Title: ep128emu fullscreen
Post by: dangerman on 2017.December.22. 12:44:26

Haven't looked at ep128emu for a while, but really happy to see some new developments this year. Brilliant to see that there's now mouse support. I'm loving using a mouse with Boxsoft Paintbox.

I have one question - is it possible to start the emulator full screen by default? So that I don't have to press F9 every time I start? (I'm running on Linux btw). I remember back in version 1, there was a fullscreen command line switch but that doesn't seem to work in version 2.

Thank you!

There is no command line option for that currently. If you can build the emulator from the source code, then the default can be changed in line 63 of gui/gui.cpp:

Code: C++

1.   displayMode = 0;

0: windowed with menu bar
1: windowed, no menu bar
2: fullscreen with menu bar
3: fullscreen, no menu bar, the mouse cursor is grabbed

Thanks IstanV. I'll try that out.

In fact, I decided to add a display.fullscreen configuration option to src/emucfg.cpp and src/emucfg.hpp

Then I modified gui/gui.cpp like this:

Code: [Select]

 if ( config.display.fullscreen <= 3 ) {
    displayMode = (int)config.display.fullscreen;
  } else {
    displayMode = 0;
  }
So now it's possible to add a display.fullscreen option into an ASCII config file.
