if the game can't be sent to start in full screen mode then you can use the 'Wait Before Keys' and 'Keys To Send' options in the 'Advanced Emulator Setup' page to send Alt+Enter

In the 'Wait Before Keys' box enter a time in milliseconds e.g. 3000 is 3 seconds

In the 'Keys To Send' box type:

%{ENTER}

No when you start the game GameEx will wait 3 seconds then send Alt+Enter making the game fullscreen

I have tried, but it doesn’t work. The game starts to window and not in fullscreen. Maybe because %{ENTER} command is equivalent to Alt+Enter. Instead the game starts in fullscreen with ALT GR + ENTER keys.

The command ALT GR + ENTER, what is it referring to?

The game has realized with the M.U.G.E.N.

This is the link where download the game: http://www.hokutoproject.it/forum/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=180

Thanks

That is correct! That would be why it's not working. So just modify that sendkeys to accommodate what's required. By GR do you mean the letters G & R?

[Stu1983]

no he mean the alt key on the right hand side of the keyboard.. on some keyboards this is labeled as 'Alt Gr'

I'm not sure what the command is for this though

Ahhhh! Gotcha! In that case I don't see that key under the Send Keys Class and google didn't turn up anything for me either other than it's not supported so there will have to be a workaround. Either programatically or by using a 3rd party app. Is there no way of changing the key within this particular game?

GameEx doesn't use .NET's built in SendKeys API; it's actually a port of a C++ class I did.

If you check out GameEx\CONFIG\EMULATORS\SendKeys.htm you can see it has the ability to send custom Virtual Keycodes.

The left and right alt keys are called VK_LMENU and VK_RMENU. Their values are 0xA4 (164) and 0xA5 (165) respectively.

You can send VK_RMENU using {VKEY 165}. Unfortuantely there is no way to hold down a non-modifier key and only VK_MENU ('%') is supported as a modifier.

The only way around it would be to write a script in AutoHotkey to press the key combo. Under it's KeyList it says

LAlt - the left Alt key

RAlt - Note: If your keyboard layout has AltGr instead of RAlt, you can probably use it as a hotkey prefix via <^>! as described here. In addition, "LControl & RAlt::" would make AltGr itself into a hotkey.

So that might be worth a try.
