I spent waaaayyyy too much time configuring mame in Retroarch before deciding on this control panel + joypad configuration. This is just my first go-around with Launchbox and evenВ Retroarch (outside of making a few Raspberry Pi builds in the past), so I'm learning as I go. Changing to standalone emulators for all the systems Retroarch does, in order to still use MAME in retroarch seems a strange way around of doing things to me.ДЄnd you are not wrong, man.

It sounds like the easiest thing for you to do is just use the standalone MAME for Arcade, and just use Retroarch for everything else. Version 2.1.3 I downloaded it when I made the last post, took about a minute to set up and works fine in Launchbox.

Thank you so much for the reply and consideration! 1.8.0 a shot as well, but unable to find an option that helps.ДЄlso tried BatGBA 2.24b, but found no permanent fullscreen option. I've also tried the original VisualBoyAdvance v 1.8.0-beta 3. Thinking on it now though, I'm unsure a AHK will solve my problem completely as I'm hoping to have this system without a mouse or keyboard and solely controlled by the joysticks and joypads in the future. I tried the AHK, but unfortunately received this error: So, worst case scenario, I may scrap GBA from this setup until some point in the future. I found KIGB works well for all GB systems except the Gameboy Advance. At this point, I'm willing to lose pause menu options in favor of simply an emulator that remains fullscreen with few issues. The options refer to color depth, device, resolution, and refresh rate. I have VisualBoyAdvance-M v 2.0.0, and under Options > Video there is only a 'Select fullscreen mode.' option here and it does not allow you to auto-start in fullscreen, nor open games in fullscreen. I'm curious which version you tried, because at this point I'll go for it.В I'm desperate for a 'start in fullscreen' checkbox at this point, haha! Would autohotkey provide any potential results? Is there a resource that I could learn more about this?ДЄlso, I hope this is the right section to be asking! Thanks for anyone's time or recommendations. I've tried using -f-4, and even grasping at straws and using -fullscreen and suchВ within command line parameters, but this simply gives me an error.

I've tried exiting a game in fullscreenВ with alt+f4, and although this causes the next game to open in fullscreen - once you escape from a game in Launchbox, you're back to a small window. So, for Gameboy and various nintendo handhelds, VisualBoyAdvance-M is the recommended emulator, but unfortunately I am having great difficulty finding a way to make this program open in fullscreen and stay that way. For simplicity on the user, I've decided to only use emulators that have been found to work with Launchbox's pause menu (using the main Googledoc as a reference: ). So, instead I split things up into various emulators instead. The long story is that I began my Launchbox adventure attempting to build a system simply with Retroarch, but when I decided I wanted arcade games to play with an arcade control panel but have console and handheld games control with joypads, I found it difficult (if not impossible) to configure it in a way that would see various cores use various controllers in the Player 1 position. I'm new to Launchbox and trying to put something together for a friend. Hello all, just looking to see if anyone has an answer to a problem I've had.
