sleep. ;)

I will probably make a 3d screensaver for it too.
