NES Screensaver Allows You To Jump Into Multiple Games In Progress
M \ K Productions' NES Screensaver does more than just display an NES game's demo mode (and movies recorded with the group's UberNES emulator) on your screen whenever you stop working on your computer; you can actually tile dozens of games across your screen to watch them all play at the same time.
The video above shows 60 games running across two screens (audio is streamed from an "active" movie, which you can change with the arrow keys). What makes the screensaver really great, though, is that you can click any of the running UberNES videos to take over the game. It's a lot like how OnLive lets you jump into in-progress games, but with locally hosted NES titles!:

The big question is, has it got SMB 3?

I love this screen saver but i can't seem to get more than two games showing at one time?

Great idea, but on my C2D E6600 with 2 GB of RAM, it plays really choppy no matter what I do.
Sound off gives it about 80% speed, but...no chance to play anything near as many as shown in that video. Tried all the options, I think.
