noob needs help with Sega Hikaru

[Tezza77]

Hi got a couple problems with Sega Hikaru any help with this be great i have all games working  with demul07_111117 and in full screen with a good called HikaruFullscreen that i saw here i have added this to launch box and right clicked the game edit it and added as a additional app to run before main app tick in box but goes full screen black screen then just dont load crash s

Does the game load properly (not worried about fullscreen just that the game actually loads) without that additional app?

OK. Just wanted to eliminate it being a rom/emulator issue.

I do not use the launcher file. In Launchbox I just added a second Demul emulator and called it Demul Hikaru (it points to the same demul exe as the other systems use). That way I can use an AHK to send Alt+F4 after the game launches to send it to fullscreen.

Ok thanks great idea added the second emulator and named it Demul Hikaru and points to demul just the AHK to send Alt+F4  not very clued up on AHK seen few topics on them but mainly for closeing the emulators

Here you go. The timing "9500" can be adjust slower or faster. I think that is set at that time from something I was testing. You can reduce it to 5500

Normally the code is written without the {Alt Up} at the end but I have seen without this sometimes Pause Menu will not work.

Great retro many thanks for that will check it out soon as home

Sorry to bump a thread from January but I'm at my wits end on this. I had it working fullscreen the other day. Then I try it today and its a small box again. I have the AHK script mentioned above in Launchbox. I've also tried HikaruFullScreen, and I've even tried both the script and HikaruFullscreen together. The game launches and it refreshes like it wants to go fullscreen then I get a black screen, but then it goes back to small box. The other day I think I messed with DPI settings for demul.exe to get it to work but today I've tried to mess with them for hours and I can't get it to work.  I think it's something with my graphics card or something but again I had it working the other day why it changed and didn't work today no clue. Is there certain settings in Demul I need to make it go fullscreen? I've clicked start fullscreen and unclicked it both in Demul and it didn't help. I've changed the resolution in Demul it didn't help. Someone please help.

 

Also the few times I've been able to make it stay fullscreen it just freezes.

If anyone gets some error, here is a command line for AHK to set autofulscreen and exit easily from the games with "ESC" button:

Sleep, 9500
Send {Alt Down}{Enter}{Enter Up}{Alt Up}

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

This works too but faster:

Sleep, 3500
Send {Alt Down}{Enter}{Enter Up}{Alt Up}

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

Hello. Can you post a screenshot of this command as it shows in LB? This isn't working for me...thank you.

I have it exiting fine, but it won't go full screen.

Here it is. You can modify the number right to "Sleep" (try with 9500, 10500, 11500 or higher).

This is for use "ESC" for fullscreen and auto-fullscreen.

It works now. Not sure what the issue was before, thank you!

Just wanted to say thanks for the sleep and alt enter script!

 

I was going nuts trying to figure out why demul with hikaru games weren't going full screen even with it set to do so in the emulator options.

This isnt working for me. I have it working. I can even start it from a command line and it works as expected. However when I try to use launchbox it comes up with wanting me to enter the rom

 

 

It loads it fine after selecting the rom

 

But I cant get it to autoload and go to full screen. What am I doing wrong. I have been banging my head on this one all day.

Un-check Extract ROM.

See the posts above for what to add to the emulators Running Script section.

That fixed the autoload issue Thanks!

I still cant get it to fullscreen I have tried a bunch of different sleep values. It will go fullscreen within the window that seems to be locked to a particular size. That window will not go any bigger to fill out my screen

Sleep, 20500
Send {Alt Down}{Enter}{Enter Up}{Alt Up}

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