Noob question (sorry): full screen when a game is opened?

Post by VeganWithaYoYo »

Hi guys, huge apologies for asking something like this, but I'm setting up a new computer with VBA-M and I'm not seeing the option to switch to full screen when I open a game. It's been a little while since I was emulating GBA games, but I don't remember having to toggle full screen after opening a game on my old computer. Could someone point me to where the option is?

if you alt f4 to exit, the window will be fullscreen next time you start.

Hmm... not sure that'd be quite right for what I want to do; always being in fullscreen would be great if there was a menu in fullscreen, but since I've read several posts that the fullscreen menu's not coming back any time soon, I'm hoping there's another way.

 

I basically want to be able to use the menu when a game isn't open, and then have the game go straight into fullscreen with no menu without having to press Escape. It's an option in FCEU-X for NES emulation... is it not one on VBA-M?

 

If not, pressing Escape isn't the end of the world, but it's a step I wouldn't mind skipping.

Fair enough. I created a new thread in Suggestions, and I'll keep my fingers crossed for future versions. Thanks for the help [img]<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/smile.png[/img]/emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20" />
