Fullscreen on 2nd display

01-05-2010, 09:12 AM #1

Forgive me if this was covered already (a simple redirect will suffice) but was wondering if there was a way to set dolphin to full screen on a secondary display. I am trying to run this on a TV thats 480i but when i hit the full screen it goes to my primary monitor. I have pulled the window over to the 2nd (TV) and hit full screen but it still does it. Now obviously if i set my TV to 1st it will do it but, thats just not acceptable!

Either i missed an option completely somewhere or its buried in some sort of configuration file where i can choose the monitor.

Any ideas?

thanks in advance!

Ok, this thread is very old, so I'll push it up, because I have the same question...

I connected my laptop to a TV via HDMI as second screen. When I switch to fullscreen, it's ever displayed on my Laptop-Screen, either if the window is currently at the Laptop-Screen or the TV.

Is there any solution yet?

Best regards,
Chris

You have to move dolphin to the other screen and maximize it then go into fullscreen.

Other solution (for windows):
like me, use Ultramon (very good for dual screen x86/x64 - freeware for personal use) and invert screen 1 & 2 before launch dolphin, fullscreen will be on screen 2 Wink

Thank you, I got it to work now. I had to disable the fullscreen at start, then maximize the emulator window at the second screen and then go fullscreen.

But it would be more nice, if dolphin would recognize the wanted screen itself with the position of the main emulator window, maybe this can be a suggestion for the future...
