WinKawaks And LaunchBox... Maybe Rocketlauncher?

[latin625]

Hi,  I wanted to see if someone could sort me out with my current problem.  I am using WinKawaks instead of RetroArch for may CPS 1 and CPS 2 games.  I can get it to launch outside of LB with WinKawaks. No problem!  But, I have it listed in LB and the emulator is Winkawaks 165, when I clcik on the game in LB, I get winKawaks to load and open, but the game does not load.  Also it is stuck in a windowed mode, even though I use the parameter -fullscreen in the emulator.

Thanks!

ok. found this from the great LordMonkus on another thread.  WORKED!

turning on "Don't use quotes" and "Use file name only" but it will not go into fullscreen mode. And if I put -fullscreen as the command-line parameter it breaks it and doesn't load the game.

Anyone now how to FORCE fullscreen.  Yes, I can use  retroarch, but really like winkawaks. =)

Ok.  Got the keys set and have added my Winkawaks script below in caseit helps anyone.  Remainin issues..  No Auto full screen and when I pause and exit, the emulator  does not close. Here is my setup ini for WinKawaks 165.
