Automatically send {F11} keystroke after emu launch


Pyrometheous

Recommended Posts

I was originally using higan v102, however I couldn't find any way of making that full screen at all. So I opted for this version of BSNES because "F11" worked for full screen, so I figured if I could find the right script, I could get it to work. But I'm probably gonna end up just using RA instead, although I think it would be great to be able to resolve this conundrum (the geek in me wants to know why), it seems I have a perfectly reasonable solution to the problem that I should implement.

Try again with version 1.02 or 1.01 of Higan because it works for me with 1.01.

I'm using 1.02, which won't fullscreen at all, I seem to be running into an issue with not being able to find a download for 1.01, all download links take me to here. Which only allows me to download v1.02.

This whole thing is making me feel like an idiot.

I will grab 1.02 and see if I can figure it out. Basically he hasn't been doing any real work on the Snes side of Higan lately, instead he's doing more work on the other systems Higan emulates.

I really appreciate your help with all of this. I've tried to do the research myself on this, but just ran into a bunch of brick walls. In a way, I'm glad that the script issue wasn't just me not understanding how to use AutoHotKey. I'm ordinarily alright with scripts, but this was making me feel like a crazy person.

Ok I figured it out for version 1.02 and basically for whatever reason Byuu had decided to disable the fullscreen hotkey by default for this version so you need to set it first.

Go to Settings > Configuration > Hotkeys Tab > Toggle Fullscreen and set that to what you want so in this case F11.

Then use the AHK script that Zombeaver posted earlier but with a 3000 ms delay

#NoEnv

Sleep, 3000
SetKeyDelay, -1, 110
Send {F11}
Return

I really do appreciate Byuus dedication to 100% accuracy and the best possible quality but he really has some really fucked up ways of thinking and how he does things. In the process of reading through the forum post for this I was reading his thoughts on CD emulation for Sega CD since that seems to be one of current projects and basically to him ISO and BIN + CUE are shitty formats. His answer for this is to use his own custom format and have the emulator convert them using Icarus like he has Higan do for SNES roms.

/facepalm

lol, so I got the script to work in V0.94, which is fantastic, but it won't load games via launchbox. Does anyone have a link for v1.01? 

What are those filter advantages to RA over Higan? I was just going with Higan because I read that it was "true emulation" like an exact replica experience to playing on a cart.

The differences between the latest Higan releases and the latest Retroarch BSnes Accuracy core is extremely small. The RA Bsnes cores are based off of BSnes v0.94 and the Accuracy version of the core is considered 100%. It is extremely unlikely anyone would ever be able to tell the difference in the actual emulation itself but RA gives you better shaders and is much easier to use.
