demosaver

Unfortunately I no longer have the time or resources to provide any support or updates to demosaver.

about

demosaver lets you run pc demos as screensavers. not all demos will work, so ymmv.

released under the bsd license.

demosaver is no longer available for download

demos, demos, demos ..

demosaver includes a single demo (farb-rausch's fr-019: poem to a horse).

you'll have to download more demos to make full use of demosaver.

any program that exits when you press escape can be used.
