Fullscreen Video Recording Issue #260

Closed ScraperMan2002 closed 1 year ago

ScraperMan2002 commented 1 year ago

When I use my video recorder (Xbox Game Bar) to record the gameplay in fullscreen, all it records is a black blank screen with the white menu bar. Why is this happening? Proof Bad Recording

bsnes wants to support running in a window with a menu-bar, etc. It also wants to support exclusive full-screen mode to minimise input latency. Unfortunately, Windows does not allow bsnes to switch between windowed and full-screen-exclusive mode, so when you switch to full-screen mode, bsnes creates a whole other window and makes that exclusive instead.

If you're telling your capture software "capture this window" and pointing at the window with the menu-bar, that's not the window that shows the game in full-screen mode.

If you're telling your capture software "capture the output of this monitor" and it still doesn't work, I'm not sure what else you can try.

Issue is resolved. Thank you.

Actually, one more question: Could you please change the bsnes to "focus" on this new fullscreen tab when it comes to windows?

Basically, what I mean is that when an application is "focused" that means that it is in use. For example: Google Chrome. When it is "not focused" (you click on a place that isn't the application or you open up a minimized application), you can see all the black font on its tabs to switch to a slightly greyer color. When you click on a Google Chrome tab again, it becomes "focused". Could you make it so that when you use fullscreen mode again you "focus" on this new fullscreen tab?
