Better Full Screen Support.

Issue #1012 new
Former user created an issue

BigBox come very close to a perfect HTPC / Controller-only Experience. Is the other Stuff A.K.A Emulators that's problematic.

Such as: No Native Fullscreen Game Launching Option, No standard Key for Fullscreen, mostly Alt+Enter, F11, or something weird like Alt+Ctrl+F.....

As version 6.2 on Windows 10:

You can't use the automatic exit function that come with BigBox, if the fullscreen mode is just the built-in F11 option, such as Higan.

And for emulator such as DeSmuME, you can only do Alt+Enter, once you loaded the game, on it's windowed mode.

And for emulator like Visualboy Advances -M although you can do Alt+Enter once, and close it with Alt + F4, "to Set it to start with fullscreen", There nothing you can do to change it back to fullscreen with a controller, if for some reason, it start as windowed mode.

Not to mention some emulators support command-line parameters for fullscreen, and some don't.

if would be nice if we can map controller hotkey to trigger fullscreen mode specific to each emulator in launchbox, sense different Emulator like to do things their way.

Personally, at this point, I don't really seen any reason to use Rocket Launcher with LaunchBox, if LaunchBox is being use in a Desktop Environment, with Keyboard and Mouse, but for HTPC Environment Using BigBox. Controller Only is Critical to many of us. And because how Rocket Launcher can handle full-screen stuff better, it become a must.

LaunchBox is truly wonderful. and Thanks all the Hard work to bring us all this amazing software.
