VBA-M not preventing screensaver from starting when using gamepad

I was just playing Pokemon Fire Red with VBA-M, using my Xbox Stype controller, and the screensaver kicked in.
Â
I don't remember this happening in VBA, or in previous versions of vba-m for that matter.
Â
Edit
Â
It seems to be related to "on resume, password protect" being enabled, strange, other apps have no problems with this. and it occurs across multiple system setups so its not a borked setup lol.

Why don't we make it, whenever VBA-M is running, we disable the screensaver, and then its resumed when VBA-M is exited? [img]<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/smile.png[/img]/emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I need to look up the API commands for screensaver handling though....

The note he edited in also complies with my system.
Â
So what would also be easy is if mudlord recalled what he changed in this build from the one directly before.

Â
they are also effected, only when on resume password protect is enabled.
Â
VBA disables power management, but it hasn't been updated for XP's password schemes.

Quite frankly I am shocked why this wasnt done in the first place.
Â
I now have the time to work more on VBA-M, so I intend to make some heavy SVN updates in the next few days.
Â
Which includes my screensaver patch.
