Maybe this only applies to Windows, but most of the other emulators are able to automatically disable the screen saver while running fullscreen. It's definitely annoying when it cuts out in the middle of a run and I have to grab the mouse. Any chance we could get this in GENS?

I second that. Annoying screensavers.

Disable screensavers using The Magic of the Right Mouse Button®! Right click in desktop, select preferences, click on "screensaver" on the screen that now appeared. Click the list, scroll up until you find "none." click. Click ok. No need for screen-saving-disabled-emulators with the power of The Magic of the Right Mouse Button®! I didn't expect anyone to use screensavers?

I use screensavers so people won't see what I'm doing with my computer when I walk away from it!

I use the SETI@home screensaver so my processing power doesn't go to waste when I'm not around. Even if you don't have a screensaver, you probably have the monitor power down eventually. Of course you can change the settings manually, but that's annoying when the application should be able to do it automatically as most full-screen video programs can.
