Pyrometheous Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 I've been looking around the autohotkey area, and I can't find a command that'll wait 1 second, then send the {F11} keystroke. I'm basically trying to get BSNES to startup in fullscreen. At first I was trying Higan, but I couldn't find any way to get that to launch in fullscreen, so now I'm trying to get BSNES to go fullscreen right after the game launches. I've also tried FEleven but I can't find a good way of executing that along with BSNES and loading the ROM. Although, this would all be much easier if there was a command line parameter that would just toggle fullscreen at launch. Please let me know if you've been able to get this to work.

fromlostdays Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 I haven't used Higan in a long long time but are you sure there isn't an option in the emulator to open fullscreen? This seems like an unnecessary workaroundSent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fromlostdays Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 Alternately, you could use the bsnes core in retroarch, which will launch fullscreen.Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always shied away from retroarch (except on my vita), the interface just turns me off, although I suppose that with launchbox, there won't be much to do in retroarch aside from the initial setup.

Charco Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 I agree, once it's up and running you don't have to mess with it really. I'd recommend using @lordmonkus guide here: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SentaiBrad Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 We also have a lot of RetroArch tutorials: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL6pTDaHeAz-WMcNURVPU-1xLN_TVpT3FB Otherwise, the easiest route is to find out if Higan standalone has Command Line commands.

Retro808 Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 Have to chime in and agree on the retroarch option. I used to shy away from it as well and use a lot of standalones. With Launchbox once you have Retroarch set up for your specific cores Retroarch is out of sight out of mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyrometheous Posted March 30, 2017 Author Share Posted March 30, 2017 I'll have to give it a go. By chance, does retroarch work with hidef texture packs for N64 titles? Or is that just project 64 with the rice video plugin? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zombeaver Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 Try #NoEnv Sleep, 1000 SetKeyDelay, -1, 110 Send {F11} Return Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyrometheous Posted March 30, 2017 Author Share Posted March 30, 2017 Also not working, hmm... by chance does AutoHotKey script need to specify an application to press {F11} on? Or should it just work? When I was looking through the guide and the send commands I think I saw something about that, but I don't remember exactly what it was, I couldn't get it to work though.

Zombeaver Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 It should just work. Maybe try increasing the delay - it could be it's going off before the emulator actually comes up. 1000 = 1 second so try 2000 or 3000. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zombeaver Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 That exact script is working for me, for a different emulator but it's doing exactly what I'm telling it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 It worked for me after setting the delay to 3000, using Higan 1.01. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyrometheous Posted March 30, 2017 Author Share Posted March 30, 2017 Clearly I'm doing something wrong here. So I went ahead and recorded it Can you observe where I'm doing something wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 It might be a case of the emulator doesn't like it. I will grab BSnes v0.88 like you are using in your video to test out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 I couldn't even get version 0.88 to load a rom through Launchbox because of the way that emulator wants you to add your games to its own "roms folder". I would suggest getting a newer Higan build or using Retroarch unless you really have some oddball specific reason for using BSnes v0.88.

Zombeaver Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 Yeah it seems to be some issue with BSnes itself. It definitely works for RA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
