Joe35car Posted February 17, 2024 Posted February 17, 2024 Ok so I need a little help. When I start the system using Demul it runs in window mode. I have full-screen checked but still launches in window mode. I have to hit ALT+Enter to get in full-screen. Is there a default command line parameter to solve this? Thanks Quote
fromlostdays Posted February 17, 2024 Posted February 17, 2024 Rather than a command line parameter, you can use launchbox to automatically launch an AHK script. The first one in this thread is what you're looking for, just change the keys to Alt and Enter: Quote
fromlostdays Posted February 17, 2024 Posted February 17, 2024 (edited) Actually, it turns out I already have a script for Demul in launchbox (It's been a long time since I messed with it). Anyway, in case I wasn't clear, go to Emulators/Demul in launchbox settings, then in the box that pops up go to the Running Script tab and put this: ; This section makes the emulator go fullscreen and closes Demul when pressing Escape Sleep, 9500 Send {Alt Down}{Enter}{Enter Up}{Alt Up} $Esc:: { Send !{F4} } Edited February 17, 2024 by fromlostdays Quote
Joe35car Posted February 17, 2024 Author Posted February 17, 2024 works. Was a delay with fullscreen . Thank you so much 1 Quote
fromlostdays Posted February 18, 2024 Posted February 18, 2024 (edited) I'm glad it works. It's been a while and sometimes little things change. Edited February 18, 2024 by fromlostdays Quote
Joe35car Posted February 18, 2024 Author Posted February 18, 2024 Worked fined. I just lowered the delay time so it goes full screen sooner. Quote

snow5050 Posted April 8 Posted April 8 i figured the number had to due with a delay and i lowered it as someone suggested but still no fullscreen any idea why. i followed the script. any suggestions? Quote

If you weren't getting fullscreen before, then you usually need to increase the delay time. aka, wait longer before pressing Alt+Enter. If it's still not working after increasing it, try something crazy like 20 seconds (20000). Start the game and wait at least 20 seconds to see (1) the emulator load, and (2) the script sending it to fullscreen. If after 25 seconds the emulator has loaded but nothing changed, edit the emulator (in LaunchBox) and share with us a screenshot of the Running Script section. Quote
snow5050 Posted April 8 Posted April 8 I didn't know i had to press alt enter after 9.5 seconds. that solved the problem TY very much some of those scripts are not noob script friendly lol Quote

"pressing Alt+Enter" was meant to be symbolic of what the script does (on the 2nd line). If you don't mind physically pressing Alt+Enter yourself, you can remove those 2 lines altogether. What the script is supposed to do is: (green = the actual script. orange = description of what it's doing.) Sleep, 9500 ;Wait 9.5 seconds Send {Alt Down}{Enter}{Enter Up}{Alt Up} ;"Press" Alt+Enter Quote
snow5050 Posted April 8 Posted April 8 I see so if you remove the alt enter script lines it does it on its own? Either way I'm glad to have it in full-screen no matter the step it takes to accomplish it i was. First I was concerned with the controls for my 8bitdo controller it wasn't registering the inputs but eventually I got that problem solved and with this solved because of you the games now function the way they need to ty again I appreciate it. 1 Quote

It's the script that's doing it for you. The 1st word of each line is kind of telling what it's doing. "If you don't mind physically pressing..." means you manually press the buttons yourself. Regardless, glad you're happy with how things are working on your end. Quote
