Access to FSE switch

[idkpmiller]

Is there a way that I can request PVRx2 when operating in Full screen exclusive mode to go to shared mode?

I would like to check to see if FSE was set if it was set it to shared then lauch the emulators from gamezone. after emulator finishes then I could set it back to FSE mode.

Is this possible? Do I need Sub to expose some feature for me to exploit?

That could benefit me as well with the Netflix plugin. I don't think it's possible though.

Unfortunately I dont think there is anything easy I can do. I have looked into it in the past.

I'm sure I could come up with something, but it'd need to wait until I've got a bit more spare time available.

Is there a keystroke combination which allows switching between FSE and windowed mode? If so, it could be faked by a direct call to OnKeyDown() from within the plugin.

Also, as we were recently discussing GetClientIdentifier(), I see it just returns "VMR" for either VMR9 Fullscreen or VMR9 Custom etc. Could you easily tweak that to return a specific mode?

Or am I talking out of my ear?

I am open to suggestions, if it means I need to wait for the next release then so be it!
I think as we go forward this may be something that is useful my reseach has led me to believe that this is catered for with <cough> MCE.

If you stay in windowed mode, Alt-ENTER toggles between full screen and windowed.

You asked...

The only thing I could think of when I ran across this problem was to have GB-PVR start a secondary program. That secondary program posts a WM_QUIT to GB-PVR, then starts the program you really wanted to launch (the emulator in this case). The secondary program then waits for the intended program(the emulator) to end, then restarts GB-PVR and exits.
Not a great solution, but it does work.

Although this would work the user experience wouldn't be very good, as when returning to GBPVR they would need to reenter the plugin and navigate back to another emulator/game. certainly an idea not one I am thinking of pursuing at this time.

I could swear there was a commend line to launch GBPVR and have it automatically go into a plugin... but I can't find it.

Is there any way to do that?

Command line options are here on the wiki...

-direct "plugin name" should do this.
