Sdentau92 Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Hi, I made this script to start DeSmuMe (Stand-alone. Not RetroArch) in fullscreen automatically. These are the steps for using the script: 1) Extract the attached file "desmume.zip" in the folder where you have the executable of the emulator. 2) Open "desmume.vbs" with a text editor and replace "DeSmuME_0.9.11_x86.exe" with your executable file name. Save the file "desmume.vbs" 3) On launchbox go to Tools / Manage Emulators, select your DeSmuMe emulator and click Edit. 4) In "Emulator Application Path" select "desmume.vbs" file (Filter All Files in Browse) instead of the emulator executable. In "Default command-line parameters" enter "/rompath:" Check the option "No space before ROM" Click ok 4) Play Little Red Riding Hood's Zombie BBQ (If you bought it ) I'm a noob in vbscript, if you know an easier way to solve this problem, tips are welcome. (Sorry for bad Great Britainnnish) desmume.zip 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Carr Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 Thanks for this @Sdentau92. You might get some more traffic and some better exposure if you'd be willing to upload this to the Downloads section. You can put it in the third-party apps and plugins category.

Lordmonkus Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 Cool, but have they implemented an option to use the right analog stick on a controller as a stylus like the Retroarch core ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if there is this option but stand alone version in general its better in my computers. Retroarch version in my desktop crash when I load roms and in my notebook framerate its lower compared to the stand alone version, so I did this script to contain my rage. They have angered the wrong Sardinian... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 Yeah the Retroarch version is slower and even on my main gaming rig it can chug a bit without some tweaking. Though once I did so some tweaks it is running fine with a slight upscale and a shader. It suits my needs since I don't really play much DS. Handhelds just don't scale very well to a larger screen and the DS is made more awkward with the stylus emulation, though using the mouse isn't that bad but it is a bit awkward taking your hand off the controller for the mouse.

Zeromod Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 (edited) I can't do fullscreen, looks horrible to me. I run all of my handhelds in a bezel after being scaled down a bit. NDS in particular I run standalone as RA Core is a bit more buggy and I use the Launchbox/RocketLauncher marriage to run this pretty bezel here.http://imgur.com/a/yuYxa Edit: @lordmonkus Do you have controller companion? I use that for various automation needs, it also doubles as a mouse via controller when I'm playing NDS Edited August 20, 2016 by Zeromod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 I can't comment on the bugginess compared to the stand alone, I don't really play many DS games to compare. Playing fullscreen at 2x resolution with a shader gives a look that actually doesn't look all that bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crush Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 I setup this Autohotkey script with Launchbox to get DESMUME (not Retroarch) to run fullscreen: WinWaitActive, DeSmuME Send !{Enter} The script waits for a window including "DeSmuME" in the title to become active and then sends ALT+ENTER for fullscreen. I have setup Desmume to "Always stay on top" and in desmume.ini i added Show=0 under the Console section to hide the console. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aniway the new version of desmume core in retroarch for me works very well as the standalone version. Try it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freestate Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 (edited) Official desmume and the retroarch core is worse than the X432R version on high resolutions. Retroarch core is only cpu emulated, the gpu don't give extra speed. Edited September 26, 2017 by Freestate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sdentau92 Posted September 27, 2017 Author Share Posted September 27, 2017 Wow cool! I didn't know the X432R version. So my script maybe have some troubles with that version. I have to try it Did you change the script with the name of your emulator exe file? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sdentau92 Posted September 27, 2017 Author Share Posted September 27, 2017 I tried X432R version. For me it's better only for Dragon Ball Kai: Ultimate Butouden that in retroarch core have graphics glitches. For other games that I tested, retroarch core it's faster and with better screen layout options and all the others great features of retroarch. At 3x resolution frame rate it's not full speed both on retroarch and stand alone version. It's better to set at 2x So in launchbox i think it's better to set retroarch as default NDS Emulator now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sdentau92 Posted September 27, 2017 Author Share Posted September 27, 2017 Ah! I forgot to say that for me DesMume X432R version go fullscreen automatically without my script. It works but I think you don't need it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freestate Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 and also you could simply add this to the autohotkey section. compare and choose what you like Autohotkey script WinWaitActive , DeSmuME ; Send !{Enter} 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
