Hi guys, i would like to make a screen saver (for windows) which launch amiga demos with winuae.

Maybe poll machine state using method Hannibal is using in this thread. Maybe you can them kill the process tree on detection, or send message to uae via same mechanism?

Report back if you work it out, I think there would be demand for knowledge of how to do this sort of thing (as indicated by you and Hannibal and my own curiosity).

AutoHotkey or similar?

Toni, is it possible to assign a winuae quitkey to the mouse (horizontal) ?
It's easy to do with the keyboard but i can't do it with the mouse ?
Thank both of you for your help and suggestions.
(finally i used a screensaver which launch videos, i did videos from my winuae demos but even if it shuffle at start (he choose a random video), it loops the video after that and this is not what i wanted, i hoped it to display the demos one after the other and not always the same in loop.
