fullscreen batch

[carlos]

The window function for set the fullscreen is SetConsoleDisplayMode.
In windows 8 (after disable the display adapter), this function set a error ERROR_CALL_NOT_IMPLEMENTED.

I think that is better in windows 7 and 8 emulate the fullscreen setting the windows size to the max values.

Did you disable the graphic card in device manager? What happens? Does colour depth or resolution suffer?
Or just turn off graphic card acceleration?

Microsoft has a devcon.exe for download to control hardware from the command line.

yes, I have disabled the graphics card in device manager. The resolution go down at 800x600 32bit (i thinks that use the vgasave driver). I don't have an option for disabling/enabling acceleration.

I have tried devcon and work well. This work for current cmd too!

Thanks foxidrive!

I have a idea for do a best fullscreen emulation for windows 7 and 8.

Currently, I'm writing it.

Hi i have tested for perfomance a fullscreen mode(TEXTMODE) + fs 0.2

Code: Select all

@echo off & setlocal
rem fs 
mode con cols=80 lines=40
pause

rem prepare a file for type
type nul>%tmp%\dummy.txt
set L=
For /L %%n in (1,1,76) do call set L=%%L%%_
(For /L %%n in (10,1,46) do Echo(%%n%L%)>>%tmp%\dummy.txt

set count=10000

set t0=%time%

For /l %%n in (1,1,%count%) do cls

for /F "tokens=1-8 delims=:.," %%a in ("%t0: =0%:%time: =0%") do set /a "a=(((1%%e-1%%a)*60)+1%%f-1%%b)*6000+1%%g%%h-1%%c%%d, a+=(a>>31) & 8640000, cls_micros=a*10000/%count%"

set count=1000

set t0=%time%

For /l %%n in (1,1,%count%) do (cls&type %tmp%\dummy.txt)

for /F "tokens=1-8 delims=:.," %%a in ("%t0: =0%:%time: =0%") do set /a "a=(((1%%e-1%%a)*60)+1%%f-1%%b)*6000+1%%g%%h-1%%c%%d, a+=(a>>31) & 8640000, type_micros=a*10000/%count%-cls_micros"

set t0=%time%

For /l %%n in (1,1,%count%) do (cls&For /L %%n in (10,1,46) do Echo(%%n%L%)

for /F "tokens=1-8 delims=:.," %%a in ("%t0: =0%:%time: =0%") do set /a "a=(((1%%e-1%%a)*60)+1%%f-1%%b)*6000+1%%g%%h-1%%c%%d, a+=(a>>31) & 8640000, for_micros=a*10000/%count%-cls_micros"


echo cls: %cls_micros% micro-seconds
echo type: %type_micros% micro-seconds
echo echo: %for_micros% micro-seconds

pause

goto :eof

results: windows 7 32bit

Code: Select all

normal(GRAPHICS MODE):
cls: 124 micro-seconds
type: 5776 micro-seconds
echo: 4946 micro-seconds

fs v0.2(GRAPHICS MODE):
cls: 127 micro-seconds
type: 5703 micro-seconds
echo: 4963 micro-seconds


disable graphics card + fs v0.2 + ALT+ENTER (TEXT MODE):
cls: 448 micro-seconds
type: 2562 micro-seconds
echo: 2922 micro-seconds

disable graphics card + ALT+ENTER (TEXT MODE):
cls: 447 micro-seconds
type: 2573 micro-seconds
echo: 2963 micro-seconds

disable graphics card (GRAPHICS MODE) :
cls: 176 micro-seconds
type: 45724 micro-seconds
echo: 37744 micro-seconds

disable graphics card + fs v0.2 (GRAPHICS MODE):
cls: 174 micro-seconds
type: 47176 micro-seconds
echo: 39126 micro-seconds

Fullscreen mode(ALT+ENTER) /TEXTMODE is more powerful (than) graphics mode. (apart cls)
Use fs does not affect the performance.

ok since i cant make it fullscreen can i disable the close button

[foxidrive]

AFAIK the close button cannot be disabled.

[foxidrive]

admin care to explain?

Taken to PM

[carlos]

AFAIK the close button cannot be disabled.

foxidrive. It can be done.
The code is very simple.
I will post .
