I played atomiswave games fullscreen using Demul (i think its F8 for fullscreen). I hope it answers your question.

propenty a autohotkey wrapper could do that? So it autopress that key, so it change to fullscreen. I have not heard about this emulator, so I have not checked it out.

Ditto..... Nice emulator!

AHK should do the job just fine.  We are very fortunate in that the romname is displayed in the gamelist.  So.... the ahk would need to:

1.  Launch the emulator
2.  Press Alt+F then R OR select file/run emulator in the menu (I believe there is support for both).
3.  Look for the romname passed via command line in the gamelist containted on the "Select ROM" window, select it and either press enter or double-click the selection.
4.  Press F8
5.  Exit itself, leaving the game running.

However it still annoys me that in this day and age people are still making emulators that don't support command-line options!  It's not like MAME and mame-cabs are the same obscure, unheard-of hobby that they were in the past.  EVERYBODY should know at this point that if you make an emulator people are going to want to launch from a front-end and thus you should add command line options, which, I might add are EASY to add!!!

  • Yeah, owning a MAME cab only leads to owning real ones. MAME just isn't good enough. It's a gateway drug.

And not just MAME cabs. I like to build console PCs for home theater setups that can run everything from a controller.

Does that wrapper still work on the latest version? Anyways there's also an authotkeyscript that works, click the link for more info

Also Ginsu,  when you make console pcs.. do you try to choose cases that make your pc  look more console-ish? I know my neighbor put his pc in a case that looks like it's part of a home entertainment center.  Can't tell it's a pc at all. Well, most people can't at least.
