I can´t see in full screen. It works good in window. I have tried using the compatibility with XP3 and it doesnt open in full screen, and neither does it run in window mode.

 

I suppose you looked at post #39? Didn't move or rename it?

Good. Menu bar: I never did find a way to hide it. Multidisc: could you specify your problem? But I can say that you need a newer version of Rocketlauncher, for the fixed module, or Vaderag's one in post #45?

And do you have an English system, as I had problems with that, see above?

@manson, i'd love to know how you got there... we spent ages tinkering and could not get rid of menu bar... some of the stuff you said sounds way outside the scope of what we did (or the existing setup does), but if you have a step by step guide if love to follow through!

My system is not English, it´s Spanish.

 

In the module in the multigames lines change  "Open ahk_class #32770",selectedRom"  to "Abrir ahk_class #32770",selectedRom".

In games like Chuck Rocks Works en other like Cannon Fodder NO.

How have you guys got this setup from I'm reading you've over complicated it...

You need 2 emulators Arculator & RPCEmu

Arc is for the earlier games like lemming chuck rock etc RPC is for later games.

Just Download a pre-formatted HDF drive loada floppyand drag the app into that drive inside a folder

The Commands are simple for some more complex for others

Examle..

Drive 5

Dir CHUCK

!CHUCK

or find the ADFS DIRECTORY more complex ie <CHUCK.$.!CHUCK.!RUN>

Thats all for each game except for games like Fervour ie <GENERAL> <FAST> <PUZZLE> each one is a set

of games but need !Fervour Parent on the BAR.

 

Doom has no launch sadly looking into that it's launched with wad files associated with the doom launcher <DOOMU> <DOOMTNT> etc

Resolution/Screen Size CAN only be changed with in the OS RPC is your best bet as that can reach 1024x768 at 32thosand colours.

For this you will need the !BOOT file and set resolution.

Thanks, manson976. Interesting. 

Although, I don't feel that we "over complicated" the setup. The complicated parts were finding out of things that were misbehaving for some reason or other

(and there were a few such parts). But when the setup is done and working, it's really like any other system in Rocketlauncher/Hyperspin?

Nice, you got it (partly) working. Good that "Abrir" doesn't contain any special characters as "Öppna" does in Swedish.

 

Actually, what I did was to change the system on my Hyperspin computer to English anyway. I can just use the Swedish keyboard when needed.

And I mostly communicate in English anyway.

 

I deactivated several multidisk games, as they weren't working for some reason or other, but Cannon Fodder wasn't one of them. Now I can't seem to change disks in Cannon Fodder either.  Anyone else here tested it?

 

Are you using the module changes from vaderag or the new one from Rocketlauncher?

Well I can you give a pack of bezels when I've finished the set right now i'm working on box art and wheels my other drive died

so i'm re-doing box art.

The way it works is just having a background as bezel and sizing window on top, using the window_class to hide the menu bar.

You just have to set the resolution in the program itself.. 'There is no option for this in the settings for either emu'...

Then just have all your games installed on your external hdfs

Set all your cmd's in the setting files to launch each app (NOTE: some games need Basic or Wimp)

 

Have a cup of coffee
