How to disable fullscreen using RetroArch


TECHNOROGERIO

Recommended Posts

Hi guys, I researched and found nothing about it. RetroArch is my default emulator for LaunchBox, but even setting RetroArch not to start in fullscreen, it still does. I want to do retro livestreams, but when the game starts in fullscreen, the mouse gets stuck on the game screen, preventing me from going to the second monitor using OBS Studio. Is there any way to prevent this from happening?

Tools > Manage Emulators. Select RetroArch and press Edit. In the window that opens pressed the "Associated Platforms" tab. Remove the "-f" part of the command line of every platform you have in there. This switch is what is telling RetroArch to open full screen regardless of your settings.

It worked. Thank you very much! Every time I open a new game, LaunchBox opens a new RetroArch window instead of using the same one. Is there a way to open just one instance of RetroArch, or will it always open a new window each time I start a new game?

It'll always open a new one
