Bravo. If this is truly full screen, does this mean the PrintScreen key still works, unlike in window mode? I may have to use this if I'm forced to get a 16:9 laptop in the future. :?

Now all you have to do is make the game smart enough to iconify and then regain focus without closing. :lol:

Unfortunately the print screen still produces garbage but you can capture using the screenshot button still (which may be a bit rough if you don't have multiple monitors). However I may be able to capture the print screen before PSO processes it and do a manual capture instead (such as the capture done with the screenshot button in the launcher).

You sir, gave me some work to do (again)! :D

At least right now it doesn't crash when regain focus and has it's own taskbar window (with icon) if you do Alt+Tab to something else. ;)

Off Topic: As you may know (or not) I'm now managing Palmacosta along with Didi and we accomplished so much in the past weeks. I wanted to ask if you'd be ok that we make your quests available in Palmacosta, if so, please send me a PM and we'll take it from there. :)

Just tried the latest version hoping maybe somehow it would finally launch through Steam, but now it just gives me a missing xinput1_4.dll error either way.

Classic mistake, why use the newer version of xinput when the older one works just fine?

Downgraded to xinput3_1.dll, please download the program again, and feel free to delete xinput4_1.dll from the program folder.

Thanks for reporting.

I noticed that while playing on an older computer running windows 7 that the game would not cover the task bar in full screen mode.

This small update fixes it.

Enjoy! :)

It's been a while and I finally got around to detecting controllers using DirectInput rather than XInput.

XInput is good for detecting Xbox 360 controllers and other Microsoft-ish stuff. DirectInput has a more wide range of devices it can detect.

Right now the search is limited to the kinds of "GamePad" and "Joystick". It seems to work well for most. But I know some controllers may report weird types, if you have issues, let me know and we can try to detect your type and add it to the detection routine.

You can download it on this link or any of the past links. :)

All the best!
