    Help with Desktop Resolution when exiting emulator

    I would  bet your resolution and refresh rate is instead being changed when you boot into the game, rather than on exit. Open Retroarch Quick Menu when in game and navigate to Settings > Video > Output > Screen Resolution to see what it is and change accordingly. You can take a look before booting and after exiting game too for having a direct comparison of what changed and when.

    It's possible the game or core has those settings defined and is doing what is expected. If this is the case you just need to change the setting and then make sure it is saved if you don't have the automatic save on exit function enabled

    So basically first asking you to confirm your res/refresh rate are being changed to something else for one reason or another that is unexplained. If everything is in order settings wise but you still have problems, then it makes sense to resort to using a script. Which I've included here should you need it. You may need to alter it accordingly for it to function as needed. This is an example that will change into 4K 60Hz when the game/emulator exits.

      

    WinWait, ahk_exe retroarch.exe			;wait for Retroarch to exist
WinWaitClose, ahk_exe retroarch.exe		;wait for Retroarch to exit
ChangeDisplaySettings(32, 3840, 2160, 60)	;color bitrate, horizontal resolution, vertical resolution, refresh rate - adjust resolution and refresh rate as needed

;Don't change anything below here
ChangeDisplaySettings(cD, sW, sH, rR) 
{
	VarSetCapacity(dM,156,0), NumPut(156,2,&dM,36)
	DllCall("EnumDisplaySettingsA", UInt,0, UInt,-1, UInt,&dM), NumPut(0x5c0000,dM,40)
	NumPut(cD,dM,104), NumPut(sW,dM,108), NumPut(sH,dM,112), NumPut(rR,dM,120)
	Return DllCall("ChangeDisplaySettingsA", UInt,&dM, UInt,0)
}

     

    I didnt even have to tweak it. worked perfectly since that was my default settings you had in script. Thanks!

    Sorry if this has been answerd. I found a couple threads about ahks etc but couldn't successfully fix my issue.  All my systems are working well right now except for one issue i have with Atari 5200 system, which i run thru Retroarch.  It loads and plays games fine but when i exit out of emulator my Desktop has switched from 4K to 1440 and also has switched from 60Hz to 30HZ.  I have to mnanually change back every time after launching that system. Im hoping to find the easiest solution so this doesnt happen every time i exit atari 5200 game. 

    Help with Platform Video

    in Troubleshooting

    I added some retro style Television Shows to my build and i Dont want a separate Video for each Episode (Game)..... I would like one Video to play in background for all games. I  tried pointing multiple games to the same video but Launchbox would rename the file and i could only get the video to play for 1 game.  I am trying to determine if this is possible?

    It's a waste of space (but storage is plentiful these days), both Windows and Mac OS have autostart folders to automatically start applications.

    Im starting to look into this now. Have an Old Mac on some emulator i forget name of and a good windows 3.1 and windows 95 on PCEM.. currently just running PCEM and Basilisk directly from launchbox but would be wild to be able to launch the games somehow. 

    Big Box multiple manuals?

    in Pause Themes

    i checked on this year back and i don't think you could do it yet?  But curious if you can house multiple manuals or Game Guides, Maps etc as PDFs within Big Box. Currently it appears i can still only accomodate 1 manual per game?

    BigBox Start up issue

    in Troubleshooting

    Posted

    I have a really strange issue I cant determine what is causing it and it just started recently.  I can only run Bigbox if I launch it from within Launchbox.  Whenever i try to run solely BigBox (The logo comes up and mouse icon just spins infinitely)  Sort of annoying me since i eventually want to have it boot straight to Big Box
