Occelot Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 (edited) Hey guys, just like the title implies, when I start an N64 game or NES game through launchbox and press ESC to exit the game, the screen stays at 4:3 at whatever resolution was set by the game. However, when I play the game through project64 or retroarch directly, the screen returns to normal after I exit. Has anyone encountered this before?

Sounds to me like you are not closing those emulators in a safe way, therefore Windows keeps the resolution/aspect. Are you just hitting escape on a keyboard, or using a script?

Is there some sort of boilerplate ESC script I should be using to handle exiting gracefully? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Occelot Posted February 21, 2022 Author Share Posted February 21, 2022 So, I'm guessing what's happening is, the emulator is responding to EXIT and closing, which is underminding launchbox's exit procedure.. So to fix, I would think I need to either assign a different button to exit via launchbox controls, vs using the emulator default exit button (esc). OR, remove the "esc" mapping from the emulator, and continue using launchbox' `esc` as exit for emulators. Teach me the ways of the Jedi. 52 minutes ago, neil9000 said: Sounds to me like you are not closing those emulators in a safe way, therefore Windows keeps the resolution/aspect.
