[SOLVED] BIG thank you and a question/problem with MAME

[Kanye's Bottle of Adderall]

Gameplay Crush, Hellstrong, etc.... first of all thank you guys SO much! The WindowedBorderlessGaming app rocks! Been using it on Elsword like gangbusters and it's ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ awesome.

But now I'm using it with MAME, and there's an issue. Although WBG works with mame, unfortunately it doesn't seem to save settings or inject into the emulator when closing and launching a new game. I am required to click the tray icon, go to add window, then click on the MAME window and press F3. Then I can adjust the settings and window position, etc. Problem is I have to do this every time MAME launches a rom. Even if I save the settings, WindowedBorderlessGaming app doesn't inject into a *new* instance of MAME. Can you suggest what I need to do to fix this problem?

Thanks again and keep up the good on making progress with WindowedBorderlessGaming app :)

can you paste the part from the config file you saved?

[Kanye's Bottle of Adderall]

Sure...OK here's an example. I launch the game Samurai Shodown III from within MAME. Add a new window, go to game settings, click "save" and here's what is says in the config ini(keep in mind, MAME is called "UME" in my case):

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

[Title:UME: Samurai Shodown III / Samurai Spirits - Zankurou Musouken (NGH-087) [samsho3h];Class:MAME]
Style=349110272
Process=ume64.exe
PosX=1020
PosY=65
Width=1920
Height=1080

It's probably a ever changing title in any case try this

[Class:MAME]
Style=349110272
Process=ume64.exe
PosX=1020
PosY=65
Width=1920
Height=1080

Hi GC and thanks for the reply. Your configuration works....but only partially. It saves the settings and remembers mame, but it doesn't automatically apply the settings(window position and size) upon launching the emulator. It requires me to manually open the game settings and click apply each time. Any other changes I should make? If you can sort this part out we're gravy! :)

[Gameplay Crush]

press F4 ;-)
I'm not entirely sure, but if i remember correctly i put in that trigger key especially for games that have ever changing titles.

[Kanye's Bottle of Adderall]

No luck pressing F4 :(

[Gameplay Crush]

Seems i was indeed wrong made a fix for it though i will upload it after i add another fix for some other users.
As for you if you open your config file add this to the top:

[Global_Config]
ForceKeyCheckTitle=never
ForceTriggerCheckTitle=always

This will make it work when you press F4
If you also put "never" at ForceTriggerCheckTitle it will work automatically but might cause some issuess with other games that have splash screens (although it is not likely to cause issuess)

Hi GC. I added that code to my config but pressing F4 still does nothing. My config looks like this:

[Global_Config]
ForceKeyCheckTitle=never
ForceTriggerCheckTitle=always
[Title:UME;Class:MAME]
Style=349110272
Process=ume64.exe
PosX=1020
Width=1920
Height=1080

[Gameplay Crush]

It will when i upload the update ;-)

[Kanye's Bottle of Adderall]

Thanks for the update man! OK here's what is happening....

Pressing F4 still does not work under the [[Title:UME;Class:MAME] string. I can still click apply, and it will proceed to set my res, position, etc, but pressing F4 does nothing. Here's the strange thing though....pressing F4 *DOES* work if I add a new window from a new game being run within UME. So if I'm playing Street Fighter and I add a new window, it will save and I can press F4 and it'll apply my settings. Problem is, we're back to square one where it only applies to that *specific* game(ie Street Fighter), not all games universally.

I tried setting both ForceKeyCheckTitle and ForceTriggerCheckTitle to never and always, and vice versa but no luck. I'll keep toying with it though....

[Gameplay Crush]

[[Title:UME;Class:MAME] should be [Title:UME;Class:MAME] there's a "[" too many.
But i thought the title would change and it should be [Class:MAME]

[Kanye's Bottle of Adderall]

The extra "[" was a typo in the steam post. It's correct in the config file ;)

[Gameplay Crush]

[Class:MAME] works?
