Title: VirtuaNes o Nestopia settings ???
Post by: cangrejo on April 14, 2020, 07:06:33 AM

Hi everyboy.
I have a problem with virtuanes and Nestopia emulators and Attract Mode.
I can not launch the emulators full screen from AM... they always give me a mistake.
What is the correct settings for these emulators, -fullscreen "[romfilename]" doesn´t work :(
I hope your help.

Hello !

You can use RetroArch with the Nestopia core without problem :)

OK, but what is the best option to run NES with Attract Mode?

Did you use any search engine? (https://www.google.com/search?hl=de&source=hp&biw=&bih=&q=nestopia+fullscreen)

>Nestopia:
-use Nestopia UE / Undead Edition
-set Fullscreen by options (https://www.gameex.info/forums/topic/3543-fullscreen-setting-in-nestopia/?tab=comments#comment-20586)
-close Nestopia
-the parameter to start a romfile:
nestopia.exe "PATH_TO_ROMFOLDER\YOUR_ROMFILE.nes"

>VirtuaNES:
-the first time, you start a romfile manually, a file named "VirtuaNES.ini" is generated
-edit the file and search for LoadFullscreen=0
-change it to LoadFullscreen=1 and save
-the paramter to start a romfile:
VirtuaNES.exe "PATH_TO_ROMFOLDER\YOUR_ROMFILE.nes"

Hello !

With the Nestopia core of RetroArch it only takes one argument to launch your games & directly in fullscreen :) here is the argument:

Code: [Select]

executable           c:\attract\emulators\retroarch\retroarch.exe
args                 -L c:\attract\emulators\retroarch\cores\nestopia_libretro.dll "[romfilename]"
rompath              c:\attract\games\nes
romext               .nes
Obviously you have to adapt the path of your executable of your cores as well as your games with your configuration :) this is a simple example so that you understand how it works.

Greetings !

Thank you so much, all systems (NES, SMS Megadrive, SNES and MAME) work correctly :)

Now, I am going to try to configure PC-Engine and NEO-GEO  :P
