Newbie looking for help launching Fix it Felix from MAME Wheel.

unfortunately I don't have anything useful to help with your problem since my FIF runs on a vertical monitor cab and I don't use the bezel...

It has a mind of its own. You can open it and it is fine, close then open again and the game is small. oh well.

Are you using the FIFJ files from my ftp folder?

I can bring the mouse pointer/cross hair into the play area, it always gets moved to the top left corner of the screen and is hidden.

Im using the one you share Gigapig. It hyperlaunches no problem, but will not work through HS itself? It gives the "exe not set, give info of steam etc in HL". I have done all that as it launches with HL?

As you can tell i have added it to PClauncher as i like to use fade

I have nothing really defined in my entry and it works fine, I'm sure I had similar issues recently with a Steam game, I think I just removed the entry in HLHQ and added it again.

Based on this, the only thing I can think of is that there might be a problem with the order and speed in which the switch from HL to FIF is made... maybe sometimes something takes slightly longer or shorter amounts of time and that makes things work properly or not work properly... if you haven't already try adding a delay on launch (you can adjust this for FIF in the PCLauncher module settings).

when I tried launching FIF directly from HS it had a problem where focus was not automatically returned to HS when you exited FIF... a lot of emulators and PC games have this problem actually but HL takes care of it for you.

as for your Steam error it sounds like you have some parameters setup in the PCLauncher.ini that need to be removed... if you're not using steam I would recommend checking that file and commenting out or deleting any profiles that aren't being used (make a backup copy of the file first just to be safe though).

I've actually been getting the same behaviour. To fix it I've mainly had to change the zoom level to 200% the it doesn't flit about into different positions every launch.

Here's the new ones but they may not be any good for you.
