Daphne Singe Setup?
« on: December 07, 2015, 09:07:36 pm »
Hello all! Just bought two Aimtrak guns and am having trouble getting a couple things setup. For American laser games running in Daphne Singe (through hyperspin) it is launching in the wrong resolution (way too large for my screen). Does anybody know how to change the settings for Singe??

Well I answered my own question on the resolution issue which is now resolved :applaud: (http://www.hyperspin-fe.com/topic/2139-complete-guide-for-american-laser-gameswow-actionmax-in-hypespin-and-hl3/?hl=+singe%20+resolution)

However now I am having issues setting controls. My aimtrak gun is normally perfectly calibrated but is all over the place and not usable in singe. Any thoughts on how to calibrate controls for this emulator??

Go Into each game script file and ONLY change the word full screen to fullscreen_window

I don't think any Singe games support 2 players though.

Example for Drug Wars:

cd data
cls
@daphne.exe singe vldp -x 800 -y 600 -fullscreen -noserversend -framefile singe/drugwars/frame-drugwars-cdrom.txt -script singe/drugwars/cdrom-drugwars.singe

Change to:

cd data
cls
@daphne.exe singe vldp -x 800 -y 600 -fullscreen_window -noserversend -framefile singe/drugwars/frame-drugwars-cdrom.txt -script singe/drugwars/cdrom-


Do that for every game
Hope that helps

I am having the exact same problem.  My screen is zoomed quite a bit and justified to the far right instead of being in the center with black bars on each side.  Does anyone know what could be causing this?  I checked the .bat files and they appear to have the correct info in them per the post above mine.  Are there commands that will center the screen?  Thanks.

Got a fix for you guys! I had the EXACT same issue. Screen too large using "fullscreen_window".

This is what I did to fix it. The machine I am using to run my cab is an old Microsoft Surface Pro 2 (works like a champ BTW) and the display mode was set to "Duplicate Windows"....Within your Display Settings, don't duplicate the window, but only show the display you are using. In my case that was my LCD screen on the cab. Doing this made Singe correct itself and the guns were good to go! So to recap.

  • Don't Duplicate Displays, Show Desktop on only on your main display
  • Add the "fullscreen_window" code
  • Praise the arcade gods!

this is the screen in Windows 7


Good Luck!
