I had an article about UberNES’ Nintendo Screen Saver bookmarked for a while, but I finally got it fully working a few days ago.
What is it? A screensaver that plays Nintendo games. Multiple ones at once. You can download videos (don’t worry they’re small) of others players’ play sessions and it’s like you’re 8 and watching your friends play again. Like most good software in life, Windows only.
It’s not so hard to setup:
- Get NES roms (try Torrent)
- Get the Screensaver: http://ubernes.com/nesscreensaver.html
- Install and set up rom DB (read the documentation)
- Watch Nintendo games being played galore- you can even jump in to any game and pick it up while it’s happening!
- Geek out. (Screenshot of my own shown below)
Features
- Completely stand-alone; you do not need to have UberNES in order to run the Nintendo Screen Saver
- Don’t have any UberNES movies to play? No problem – the screen saver has built-in support for downloading and playing movies from the UberNES online movie gallery!
- Currently, the UberNES online movie gallery contains over 100 movies that provide over two full days of unique NES gameplay footage.
- Multiple movies can be played at once and tiled over the screen to create a "wall of NES games" effect
- Users can press the space bar to take over for a movie and start playing the game themselves using a keyboard/joypad/etc.
- Movie checkpoints are utilized to begin playing movies from various key points in movies, rather than just playing each movie from the beginning every time.
- Screen saver is highly configurable – the following settings can be adjusted:
- Length of time each movie is played before advancing to new one
- Sound on/off
- Information scrolled along bottom of NES display
- Extensive video options are included
