*UPDATE* XMB Wave Screensaver for Windows v0.95 and v0.96 |
Ó
agentorange has just tipped us off on his latest update for the XMB Wave Screensaver for Windows application he released just yesterday. As we mentioned earlier, this isn't really a homebrew app for the PSP, but because it mimics the handheld's XMB, we thought we should inform you guys about it too.And based on your responses, it seems a lot of you were really interested and even in awe of agentorange's app! So...he decided to work hard on fixing all the bugs you reported and bring you this updated release.
As for those who are asking whether their Macs will be seeing this screensaver too, here's what agentorange had to say: "Mac or Linux version won't happen any time soon, as this is DirectX dependant (for now). Sorry!" Also, he says he's still trying to figure out how to get this running with the desktop in the background.
So while we wait for that, why don't you update the one you have running on your PC's and get the following fixes and additions:
v0.95:
- Probably fixed flickering on startup
- Problems with hiding Mouse Cursor fixed
- Added Control Panel
- Color selection, Custom colors
- Frequency of Colorchange, Background Options
- Wave Speed, Wave Height
- Fixed Several smaller Bugs
- Fixed Bug concerning Multi-Monitors / Widescreens
- Fixed Timing Errors

Update: According to agentorange: "Version 0.95 had a bug preventing it to run on Windows XP only showing a white screen / flickering. This has (hopefully) been fixed in v0.96! Thanks for your feedback and please tell me if you encounter any more bugs!"

I can't wait to try it out. Hopefully we will see more releases for this in the future.
...the last version worked, this one is jus turning my screen grey and making my desktop a darker shade when it returns.
learn how to code a simple screen saver. install & test both turn the screen grey and then fade the rest of the screen to a darker color, just like the guy above me posted. test your apps before posting them, qj
its just turning my destop grey. idk. thanks for the effort ill keep using the first release you made. its awesome i have dual 20 inch monitors and one is running my ps3 so it looks like ps3 dual screen.. sick!!! keep up the good work!!!! you think you can make one for like active desktop. i also put my taskbar auto hide , it enhances the effect.
The first version worked but this one only shows a silver screen until you move your mouse. Then I just see a colored background with waves that don't move. Somehow they are interfereing with the other pages. Hope you get it fixed soon!
I am using this in Vista and it works perfectly. In the screen shot he is using vista also i am wondering if its the version of direct x everyone is using that is causing the problems.
Not working, here's what I'm running: XP MCE, 1920x1200, 32-bit, LCD. The screen turns gray and when returning it shows the waves "left over" until I refresh the screen. Still, thanks for your work, looking forward to the fixed release :)
Im running Windows XP SP2 and been updated recently...this doesnt work for me. It gives me a grey/tan screen, then when it goes back from the screensaver i can see one of the wave image thing...but it frees there and covers your destop...glitch...btw in vista, could u see it transparent? I have vista but it lags on my computer..not enough ram so i havent tested it out.
o yea...the last version worked for me.
Thats different than whats happening to me. Mine gets to the wave then flickers from the color of the screen saver and white for some reason. It also "paints" my Start bar whatever color it was before I got out of the screen saver. I think I'll stick with the beta one for now...
Same as above, grey screen, shows lines on resume until you hover over something that causes the screen to change. XP MCE 2004 SP2 fully updated, 1440x900
same problem here NOT working it flickers even on my pentium 4 extreme something wrong, but yes last version works grate.
mine isnt working either. it will flicker and when i move the mouse it stays there until i open large window to cover it.
it only works with vista i think not shure, but other comp is xp and it doesn't work. works fine on vista tho
yea i get the gray screen too, bummer i loved this screen saver now i have to find the old version which worked
not working here, but it's a white screen instead of grey. When i quit (mouse mouse or esc) the waves appear for a second, then go away.
Unlike everyone else, this version does work for me, and I am on XP. The last version did not work properly with my dual monitors, but this one does. This version, however, is really laggy, I'm getting about 10 FPS, and I'm running a 7900GTX, this shouldn't be a problem. I'm sure the kinks will get worked out though, and this will turn into my main screen saver =). Good Job.
I just get a white screen and it doesn't do anything... when i move my mouse... it goes to the screen saver kinda thingy but the wave doesn't move... and my whole desktop is painted with that particular colour...
Yep, not working here, either. XP Pro, Sempy 3k+, FX5200.
Hi Guys, i'm really sorry to hear that it doesn't work for most of you. The problem is, as Daniel guessed: This version only works fine on Windows Vista. My main box is on Vista right now, and thats where i develop & test this app. Sorry but windows XP support is added ASAP. please bear with me while i try to figure out why this doesnt work on XP !
same as everyone else with issues, grey screen, then colored desktop when moving mouse. I am on windows XP 64 bit edition.
Damn, i was excited to try this version, but when it starts up, it paints the whole screen white and when I move the mouse or press a button, it returns with the wave and the color overlayed over my workspace.. :( Hope this gets fixed, in XP btw. The previous version still works just great!
hey AO, can u provide dl links for 0.9? 95 dont work, i serach and found beta 1. i wanted to fine tune it a bit tho with the features mentioned for 0.9 so if u could post it... hat would be sweet
Here is the previous version that worked for me http://dl.qj.net/General-Tools-Utilities/pg/12/fid/13026/catid/193
much improved with changeable saturation and transaparency i like it
I have released v0.96 over at the Forums... this should fix windows xp compatibility problems: http://forums.qj.net/f-hardsoftware-and-windows-discussion-15/t-release-xmb-wave-screensaver-for-windows-98028.html thanks for using^^!
I've just downloaded v0.96 and it does the exact same thing as v0.95 did for me. Grey screen and an error message. “Failed to initialize Asphyre device!” “Access violation at address 004843A8 in module ‘WAVE_B~1.SCR’. Read of address 00000000.” Anyone know how to resolve this in the new version? I'm running XPSP2
Nice, For The People With Windows 98/XP Window Vista Has This Already In The Program Windows Media Player Has THis Wave... Thanks anways

I love you man! you must've seen my comment before, cuz u added every single thing i asked for into the options!!! :D :D
Has anyone noticed that the speed is not working? Every time you change it, it resets after clicking OK.
Nevermind. It's fixed in .97
(i know its been a long day already with 4 updates -_-) v0.98 + Several new compatibility options: lower resolutions for everybody getting "asphyre device error") + Multi monitor spanning (for those rich guys^^) + Reset values to default option + Some minor bugfixes download as always: http://www.orangeagent.de/psp or QJ Forum
Thanks for your hard work on the screensaver. Its one of the best I've seen in a while. I'll test the latest version and post back. Appreciate it.
by far the best screensaver available for windows. congrats for your hard work!
Probably the only program I've seen with 4 releases in one day, but that's just fine by me. Thanks for the hard work. It really gives my pc the "lava lamp" cool factor.
Awesome, thanks for fixing multi-monitor support. It looks much better on my office setup now :) Psilocybeing
Now the .96 version of this works on windows xp. I just tried it and it is much improved since the first version. The only thing I wish is that it was a desktop background, but your working on that. I hope you get it working as a moving desktop background.
Computer with Windows xp sp2 shut down and restart on its own after 15 to 20 minutes of inactiactivity after installing xmb-wave screen saver.
