No main GUI in batch mode

[Aethyrion]

Hi, when I launch a game in batch mode (-b, from a launcher) the main GUI window is nowhere to be found, only the game window is available. How can I bring it back to access the menu?

Same issue when I enable "Render to main window" (with batch mode): the menu and tool bars are not displayed.

Thanks for your help.

This is intentional. Batch mode is supposed to be GUI-less as it is meant for something like a "couch" gaming experience.

If you want the GUI, don't use batch mode.

Thank you for replying.

According to the documentation, batch mode is only supposed to close all GUIs when exiting emulation, see command line usage: "/b, --batch Exit Dolphin with emulator".

I'm pretty sure that some previous revisions were working that way.

I don't really want the main GUI, I'm only looking for a way to modify some settings after launching a game from a launcher. The standard mode (without batch) is not a solution because Dolphin is not terminated when game emulation is stopped, so the launcher doesn't detect the closing of the game.

Seems like you are using an older version of Dolphin.  The newer versions state:

The only way to change settings without the GUI is to use a text editor to make changes to an ini file.  This is an advanced feature.  I have most of my games setup where I have game-specific inis defined.  So when I launch a game from the launcher, those specific settings take effect.  There's a wiki for that here.
