Demul lightgun window minimising

If you click the top left corner of demul when it is full screen with your mouse it will restore demul to a small window, if you click about an inch in from the left it will shrink demul to a window plus you also get the about demul window showing up. Now playing ordinary games this isn't a problem but when playing lightgun games this is a big deal. Anyway of disabling this?, I'm not sure if its demul or windows as windows lets you close\restore\minimise etc if you click the top left corner of a window.

Is demul running windowed fullscreen or true fullscreen? Also did you try running with bezels to see if it has the same effect?

It's running in true fullscreen as windowed fullscreen causes me problems (Dual monitor setup could be the problem), If I enable bezel effect demul slows to a crawl when the bezel is created.

Demul 0.582 with 0.582 module

When running more than one monitor and your mouse goes off screen and onto the 2nd monitor and you click, it will make any fullscreen app minimize or go windowed. This happens to all games. The only way to prevent this is to lock the mouse to that one screen so it can't traverse to the 2nd one. I never looked into how to do this. Now if you are clicking in the main screen and it somehow causes the emu to go windowed, then that's a bug with the emu and you need to contact the emu dev to have him fix.

I have the same problem! I'm running demul 582 and win 8.1.

I turn off all the charm bar and active corner because I believe it was the problem... But without success.

I'm running in true full screen (not full screen windowed) and only one monitor CRT 31khz.

Could be really useful know if someone has the same problem with win 7 (32 or 64).

Anyway I opened an issue in bug tracker google of official demul website and I think you did the same connorsdad.

I really hope next release won't have this problem.

Djvj in the meaning time have you some idea?

Thanks

Ok it's a known problem of demul. Found a lot of people opened my same thread in others forum. One of my friend notices the problem in 2008 with demul 0.46 but problem persists. I'm starting to think it's a big problem otherwise the team had should solve it. The unbelievable fact is that me and another one of the forum create an issue in google bug tracker but no one of the team accepted it.

Please my call is for all the people that have the problem and also who haven't it to create an issue in the official google bug trucker of demul team hoping that they will consider the problem. There's the link.

Thanks to everyone

I hate to necro this thread, but has anyone come up with a solution to this? This really affects the lightgun games for Demul. Thanks!

We have to wait for the devs to update the emulator.

Connorsdad Is right we must wait. Consider that my friend in other forum said to me he wrote about this bug about 3 years ago to dev team.

Thanks to our report demul dev team accepted our bug in Google bug tracker and we hope it will disappear in next rel. consider dev team release once per 18 months about... I hope before February of next year COULD AND REPEAT COULD be out demul 0.5.9

I hope to write solved so quickly in this thread and play house of the dead 2 with my aimtrak .... Maybe with a friend with second gun.... Raw input could be accepted

So is this problem only with aimtrak lightguns? I am playing all atomiswave and Naomi lightgun games in full screen with the dolphinbar and a Wii controller without any issues. Tell me how I can get this defect to present itself.

Aimtrak emulate mouse. I don't know how dolphin bar work... Surely with different method.

If you try with single or double clicking upper area demul will go in window mode: if you are in full screen and also if you are in window mode!

Okay, I got it to do it. In the meantime, is there anyway to replace the mouse cursor to crosshairs?

I didn't try. Hyper spin hides mouse cursor and you don't need crosshair to play hotd2 or others gun game so I don't know

Yes. Look up mouse scope cursor. I have an animated scope cursor, it's sweet.
