KEGA Fusion Emulator 3.64 - Fullscreen Doesn't Work and Controller No Longer Recognized

[Starwind Amada]

I'm running the KEGA Fusion emulator version 3.64 on Windows 10 but now I'm having problems. It won't go fullscreen, instead I get a message that says "Unable to set display mode." Also, my controller was working but now it doesn't. I can select USB controller but when I push the buttons to set them up nothing happens. It's like the emulator sees the controller but won't respond to it. There are no support options for the emulator and the developer is unreachable (plus I think the emulator is over a decade old).

As far as I remember, fullscreen only works below Windows 10 (or 8?). I tried to google it once and that's what it spat out. So you're out of luck with Win 10.

Which is weird because I'm using Windows 10 and fullscreen works for me, controller and all.

what are your pc specs, monitors max resolution and controller?

try setting full screen resolution to 1280x720.

i have a 1440p monitor and if set fullscreen to 2560x1440 i get error noise and only see a kega fusion window with a black background, if set it to 1920x1080 the image is cropped and can't see the full image, but if set to 1280x720 it works without issues.

idk about the controller issue. post a screenshot of your fusion configuration/controller window maybe it might help find the problem.

1280x720 didn't work. I have a Ryzen 3800X CPU and a Radeon RX5700 GPU.

I read online that if you go to Properties you have to do something under the Compatibility tab. I have no such tab.

you have to right click on the fusion.exe / application

I just downloaded BizHawk instead

The controller issue is easily worked around. Just install JoyToKey. It will intercept your joypad inputs and translate them to keyboard inputs. Highly configurable, you can even set and name different button mappings. For example, I have a _dumb and _none at the top. _dumb just maps e.g. ABXYLR... -> QWERTY... I use it for programs with configurable mapping. _none makes no mappings, so that I can have jtk open without it intercepting, and then I have a bunch of other random ones. It's easy to use and should work fine for your purposes. It's also a great way to tell if the dreaded windows controller bug is happening to you. That's the bug where a bunch of graphical applications refuse to launch until you unplug the controller, and then the OS stops being able to read your controller after you plug it back in until you shutdown and restart.

edit: Oh right, the site. This is their site. https://joytokey.net/en

One thing that annoys me about joytokey is that it opens the joytokey website whenever you launch the program. But hey, I have it on hand, so there you go.

Not to be confused with joy2key, which is a program for linux with a similar purpose, but lacking a GUI (you'd use qjoypad which is a Qt GUI wrapper for joy2key). There's also antimicro, which is apparently cross platform? I've yet to verify this.

edit 2: It is. So JoyToKey and AntiMicroX are both valid options for Windows. https://github.com/AntiMicroX/antimicrox/
