Can there be a screensaver option where on the main menu, or if the OSD is on and no inputs are registered after a time a screensaver mode could be activated to protect our precious CRTs?

You can control the time the OSD is up when idling with:
Code: Select all
osd_timeout=30 ; 5-3600 timeout (in seconds) for OSD to disappear in Menu core. 0 - never timeout.
...inside Mister.ini. As for a proper screensaver, you might either have the default 'CRT static' as your background (by cycling with F1), or maybe take a look at the
Super Attract Mode script as an alternative.
[Edit] As an extra precaution against burn-in, you can also turn the
MiSTer logo off by setting:
Code: Select all
; 0 - disable MiSTer logo in Menu core
logo=0

You can also use Super Attract Mode as your screensaver.

Edit: Sorry just saw lamarax pointed that out already
