Please please please update for Snow Leopard (10.6). This was my favorite screensaver on the Mac. I loved how the matrix code would switch to outline the current album art from iTunes. I'm on Snow Leopard and can't use it and the URL listed as a potential Snow Leopard (http://s.sudre.free.fr/Software/matrixgl.html) is an older version (2.0). Please update for 10.6!!!

My favorite Matrix screen saver. I do wish it was available in 64-bit though, I can't run it on my new i7 MacBook Pro.

Version 2.2 Beta 3

Very nice GFX with a 'all you could possibly want' interface. Rendering is also pretty good. Guaranteed to put a smile on your face.

Be sure to let us know as I try and check this page just on the off chance the DEVs have updated it for Snow Leopard. Keeping my fingers crossed you get the source code dude. Good luck!

No word yet on a Snow Leopard release of this. I've emailed the people who wrote it, several times now, but they never even acknowledge my message! I would happily rebuild it for Snow Leopard, I just need the source code. Hell I liked this screen saver so much, I'd pay $10 to have it back. I'll post something here if this awesome screen saver ever returns to Snow Leopard.

Version 2.2 Beta 3

This was my favorite screensaver... please please do the tweaks necessary for Snow Leopard... We would all appreciate it.. A LOT!! could someone reply to my comment if they actually do so.. that way i get an email instead of checking the website every couple of weeks.. ugh..

I couldn't agree more. This screensaver is THE BEST MATRIX SCREENSAVER AVAILABLE. I still have it at work since we haven't upgraded to snow leopard yet but I'm missing it sorely at home. PLEASE UPDATE IT!

Version 2.2 Beta 3

Couldn't get to load in 10.6. Tried it on an upgrade and on a clean install, and it will not load manually or automatically. However, worked great in 10.5 - it was (and will be again) my favorite screen saver.
