This is a MS Windows screen saver which runs MESS and MAME with available softwares/drivers on your machine.
When Retro Screen Saver runs :
- ESCAPE key exit from the screen saver
- BACKSPACE key stops Retro Screen Saver but leave the current MESS/MAME running
- PAUSE/BREAK key changes the software running
- Added "pcb" as a directory where RetroSS search for png files to display for MAME.
New in RetroSS 2.4.1 :
- Fixed the default MESS's bios path from "bios" to "roms"
New in RetroSS 2.4 :
- Displays a picture during splash screen. This picture is a PNG file located either in the cabinets, cpanel, flyers, marquees, titles MAME's directories, or in cabinets, cpanel, flyers, marquees, titles, pcb MESS's directories. Zip files containing PNG files are not supported yet. If no picture is found for the selected system or driver, the splash screen background stays black.
