Help with Dolphin showing the GUI when booting a game, startup screen not a perfect solution


Recommended Posts

Posted

So I'm trying to make as many of my emulators be direct boot where it doesn't show any GUI and just boots directly in the game. I've had a lot of trouble with that on Dolphin and I can use startup screen where it says loading but I not only want to skip the loading screen the GUI flashes briefly over the loading screen (yes I'm being overly picky I'm sorry) I'd rather it just boot directly in the game with no gui no waiting like I've been able to do on most emulators. There was a DolphinGUI that they used to use a long time ago and I just happened to get ahold of it a Dolphin built for Teknoparrot but it doesn't seem to work right it still shows the GUI when the game is launching. Has anyone solved this if they're like me picky about GUIs running when a game launches?

Using the command line parameters -b -e should take care of it.

For mine I also add confirm exit=false and fullscreen=true (I know I could just set those via the UI) 

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

I also have the startup screen delay set to 5 seconds.

If you need something more aggressive (which really, you shouldn't with the startup screens), you can try checking the box for Aggressive Startup Window Hiding.  and//or Hide Windows that are Not Exclusive Fullscreen.
