Screensaver only for gameex?

[helpman]

Hi there!

This can be something as easy as changing some option on the setup, but I can't find it.

I would like to set a game on gameex, then keep it running. But if I set a game to run I don't want screensaver to popup or game to go back to gameex.

Is there any way I could set the screensaver to run when I'm on gameex menu, but not when a game is launched? (and despite time being in the game without user input, don't go back to gameex)?

Hello!

I'm not 100% sure what you are asking, but I will do my best to answer your question (If I'm wrong, I apologize...please correct me lol)

Are you talking about GameEx Screensaver?...or Windows Screensaver? (GameEx Screensaver shouldn't come on when a game is launched...I don't think.) The way I have my cab set up, Windows screensaver is always off, and the power options are disabled (computer and monitor never automatically turns off or goes into sleep mode).

Then in GameEx Setup Wizard, under "Attract Mode" (going through custom setup) I have it set up for GameEx to go into attract mode after 4 minutes of inactivity. Also, (and the "bread and butter" of what I think your asking) there should be an option in "Enable or disable features", or the one after that (I can't remember the name, but they are the last two options of the Custom Setup in the Setup Wizard...or it may even be in the advance emulator setup, can't remember)...there is an option that has GameEx exit out of the emulator after so long of inactivity....make sure that option is disabled.

My cab is somewhat setup like that, and after a game is launched, that game will stay on and never exit out unless someone hits the exit button...it will even stay up for days or even weeks lol.

I hope this helps any!

Maybe I have that option to autoexit the game enabled... I'll check it out

Finally I was able to get some cheap coin selectors to complete my arcade cabinet, and I want to set a game for my friends and family whenever they come home Something like the game of the day

(and avoid them messing with the GUI LOL.... just play one game and compete for the highscores )

EDITED: Done! Thanks for the tips I had the exit on inactivity enabled, so after some while the emulator was shut down, back to gameex and then the screensaver was launched
