Hello There,
I installed Porteus on a USB in my old laptop as the HDD died. As I had Windows 8 in that hdd, I used That 'Minecraft Plus' screensaver in it. So I wanted to know if I, somehow be able to us Screensavers in Porteus. :)

PS: I Installed the non-kiosk version.

You can try using Wine: https://sourceforge.net/projects/wine/f ... 0Packages/

If this screensaver was built in 32 bit and your Porteus is 64 bit, you'll also need multilib: Multilib x64 Lite -- for Wine 32 apps
