latin625 Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 Hi, I finally got DEMUL working but even though I check off the FULLSCREEN option, it stays windowed. Any ideas? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 Try fullscreening it with alt + enter and then exit the game like normal. Then it may load fullscreen the next time you load a game. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
latin625 Posted April 22, 2017 Author Share Posted April 22, 2017 Yup. the screen flickers then it goes back to windowed. Grrrr.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 Strange, mine loads up fullscreen but then again Demul is a finicky bitch of an emulator at times. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
latin625 Posted April 22, 2017 Author Share Posted April 22, 2017 It also crashes all together if I launch it from lauchbox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
latin625 Posted April 22, 2017 Author Share Posted April 22, 2017 (edited) now I can get it bigger, but the bars on top hold and when I close it, it goes back to small size Edited April 22, 2017 by latin625 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
latin625 Posted April 22, 2017 Author Share Posted April 22, 2017 Gave up... went with NullDC no issues Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zombeaver Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 I'm pretty sure Demul just remembers whatever you had it running as when you closed it - in other words if it's in full screen when you exit the emulator it loads back up in full screen the next time you start it. I believe that's what Demul does anyway. As far as the crashing, try checking the "attempt to hide console window at startup" in the emulator entry in LB.

SentaiBrad Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 For Demul in LB, you need to check "Hide console window" when you edit demul in LB, it should solve the crashing. It should also remember your fullscreen when you re-load Demul automatically. As for the bar at the top, I'm not sure, but there's no bar at the top for me. Edit: You may also need to exit Demul from Alt + F4 and not Controller Automation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fromlostdays Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 Also, if you're using rocketlauncher and the newest module, it seems RL will overwrite your demul settings. So you have to set them in the module options.Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
latin625 Posted April 22, 2017 Author Share Posted April 22, 2017 (edited) Yup. No RL... Just gave up all together and went with NullDC... Works and that's good enough for me. Spent too much time and frustration trying to get that emulator to work. Thanks guys! Edited April 22, 2017 by latin625 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zombeaver Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 NullDC "works" insomuch as it plays some games decently... sometimes. It's nowhere near as accurate overall as Demul. There are plenty of games that have major problems with NullDC. There are games that have issues in Demul as well, mind you, but not as many. Even games as major as Shenmue have huge visual problems in NullDC. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
latin625 Posted April 22, 2017 Author Share Posted April 22, 2017 I hear ya. I am more concerned with just having full screen capability. Nothing is worse than playing a game like Zombie revenge on a windowed 640 x 480 screen with menu bars. Ughhhh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SentaiBrad Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 Um... we were being idiots (not you Latin). After thinking about it again, I realized, my demul runs in 1280x960, not a small window. I keep it windowed... but I remember a fullscreen option, and it's totally there. I don't know why I didn't think about that sooner. I was reading other posts and talked myself out of the option being there! There is a checkbox to start in fullscreen though... that's all you need. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
latin625 Posted April 22, 2017 Author Share Posted April 22, 2017 Thanks @SentaiBrad Tried your settings and still would not go into fullscreen. Best I could get was an off centered window version going. I think I am gonna stick to NullDC. The frustration of getting that emulator to run is just not worth it. Hope I can run DemolishFist on NullDc...gonna try soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zombeaver Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 Which video plugin (config -> plugins and paths) are you using for Demul? There's gpuDX11 and gpuDX11ng. This is what I've got for mine: And this is what I have in graphics config: And this is what I have on my emulator details tab in LB: If this is what you've got and it's still not running in fullscreen I'm inclined to think you've got some kind of external software that's interfering - maybe something set in the Nvidia control panel or with Nvidia Share or whatever the ATI equivalents are if you've got an ATI card. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
latin625 Posted April 22, 2017 Author Share Posted April 22, 2017 (edited) Yeah... I have the same settings. No biggie. Thanks for the help though. I think ima stick with NullDC for now. Just want to start playing and not worry about the crashing with LB and the non full screen. Edited April 22, 2017 by latin625 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arcade1993 Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 I know this is an old post but I am having this issue as well. Is there any known fix for it other than using NullDC? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 A fix for what ? Launching Demul in Fullscreen mode ? Simply turn it on in the video settings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a file menu bar that does not go away, even with those settings. I am using a genuine standard res arcade monitor. Maybe that's why?
