DOSBox won't go full screen using DFend after update to RocketLauncher 1.0

[crusadeRGP]

Wondering if anyone else is having any issues with MS-DOS games in their Hyperspin install. Once i choose any DOS game it will try to load in full screen using DFend and after a couple seconds it goes into windowed mode. I just recently updated to RocketLauncher 1.0 after using HyperLaunch for some time. Games will load in full screen when I test it in RocketLauncherUI so it must somewhere in HyperSpin. If I need to upload any logs please let me know.

Check your Dfend.ini  file located in Rocket Launcher\Modules\Dfend. Make sure it's set to Fullscreen=true. It's also may be good to check your config file for Dfend which if like DosBox may be located in your local app data folder under users

I checked and everything is set to start in full screen. I went back to Hyperlaunch and it starts okay along with the test icon in RocketLauncherUI. Still not working inside of latest hyperspin.

Are you using Rocket Laucher or Hyperlauncher? Cause you should not being using Hyperlaunch with Rocket LauncherUI...Or you just went back to test through Hyperlaunch for comparison?

And did you check the actual Dfend ConFig file? And maybe check the Dfend ConFig File for your roms too.....I had to modify some stuff in my DosBox config files from (Output=Surface)to (Output=Overlay)....

Sorry man I'm not familiar with Dfend I'm just trying to help.....but from some quick research I see Dfend is a front end for DosBox....so if you change your Output setting in your MAIN DosBox config file to Overlay it might slove your problem....Surface setting doesn't support scaling or aspect correction...Try setting (aspect= true)as well

Just was trying out Hyperlaunch to see if it still worked which it does but currently set up to to RocketLauncher. Everything is as it was before I switched over to RocketLauncher a few days ago but I did recheck my DFend config and everything looks okay. I also want to note that when I start any MS-DOS game when it minimizes from full screen to window mode it is running behind the HyperSpin front end. It seems like HyperSpin wants to stay on top of the game window after it is selected.

Look for your DosBox config file,if it's the emulator you're using for Dfend...It should be in local app data under users or you can extract a rom(if zipped) go to the !Dos folder\ROMNAME\dosbox.config. Check the settings there

My dosbox.conf contains these lines:

 

fullscreen=true
fulldouble=false
fullresolution=original
windowresolution=original
output=surface
autolock=true
sensitivity=100
waitonerror=true
priority=higher,normal
mapperfile=mapper-0.74.map
usescancodes=true

Hyperspin does that sometimes when you have an emulator launching a game to full screen and hyperspin is set to window mode or vice versa from my experience.

[goldguitarguy]

My dosbox.conf contains these lines:

fullscreen=true

fulldouble=false

fullresolution=original (instead try =Desktop)

windowresolution=original

output=surface (instead try= Overlay)

aspect=true (add this cmd line)

autolock=true

sensitivity=100

waitonerror=true

priority=higher,normal

mapperfile=mapper-0.74.map

usescancodes=true

Still having the same problem in full screen HyperSpin with the changes to the DOSBox config file. All updates to the AHK modules are downloaded to the latest versions.

Here's the setting choices from my RocketLauncher\Modules\DOSBox\DOSBox.ini,they should match your dosbox.conf too

[settings]

Fullscreen=true

Scaler=normal3x

Output=overlay

Fullscreen_Resolution=desktop

Windowed_Resolution=1280x1024

Aspect=true

Force_Extraction_To_Rom_Path=false

Hide_Console=false
