Hikaru Fullscreen Addon

[Vlansix]

@Maddoc1007 Thanks for the feedback :). Always good to hear that things are working as intended, and nothing's caught fire yet :D.

[Maddoc1007]

@Vlansix Your welcome and you LaunchBox Cursor Changer v2 works brilliantly as well.  On another note welcome to the LaunchBox Team i know you'll do great things as shows in the 2 app you already created KUDOS.

Hello, the utility seems to be compiled in 64 bits, could it be compiled it 32 bits? Thanks

This program is not working for me. Well I should say not very well. I've tried trying for hours to get a script to work with this + Demul + Demulshooter.  Here is my script

 

run, HikaruFullscreen.exe
run, DemulShooter.exe -target=demul07a -rom=braveff
run, demul.exe -run=hikaru -rom="braveff"

 

I have also just tried running HIkaruFullscreen.exe then demul, but the game launches in a small box not full screen. I got it to work once but I'm not sure what I did to make it work that I can't replicate.

@Vlansix Just downloaded and tried this.  This is working very well and making hikaru go into fullscreen all we need now is that it closes its process when we click on escape on the keyboard and it will be an excellent addition as is something that no one has seemed to be able to create a very very well deserved KUDOS and many many thanks to you.

@Vlansix 

Just use this AHK script in the "running AHK script section" tab under your emulator options in LaunchBox.

; This section closes Demul when pressing Escape
MButton::
{
    Send !{F4}
}
 

Take note that I use the MButton to close out of the emulator because I have an X-Arcade Tankstick. If you want to use the escape button then just replace MButton with $Esc.

; This section closes Demul when pressing Escape
$Esc::
{
    Send !{F4}
}
 

Hope this helps!

I tried running the HikaruFullScreen.exe, then when I launch the game via LB, the game tries to start then seems to crash.  The HikaruFullScreen.exe process also gets terminated.  Any ideas?

[Denys06]

I am in the same situation as you by having put this line of code for the parameterization.

Can someone help me by telling me how to properly define this line of code to run HikaruFullscreen.exe ?

I don't use the Demul emulator, but the 1st post says to "add it as an additional application that loads before or after your hikaru game and it will make it go fullscreen on load."  So you may try it there instead of the Running Script section.

 

But since all it's essentially doing is pressing Alt+Enter when the window is active, you could try a Running Script like:

Loop
{
  ifwinactive, ahk_exe demul.exe
  {
    send !{Enter}
    break
  }
}

; This section closes Demul when pressing Escape
$Esc::
{
    Send !{F4}
}

...and not use the HikaruFullscreen.exe program at all.

I'd be curious to if this works.  

[Denys06]

I have put the code you gave me thank you very much.

I haven't been able to test it yet because the full screen only happens when a game is loaded and I'm still stuck on it... But I'm trying to find a solution to my automatic launch of games from launchbox thanks to this subject. As soon as I have a solution I will confirm if your script works. Thanks a lot.

@JoeViking245 What you propose would work. I do something similar instead of using an additional app. I just created a Demul Hikaru emulator (second instance of Demul since the AHK would affect the other platforms) in LB and pointed to the original demul.exe I use for other arcades. Then use the Running AHK to send Alt+Enter. Works like a charm and never have to worry about an additional app maybe not working one day with LB.

I was just re-reading/remembering that, that is the way to go.  

@Denys06  You might want to read through this post.  It's 6 pages and a couple years old, but holds a lot of good info about an emulator that itself hasn't been updated in a while.

 

[Denys06]

Yes I've read everything and I know that Demul is out of date, but in fact I'm just trying to get the 2 games Atomiswave ATV Track and Smashing Drive working which can't start with Retroarch

The games work but I can't launch them from Launchbox.

[Denys06]

Thank you once again @JoeViking245 for your precise help in the other subject.
Now I put your code but it does not start the game in full screen. Also my game is hidden behind Launchbox 😅

I have also just tested with the {Alt}{Enter} code but it does not change anything. Do you have any idea what to do please ?

Just a guess for a potential solution, from your screenshot above, go to the Startup Screen section and turn off the startup screen. (Uncheck the box.)

[Denys06]

I did but the window does not expand.

The window is not selected at the start as you can see.

Then when I select it it turns blue.

Could the problem come from there?

Also I have to press the ALT+ENTER keys to put it in full screen, should I change your code to {Alt}{Enter} or leave only {Enter} ? Thx

Try this script:

WinWait, gpuDX11oldhw
Sleep 1000
Send !{Enter}

$Esc::
{
WinClose, ahk_exe demul.exe
}

 

[Denys06]

You are a genius, it works wonderfully and everything works now. I say a big thank you.

Great app! but, how to change Video aspect ratio to 4:3?
