The NES Screen Saver emulates many NES games in real-time, rendering them to your screen as a "wall"
You can easily import a massive amount of high-quality content for your wall using the built-in movie gallery
Quickly download over 150 UberNES movie playback files that contain over 4 full days of high quality gaming
Every movie contains multiple "checkpoints" throughout the playback. For example, the Super Mario Brothers movies contain checkpoints at the start of each level.
Each game on your movie wall will start at a random checkpoint, giving you a ton of variety in what you see
The UberNES movies and their checkpoints provide a far superior experience compared to simply showing a bunch of title screens
All of this work is being done "on the fly" by heavily-optimized, performant code.
Because of this, you will need NES ROMs for the screen saver to work
Play
Jump in and play any game, at any point. Quit whenever you want
You are in control a cursor on the movie wall - simply use the arrow keys to move your cursor around.
If you see a game that looks fun, you can simply press a button to "jump in" and take over.
When you are done playing that particular game, simply press the button again and you are back in control of your game cursor
Explore
Navigate an "infinite wall" of games
If you move your cursor just beyond the edge of the game wall, the entire wall will scroll over, creating an infinite wall of games
Practically speaking, this is a great way to have the screen saver load in a bunch of new game scenarios at once!
