Dolphin always opening in the wrong screen

HI like the title says, how can i force it to open on my primary screen? using Dolphin normally you can fix it by starting the game in a window then dragging it to main screen then making it full screen again but there is no way to fix it with Retrobat because i can't force a window, any ideas?

Hello
Dolphin is one of the only emulators where there is no way to choose the monitor index from the settings.
So you have to move the window manually where you want it, then it should remain in position.

Thanks but there is no way to move the window in Retrobat, only in standalone outside of retrobat because you can't set the game to run in a window through the Retrobat settings and if you select it in the emulator itself it just defaults because Retrobat overwrites it

What you can do, is to start RetroBat windowed, using BatGui (at the root of your installation).
Then, you should be able to move the window.
Finally, go back to your standard resolution, and check if it's OK

Hi i tired this and it doesn't work.

Have you tried simply opening dolphin from the "Retrobat" menu and then moving dolphin to the desired screen? Once on the desired screen, close the emulator without pressing alt+F4 but with the dolphin menu.

Yes it makes no difference.

Yes it makes no difference.

Did you test by putting it in full screen and closing only afterwards (maybe also launch a game before closing)?

I tested and it works for me (after reboot as well), see if it stays like that over time.

press alt-gr+enter for switch to windowed, swap display, press alt-gr+enter for fullscreen, close with ESC

It works like that for all people
