Help with new BSNES version .75

[prismra]

This new version does not remember if the emulator was run fullscreen from the previous run so you have to press F11 each time to get it to go fullscreen. I've tried to modify my script so it sends an F11 (the new fullscreen hotkey) after the emulator launches but it doesn't work. It just stays in windowed mode. If I press F11 on the keyboard it goes fullscreen.

Here is my script:

else if (systemName = "Super Nintendo Entertainment System" && executable = "bsnes.exe")
{
hideDesktop()
SetKeyDelay, 250
Hotkey, %exitEmulatorKey%, KillBSNES
Run, %Executable% "%romPath%%romName%%romExtension%", %EmuPath%
Sleep, 1000
WinGet, NewPID, PID, A
Process, priority, %NewPID%, High
sleep, 2000
SendInput {F11}
Process, WaitClose, %NewPID%
WinActivate, HyperSpin
}

To make sure I wasn't insane I replaced the {F11} with !{F4} (alt+F4) and it works (it closes the emulator after it opens). For whatever reason the F11 is not working.

Can anyone help out? Thanks!

Anyone else testing with this new version?

I'm having the same problame. Also, I can't get ZSNES to go fullscreen at all now for some reason and BSNES works but I have to manually hit F11, which I wanna fix for my cabinet. Hyperspin also isn't hiding itself when BSNES opens :(

I would greatly appreciate any help

What about just mapping F11 to some button that's extra on the cab or is that too much of a pain?

[Dred]

If you really want to use BSNES and F11 is the only way to make it full screen couldn't you just edit the hyperlaunch script to press F11 once the emulator is loaded?

I am not a autohotkey expert but i am sure you could look up the command for that and add it in. See if that solves the issue.

[Avar]

That's the issue the OP and I are both having. The AHK script isn't making it go fullscreen after being altered to do so unfortunately, even though other inputs (like Alt-F4) work.

Well just so you know bsnes is open souce and i found a version .75 someone uploaded with 7z,zip, and rar support. They also added a full screen toggle among other things. just search google with aeronextedit bsnes and you will find the download page.

I am already using it and it does work. Though i do not know how to hide the menu when it goes full screen.

Yeah I 've got it working fine aside from being able to auto-fullscreen. I've added the proper commands to AHK but it has no effect for some reason. I'm not sure why you're getting the menu bar though, mine's disappearing if I use F-11 for fullscreen. I'm using 0.75 also =/ are you saying you can toggle yours perma-on or same deal with F-11 toggle?

Is the Accuracy one good to try out with an i7 @ 4.0GhZ?

[Dred]

just search google with "aeronextedit bsnes"

Yes mine toggles fullscreen. Again some random guy not the author of bsnes mind you modded it with several changes. I am using that version. you can to download searching the google with the term above.

I haven't messed with it too much i do want to find out how to make the menu hide when its full screen tho. nice alternative to zsnes. I never even heard of it untill today.

Edit: Well i am using AMD Phenom II X4 at only 3.2ghz and so far it runs smooth. Though i can make it run slow if i keep messing with the filters and things like that. Also multitasking and doing other things might slow it down. while its running.

I am trying the accuracy one for now. 32-bit because while i can use the 64bit version i run my hyperspin off a usb drive and want to be able to show it off on any computer.

Ah, that makes more sense. I misunderstood before. Thanks >:D

Just thought i update this thread about bsnes and getting it to go full screen.

bsnes version 76 - fullscreen works perfect with menu hiding etc if you press F11 when the game loads. No option or commandline to enable fullscreen off the bat.

bsnes version 75 modded [Aero] has fullscreen support right off the bat but does not scale to the edges(top bottom) and menu at top stays. you can press numpad3 hide menu when game loads.

The problem is that autohotkey no matter how many ways you try to send keys to enable full screen or hide menus it won't work in bsnes because


Nope, sorry. Been discussed a lot, but I'm not adding that. Modify the source if you really need it.

It won't capture your VB sendkeys because it doesn't listen for window messages. It polls the input devices directly.

This is a really old quote from 2009 but sounds about right since i have tried everything to sendinput in autohotkey. So the question is there an easy way around this?

It sounds like to use bsnes for hyperspin you would have to compile one with commandline or sendinput support for fullscreen.
