Samoa Posted September 7, 2003 Share Posted September 7, 2003 Installed DX9 today, a little behind I know, but now it looks great. Before is sucked big time. I didn't see improvement at first so I didn't install DX9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ryan Posted September 17, 2003 Share Posted September 17, 2003 This is awesome! :D Where can I find other Windows ports of other Apple Mac screensavers? :yes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nomis_nehc Posted October 6, 2003 Share Posted October 6, 2003 Hey, everyone try this out with vital desktop: http://www.vital-desktop.com/download.phpRuns great as my background and doesn't even touch the processor. Plus, the fade away effect makes it *really* cool :D I am not sure... but it really lags on my system. And I do have one monster machine, imo.

andrewdoolittle Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 I've spent the last two days searching forums on a solution to this lag/choppy display problem. Indeed, the flurry screensaver works in preview mode, but it does not work in test or after my 15 minute idle time. I've tried three different types of the screensaver; I have tried several ways of renaming .sCr; and several ways of installing through the /Windows/System 32 folder and right-click>install I have also tried updating my driver. Nothing has worked and I'm so hopeless on this screen saver. Here is my system info: Vista Home Premium SP1 Intel Core 2 Duo 1.83 GHz 3 GB RAM 32-bit OS x3100 Intel Graphics Media Accelerator Mobile Intel? GM965 Express Chipset Thank you.

+Mystic MVC Posted July 4, 2008 MVC Share Posted July 4, 2008 I don't know how I didn't find out about this earlier, but this is the sweetest screen saver ever! Thanks so much. P.S. In my options with the screen saver, I found Psychedelic the best. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redvamp128 Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 I think I remember this thread... and I think I ran it for the longest time-- Think I have the zip file of it... It ran fine on the video card I had at the time- Radeon 7000 and Ran even better on the Radeon 9000 I had= Though you have to have a good Open GL driver to run it. Or it will crash.

ANova Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 x3100 Intel Graphics Media Accelerator There's your problem. You need a decent video card to run it, integrated is too slow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+mrbester MVC Posted July 4, 2008 MVC Share Posted July 4, 2008 (edited) There's your problem. You need a decent video card to run it, integrated is too slow. Fair enough in 2003, but 5 years later? With all the advances in chipsets there have been in that time? It must have run like a sloth in jam back then unless you had some serious horsepower for it to still run like a sloth in jam in 2008. andrewdoolittle: What does the Windows Experience Index give you for your graphics? Edit: my naff integrated graphics Celery runs it fine, apart from erroring if I set anything other than single-buffer in the options...

Dick Montage Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 I can verify that this DOES run just fine on integrated graphics. My last laptop's integrated graphics chip was substantially less powerful than an x3100 GMA, and it still ran fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hornett Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 There's your problem. You need a decent video card to run it, integrated is too slow. Several current-model Macs use the X3100 card and are more than capable of running this (in Windows and OSX). In fact the lesser GMA900 card used in the last generation of Macbooks runs it perfectly as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ViperAFK Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 Yeah there is no way x3100 is too weak for a screensaver like that, the problem must lie else ware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_dandy_ Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 i wonder if this thing is legal LOL "Legal"? Why? 'cuz now that it's been ported to Windows, it removes the only reason you'd want to use a Mac? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferret Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 Very nice screensaver - Runs great on my PC. But i've tried it on my laptop (which I use the most) and i'm getting about 1FPS :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsupersonic Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 It ran pretty ****ty on my integrated ATI X200M, but ATI isn't all that great for OpenGL, and to top that, my graphics card is integrated. However, the ATI x200M is a pretty beastly integrated card Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a computer with a 845G that runs flurry like a slideshow and any other integrated chipset that I've seen has done the same though I haven't spent any time with the newer ones. If the 3100 is fast enough than it must be a driver problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iconoclast Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 Didn't realize how old this was, but neat. Is it pixelated on anyone elses comp? Maybe 1680*1050 is too big for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kylejn Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 Jesus, a five year bump? Anyway, the only thing I can think of is that a screensaver written so long ago might have compatibility problems with Vista, but who knows? Could be a graphics issue or any number of other problems.

see-seA Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 I'm smiling at how everyone has only just found out about this screensaver. This is probably one of the best screensavers I've ever use, and I've been using it since it came out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
