Is it possible to add a screensaver to the menu

Post by annoyedfather »

HI there, my son showed me this forum. My son has recently added this software to his Wii, no doubt it is a fantastic bit of software. He was watching a show using your program, he left the Wii on with the menu screen on for quite a few hours and it burnt an image of the menu on the tv-screen. I encourage him to do what ever he wants but this now cost me a new tv. Is there anyway either myself or you can add a screen saver to the menu to ensure this won't be a problem again.

"Screensaver" is out of the question, because nobody wants to have to disable screensaver every time they watch something.

Menu auto-off is possible and might be implemented in future. Still, it will not be 100% safe, as you will still get screen burns if you leave and forget while viewing an image with very bright parts.
Fartersoft minus the soft part.
