Sega Hikaru"Demul" - Fullscreen with Autohotkey

[arikafgc]

hello everyone.

I was looking for a way to run Sega Hikaru games fullscreen through Demul in fullscreen so I used this settings -run=hikaru -rom=[name] but always end up having the screen to play on windowed mode  .

Thankfully a user that goes by Bgoulette made our life much easier by making a batch file "dfs.bat" and generated an autohotkey script "demul_full_screen.ahk" that allows you to run naomi games on demul in fullscreen by adding them both inside the emulator folder.

Bgoulette's Topic "demul full screen improvements":
http://forum.attractmode.org/index.php?topic=2669
So I used both of his batch and script and applied it on demul to run Sega Hikaru games.

Batch file (dfs.bat):

Code: [Select]

@echo off
"C:\Program Files\AutoHotkey\AutoHotkey.exe" demul_full_screen.ahk %1
AHK script (demul_full_screen.ahk):

Code: [Select]

#SingleInstance, force
SetTitleMatchMode, 1

; Move the mouse to the bottom right:
MouseMove % A_ScreenWidth, A_ScreenHeight, 0

; Display a single image as a SplashImage:
SplashImage, pixel.gif, b w%A_ScreenWidth% h%A_ScreenHeight% x0 y0 zw%A_ScreenWidth% zh%A_ScreenHeight%

RomName := A_Args[1]
Run %ComSpec% /c "demul.exe -run=hikaru -rom=%RomName%", , Hide

; When demul.exe loads a rom, its title changes to a string beginning with gpuDX11hw
WinWaitActive, gpuDX11hw, , 3
Send !{Enter}
SplashImage, Off
return

#IfWinActive, ahk_exe demul.exe
    Esc::
    WinClose, A
    ExitApp

#IfWinActive
And the results was fascinating

Only two games worked well in fullscreen
1- Air Trix
2- Brave FireFighters 

The other 3 games got blackscreen:
3- Planet Harrier
4- Nascar Racing
5- Star Wars: Racer Arcade

Anyone knows how to make these 3 games to work because we are almost done on solving Demul's fullscreen issue that we all faced long time ago I just need everyone's support to close this one.

If this issue got resolved other Demul systems such as Cave CV1000 & Gaelco will be resolved as well.
