Alt & Enter for Full Screen

[magostin]

if i want to have the Emu go fullscreen using the Alt & Enter keystroke.

the following doesnt work, what am i doing wrong?

i'm new to scripting..

;**********************************ATARI 800***********************************

else if (systemName = "ATARI 800" && executable = "Altirra.exe")

{

hideDesktop()

SendInput, {Alt}{Enter}

Hotkey, %exitEmulatorKey%, CloseProcess

RunWait, %executable% "%romPath%%romName%%romExtension%", %emuPath%

}

u want to press alt-enter after the emu runs, plus add a sleep before you send it, otherwise it will try to send the key at the same time as it ran the emu.

[magostin]

can you write an example or copy and paste the code above with what you advised.

i don't know autohotkey scripting, i just copy stuff already written to try..

thx,

Its already pretty close its just the order of the script:

;**********************************ATARI 800***********************************

else if (systemName = "ATARI 800" && executable = "Altirra.exe")

{

hideDesktop()

Hotkey, %exitEmulatorKey%, CloseProcess

RunWait, %executable% "%romPath%%romName%%romExtension%", %emuPath%

SendInput, {Alt}{Enter}

}

If that doesn't work then maybe add "Sleep,100" before the send input line.

[djvj]

The sleep would likely have to be longer, I don't see the emu being ready to acknowledge and alt+enter key press in only 1/10 of a second after being ran.

I would start with 1000 and work your way down.

[DrMoney]

I didn't even notice. That was around what i intended, sorry.

[magostin]

it didn't work. with or without the sleep 1000

;**********************************ATARI 800***********************************

else if (systemName = "ATARI 800" && executable = "Altirra.exe")

{

hideDesktop()

Hotkey, %exitEmulatorKey%, CloseProcess

RunWait, %executable% "%romPath%%romName%%romExtension%", %emuPath%

Sleep,1000

SendInput, {Alt}{Enter}

}

[chillinwater]

remove "wait" from

RunWait, %executable% "%romPath%%romName%%romExtension%", %emuPath%

nothing happens after the "wait" when used.

[magostin]

it still didnt work, and now the emulator is behind hyperspin.

is a better emu out there than altira? that works with hyperspin?

i'm thinking its altira that is the problem.

[chillinwater]

try this link,

Atari 800xl...800winxl.exe

exit this emu while in fullscreen (outside Hyperspin) then when you load it while in Hyperspin it should automatically go into fullscreen with no special tinkering.

or test this if you really want "Atiira". I dont use this or have it setup personally so I cant test it.

I dont know which emu is better (never heard of "Altirra" before)

;**********************************ATARI 800***********************************

else if (systemName = "ATARI 800" && executable = "Altirra.exe")

{

hideDesktop()

Hotkey, %exitEmulatorKey%, CloseProcess

Run, %executable% "%romPath%%romName%%romExtension%", %emuPath%

sleep, 1000

WinActivate, %executable% ;or actual "altirra" window name on taskbar

Sleep,1000

SendInput, {Alt}{Enter}

;SendInput, {LAltdown}{Enter}{LAltup} ;alternative (currently disabled with ";")

Process, WaitClose, , %executable% ;or actual "altirra" window name on taskbar

WinActivate, HyperSpin

}

Any outcome?

thanks

Maybe you can change the .\Hyperspin\settings\Atari800.ini file

 

Example:

 

[exe info]

path = H:\hyperspin\Emulators\Atari800\

rompath = H:\hyperspin\Emulators\Atari800\Roms\

userompath = true

exe = Altirra.exe /fullscreen /escexit   <------Check this

romextension =rar

parameters =

searchsubfolders = false

pcgame = false

winstate = HIDDEN

hyperlaunch =false   <----and this

 

 

I did this for another emulator and it worked well.

Not sure of the Altirra.exe, because i never tested that 1.

Anyway, it cant hurt to try it out.

Hi i use another setting and works nice, you are using sendinput, and i use only send and works great...

 

here as an example...

 

}

IniWrite, %fullscreenWidth%, %emupath%gpuOglv3.ini, resolution, fWidth
IniWrite, %fullscreenHeight%, %emupath%gpuOglv3.ini, resolution, fHeight
Run, "%Emupath%%Executable%" -run=atomiswave -rom=%RomName%
SetTimer, CheckWin, 2

sizeOrg=
CheckWin:
IfWinNotExist, ahk_class window
{
   return
}else{
   WinGetPos,,,W,,ahk_class window
   if(W != sizeOrg && sizeOrg != ""){
      Goto StartGame
   }else{
      sizeOrg = %W%
   }
}
return

StartGame:
  SetTimer, CheckWin, Off
  WinActivate ahk_class window
  send, {ALTDOWN}{ENTER}{ALTUP} ; Go full Screen demul 582
  Send !{ENTER}
  Blockinput off
  sleep, 1000
  Gui Destroy
  winactivate, DEMUL
  Process, WaitClose, %executable%
return
          
CloseProcess:
  Process, Close, %executable%
  ExitApp 
return

  Gui Destroy
  winactivate, DEMUL
  Process, WaitClose, %executable%
return

 

My problem is with hyperspin 2 and demul 582  after 5 or 10 minuts playing it get out of fullscreen and i dont know why, if i use the emulator alone without hyperspin do the same but if i use it throught hyperspin 3 it works perfect (its like with it, it block fullscreen and demul works great) and i tried to use same scripts because i have all my systems in hyperspin 2 but unable to solve that..
