Lilypad already has an option for this. Invalid

But I'm using "SSSPSX PAD Plugin Pressure Mod 1.7.0", not Lilypad

This sort of setting has a global scope and should be part of the main emulator 
core,
not part of an optional plugin which disables the feature when using a different
controller plugin.

Extract from Lilypad src
Its simple enough to add to the main game window message handler.

case WM_SYSCOMMAND:
    if ((wParam == SC_SCREENSAVE || wParam == SC_MONITORPOWER) && config.disableScreenSaver)
        return 0;
    break;

Well since it's easy enough, make a patch and submit it. There is a reason this 
was
implemented in a plugin and afaik that was because the core of PCSX2 couldn't 
do it.

How come it couldn't do it?
I only took a quick peek at the code

hmm i see, WM_SYSCOMMAND messages are only sent to the active window
that being the one rendering the graphics during gameplay

i was hoping to hook it into the main app frame and get it working through 
that, but
i see it isnt so easy anymore.
