PPSSPP 0.9.9.1 Fullscreen / Settings Not Saving in Ubuntu

[bowenwr]

I'm running PPSSPP 0.9.9.1 on Ubuntu 14.04.1 and the emulator loads fine and runs games. I was able to configure a controller and it saves that. Great! But every time I click full screen, it works, but when I exit the emulator and load again it's back to windowed mode!

I've tried a couple of things. I tried editing ~/.config/ppsspp/PSP/SYSTEM/ppsspp.ini

I could not find any "FullScreen" or any variants in the initial ini file, so I added some under [Graphics].

I added the option FullScreen = True per:

(not hyperlinked as it looks like I don't have permission)

forums.ppsspp.org/showthread.php?tid=4367

It didn't matter, so I also tried FullScreenOnLaunch = True per:

github.com/hrydgard/ppsspp/issues/3060

I also tried "true" with lowercase and "Fullscreen" with a lowercase "s" same result. I also tried running ppsspp as sudo, same result. One note, I can see what appears to be an error when launching and trying to save settings. Although it specifically says it's able to save the settings.

Code:

OpenGL 2.0 or higher. 16:01:779 Core/Config.cpp:806 I[LOAD]: Loading controller config: /home/emu/.config/ppsspp/PSP/SYSTEM/controls.ini Pixels: 960 x 544 Virtual pixels: 960 x 544 I: /home/karen/Development/ppsspp-release/native/gfx_es2/gl_state.cpp:130: I: GPU Vendor : Intel Open Source Technology Center ; GL version str: 3.0 Mesa 10.1.3 ; GLSL version str: 1.30 W: /home/karen/Development/ppsspp-release/native/file/file_util.cpp:200: W: IsDirectory: stat failed on 22:59:464 Core/Config.cpp:867 I[LOAD]: Config saved: /home/emu/.config/ppsspp/PSP/SYSTEM/ppsspp.ini 22:59:466 Core/Config.cpp:879 I[LOAD]: Controller config saved: /home/emu/.config/ppsspp/PSP/SYSTEM/controls.ini

It's a relatively minor thing, but I use an emulator front-end and try not to keep a keyboard connected to the mini PC, so I'd like to make it seamless if possible.

Anyone that could provide any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Thanks. Sorry, I couldn't find in the rules where to appropriately post help requests and it looked like people were doing it in general.

when something like this happens in Windows, its a sign that the resolution the program is trying to switch to has problems in 3D mode, doesnt even exist for example, so when trying to set that mode it fails and starts in windowed mode instead. Force 32bit and 60hz everywhere for 3d modes, or/and make sure it isnt switching to 2540 x 1400 @ 16bit @ 120Hz or something like that. Judging from my experiences with Linux - good luck figuring all that out.

two unrelated examples:
-game is trying to set 1024x768x16bit and the driver only knows 1024x768x32bit = fail
-game is trying to set "max res" and the driver has them all registered up to IMAX size = fail
