Hyperlaunch Help!!!!

[Squeaks9225]

okay how do I run this program??

I am having problems setting up the atari lynx....

Without setting hyperlaunch to true when I select a game the screen goes part blank(half of the wheel image is like frozen in) I can hear the game in the background but when hitting esc etc nothing happens...

Now when I set it to true the game loads up and I can exit just fine.... Its just that its such a small window that pops up and when this is finally in a cab I cant be hitting keyboard keys to make it fullscreen....

I assume I will be doing more hyperlaunches with the other emulators as they act in similiar fashion...

When I click on hyperlaunch it says Usage:Hyperlaunch.ahk/exe "system name" "rom name"

I am using winxp and do not do good with dos based commands.. how dow I get hyperlaunch to run??? I heard they use scripts are there scripts on this site for the various emulators to get them working? what program do I need to download to view or program theese scripts in? I am soo confused!!!

[Squeaks9225]

kk I think I am figuring it out a bit I dl'ed autohotkey and used badboybills script(the one with all emulator support) saved it as hyperlaunch.ahk with no problems...


what scripts should I add to enable it to go to fullscreen mode immediately upon selecting a game form the wheel screen????


just a lil less confused hehehehe

"edit" okay here is what I think the part of the script I need to edit????

;**********************************ATARI Lynx***********************************
else if (systemName = "Atari Lynx" && executable = "handy.exe")
{
hideDesktop()
Hotkey, %exitEmulatorKey%, CloseProcess
RunWait, %executable% "%romPath%%romName%%romExtension%", %emuPath%, UseErrorLevel
}



What do I need to add to this to make the emulator run fullscreen when I select a game from the wheel images???

Alt + Enter will make it go fullscreen when running the emulator by itself but like I said without a keyboard soon this needs to be done automatically????

Actually you are making this one more complicated than needed. For Atari Lynx to run full screen all you have to do is startup the emulator in fullscreen OUTSIDE of hyperspin. Then hit alt+f4 to close it out, and then it will stay in fullscreen within hyperspin for you.

[Squeaks9225]

I tried running it in fullscreen then closing with alt+f4 and it didnt save the settings it continues to go into windowed mode regardless if I am using hyperspin or the emulator itself this is why I need to know what I should edit in hyperlaunch since handy has no config ini file itself...

[dpar]

It shouldn't do this. I have handy running atari lynx on my system. If you run the emulator standalone and start a game in full screen and hit alt+f4 it should close and save it. This is the way you are supposed to do it. Then when you use hyperspin it should stay fullscreen. If it is not then I am not sure what the issue is.

As long as you do that and have hyperlaunch set to true, there is nothing you should have to change with your actual hyperlaunch settings as hyperlaunch is already set up properly for handy.

[BadBoyBill]

Thats what I did to get it full screen, like dpar says.

[Squeaks9225]

i dunno doing the alt + f4 with other emulators seems to work its NOT working with handy though :(

isnt there a hotkey command or some other automated way that I can add to the script to enable fullscreen in hyperlaunch? since the above suggestion isnt working for me?

to make it fullscreen in handy by itself you hit ALT + Enter if this helps at all

[BadBoyBill]

you could do a winWait then send Alt-Enter I guess.

[SophT]

try instead of alt+f4 using taskman and killing it...

[Squeaks9225]

using taskman and killing it still did not work

"you could do a winWait then send Alt-Enter I guess"

how do I do this what code do I need to insert(and where)


thanx for the help!

This will most likely kill the code below! But maybe not.
This confirms what BBB and Dpar said.


Revision History ---------------- V0.95 ( i just noticed Ive got v0.82 and fullscreen works in HS)
* Interrupt system re-written to make it edge triggered,
see Shadow of the beast to see the improvement,
also fixes lockups in a number of other games (Loopz/Championship Rally/Fidelity Chess)

* Command line filename input supported: handy.exe <filename>
* Pressing ESC will now exit if you started with command line as above
* For all you folks using front-ends, you can now start directly into full-screen mode,
the last used mode will be remembered exactly, so setup your desired mode, ALT-F4 to exit, then use your command line
* When in command line mode, all screen switching is disabled
* Bug fix to ram.cpp & cart.cpp


(untested with statement above) play with the sleep time.
I could never get this to work with PC-Engine but it might work here. (it worked for Demul)

Hotkey, %exitEmulatorKey%, CloseProcess
RunWait, %executable% "%romPath%%romName%%romExtension%", %emuPath%,
sleep, 5000 ;adjust this 5000 = 5 secs time to wait before sending to fullscreen (gives handy time to load first)
send, {laltdown}{enter}{laltup} ;fullscreen

}

i figured out it was a bad copy of handy I was using.... I uninstalled it put on a new copy and the issues went away!
