Windows ScreenSaver Goes On While Using A Game Controller

Loadman. I read you quick answer to the screensaver problem and want to ask for your help (if dont bothers you) with a little program i'm doing for closing emulators using a gamepad. I post about it here

I think it could be useful (and could incorporate the code for turning screensaver off too ;D as well as proper credits)

About the batch file, it will works on MAME because is a console app, but if you use other emulators (let say VirtuaNes.exe for running NES/Famicom games) that is a windowed app it will turn off ss, run the appication and turn the ss on again immediately. You have to use the windowed version or have two batch files, one for turning off ss and other for turning it on.

Why not use Joy2Key to emulate a press of ALT+F4?

Because programming (and sometimes reinventing the wheel) is fun!!!  ;D

About joy2key, there is a newer version than  3.7.4 wich i believe is 2002/2003?

If programming is fun, why are you asking someone else to do it?   ;D

I'm sorry, not trying to be mean.  Again, just practical.
