Sbaby Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 (edited) Hi, Retroarch and almost all emulators work fine with HDR enabled in Windows 11, but some emulators when launched cause HDR to be deactivated and not reactivated when returning to Launchbox. Other emulators only cause a Windows HDR brightness reset and I have to change it every time I start one of these emulators Retroarch with Nintendo 64 Retroarch with Vectrex Retroarch with 3DS Xemu Rpcs3 Ryujinx Yuzu Future Pinball ---- Advice? ... Edit : Cemu works with HDR.! Is Yuzu that doesn't work Edited August 9, 2022 by Sbaby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do the opposite. I have the windows desktop in SDR and toggle HDR on for games and emulators that natively support HDR or work fine with Windows AutoHDR. You can manually toggle HDR on or off with the keyboard shortcut Win + Alt + b or use this shortcut in an AutoHotKey script.

SendInput #!b my main problem is that starting these games reset windows hdr brightness leaving hdr on. Also I would like all retroarch cores to work in hdr, some don't work instead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Else you can try changing settings like the render API (Opengl, Directx, Vulkan) or change the fullscreen mode (exclusive fullscreen or windowed fullscreen). But as I said. HDR does not work consistently on windows for every game or program. IMO it's better to set your desktop to SDR and only enable HDR for games that work fine with it.

I have 2000 Windows games and emulators and only the ones mentioned have problems. Anyway thanks for your advice, I'll try and then I'll let you know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
