Hide starting emulator activity

[doohan]

Hi everybody,

For the Saturn and Dreamcast, I can see the emulator launching activities before launching the game itself.

What do I have to add in the hyperlaunch to hide these activities (black screen or nothing till game is launched).

Thanks and regards,

You've tried using fade I assume?

Hi gigapig.

Fade? can you expend?

Thanks and regards,

There is a tab in HLHQ called fade under one of the settings tabs.

It's basically artwork which is displayed over the top of emulator while the emulator starts.

I can post a screen shot later if you can't find it.

This may also help.

Hi Gigapig,

I'm still on old revision

Is there a way to put in the hypelaunch xml a keyword to ask black screen or wait until game launch?

Thanks and regards,

[gigapig]

There may be a way but I don't know what that is, hopefully someone else can help.

What are the interest in HyperHQ of Minimize, Hide, ...? Don't see any difference opening the emu....

[doohan]

With Saturn f.i., you can see a small windows opening and then a sort of bare code, then the game is launching.

The goal is to hide the opening windows and bare code.

I have the same issue with some emulators, they launch faster than the fade start or end lol... I think I'll have to live with it.

I tried fade on some systems before, but it never seemed to actually fade over the emulator. The fade would happen, but then it would just delay the starting of the emulator until after the fade was done, so you still saw it load,...just after the fade which was supposed to happen on top of it. After a while I just gave up.

I have fade now on delayed systems. Mostly in zip-isos decompression.
