Integrates better with your desktop - Alt-Tab, TaskBar, popup errors, etc.Always uses your LCD display's optimal resolution (assuming you have it set in the desktop as such, and you should).Works with any GS plugin, regardless of how the GS plugin is implemented.No more risk of visual corruption or crashes, and no need to shutdown the emulator to avoid them.Like anything there's some advantages and disadvantages to this new approach: Instead of using what Microsoft DirectX calls Exclusive Mode (you can read about the programmer-centric details of it here), we're taking a more modern approach and using a special type of maximized desktop window instead.
In 0.9.7 we've completely re-done our approach to fullscreen.
#Pcsx2 full screen drivers#
In DX10 things were better: alt-enter typically works a couple times, but do it too often, or get an unlucky flip, and it'll still result in lost or corrupted video and possibly a crash depending on video drivers and (lack of) luck.
Hitting alt-enter is usually less forgiving (the plugin handles it, and doesn't allow PCSX2 to completely shut everything down and restart). In 0.9.6 the situation was grim: The flip never really worked right in DX9 - there's an "escape hack" that completely shuts down the emulator just to flip out of fullscreen mode. This was something we really sought to address as we re-write the user interface in 0.9.7. One problem that has plagued PCSX2 since as long as most anyone can remember is it's general inflexibility and instability when flipping between windowed and fullscreen modes.
