Official release thread for WindowCast core

This didn’t work for SoRR game!

Are you using the keyboard or a controller? I tried the game and the controls worked fine.

Using a Xbox wireless gamepad !

Have you tried to use the keyboard? If the keyboard is set in controls for player 1 than a controller won’t work.

Yes, the control is enabled and working normally outside of Retroarch. Keyboard doesn’t work either.

Not sure if this is necessary but disabling Pause Content When Not Active and in the Menu seemed to help in my case.

This core is truly amazing @IHQMD! You’ve breathed new life into my entire retro games library and more!

Thanks a mil!

I would suggest trying that. I set mine to pause when not active and it didn’t work. When I tried earlier it was set to off.

I tried this option, but unfortunately it didn’t work. I also tried window mode and full screen, no success!

Could someone give more configuration details? Which controller are you using (Wired or wireless)? Are you using one or two monitors? Operating System Version?

I have Windows 10 with three monitors and a wired 360 styled controller.

Tried my PS4 controller wirelessly and it worked fine as well.

Nothing yet! SoRR Game does not recognize the control with WindowsCast core running together, not for me :angry: I’ll let people try the core more often and maybe find the solution!

I think a couple people in this thread had mentioned multiple monitors. Maybe having the target window un-minimized on a second screen is the key?

Don’t the instructions explicitly say that the window can’t be minimized? In any case, requiring a second display would keep a lot of users from being abler to use this core.

Right… I don’t keep it minimized, but it goes to the background when you bring up RA. Not sure why this would affect it, but just trying to think of things common to the people that aren’t having problems. Yes… I also only run one monitor these days.

There are some instances where I did that with Google Chrome but it crashed Retroarch, so I definitely wouldn’t recommend it.

I suggest that if you have multiple monitors to place the captured window on one and Retroarch on the other. Just turn off the one being captured.

I thought to post my partials.txt file:

Guys, I Got it! :star_struck:

But I had to go against the recommendations. I went back to the default setting in the Nvidia control panel. According to the README the recommendation is: “Open the Nvidia Control Panel. In the “Manage 3D Settings” tab, change the option “Vulkan/OpenGL present method” to “Prefer layered on DXGI Swapchain”.”

In my case, it was making me unable to get the window controls right. Now the gamepad is working!!

CTRL + ALT+T Toggle allows to configure Retroarch without input commands to the game in the background. :wink:

I find it crazy, that I haven’t updated my Graphics since April of 2022, currently doing, and everything works fine. The recommended setting didn’t exist until later.
