Dolphin Emulator -b disables fullscreen


Go to solution Solved by AstroBob,

I'm trying to get Dolphin to launch in full screen. I have "Start in Fullscreen" checked in the graphics menu within the emulator. Below is what was in the "Default Command-Line Parameters" in Launchbox when Dolphin was first installed:

-b -C Dolphin.Interface.ConfirmStop=False -C Dolphin.Display.Fullscreen=True -e

I would assume this would work fine as it also sets fullscreen to True. I've tried every combination of the above parameters, as well as unchecking "Start in Fullscreen". Removing -b seems to give me full screen (so long as the fullscreen parameters are set). But when I do this, there is an instance of Dolphin running every time I exit a game. They'll stack up if I don't close them. This part makes sense since -b is what closes dolphin when exiting a game, but I don't know why it seems to be disabling full screen.

I've been searching for days and can't seem to find anyone with this issue. If there is anything else I can provide let me know.

Hi there,

Thanks for the report here, this is actually a known issue in 13.19. If you edit the Dolphin Emulator's setting, where you specify your command line parameters you'll also see an option called Attempt to hide console window on startup/shutdown. There is currently an issue with this setting which we're working on to address, but the result is that Dolphin doesn't launch in fullscreen, even though the command line parameter is correct.

If you turn that option off, it should launch correctly in fullscreen. 

Sorry for the confusion caused here, we're working to address this issue and I'll let you know once that has been rolled out.

Cheers,

Hi Folks,

Just to let you know this, issue has now been addressed internally and will be available in the next version of LaunchBox (13.20). An early beta is available of this version which contains this fix, which you are welcome to try out below:
