Title: How do you get the screensaver to work in version 7.5?
Post by: serpent213 on November 16, 2019, 05:17:31 PM

I hit left shift on my keyboard and i see a section at the bottom for screensaver. I have it set to slideshow. I wait the 30 seconds like i have it set for, but the screensaver never starts.  When i go to Runway and click Extra or Miscellaneous, there is nothing in there that mentions screensaver like version 6.3 had.

You'll enter the screensaver mode after 30sec of total key and mouse "silence". Don't touch your mouse and keys.. and you should see it starting

I took my dog for a walk for 15 mins and the screensaver still never started. I only tried it for MAME, I will try it on some of my console emulators to see if it does the same thing.

My normal windows screensaver works with no issues. I went through multiple emulators in Mgalaxy and still no luck on getting the screensaver to work. I see that version 6.3 had a file called "mGalaxy_Screensaver.exe" in it and this version doesn't have it. Is there a particular file in my Mgalaxy folder that should run the screensaver for version 7.5?

The screensaver is now part of mGalaxy itself.
Forgive my question...but did you set the "Start after" setting to something else than "Never"? ;)

Yes, I have it set to 30 secs and it never starts. I uninstalled and re-downloaded and re-installed and still no luck. I switch back to version 6.3 and it still works normally.

To the other people out there....am I the only one with this problem?  Is there some way to set up the screensaver that i'm missing? I've re-installed many times with no luck.
