DarthMarino mentioned that it worked for off screen reloading. If so, then that's a very happy side effect since I didn't know if it'd do that since my mouse cannot leave the screen to do that. For mouse (topguns etc) users, I was going to write a pixel border around the screen to emulate an off screen reload since you'll not really going to know if shot off screen or on screen by a couple of pixels at the edge. That should be pretty easy to do. With a mouse, I can click in any extreme edge of the window and it does not alt-tab out to desktop... I'd love some feedback when people get a chance to try it. --- End quote --- I tried all 5 supported games on the new version and had no issues with any on my Aimtrak. Offscreen reload was fine on the games that use it. Great little program. Can you also add Behind Enemy Lines? I finally got it working on the latest version of the emulator. |

I don't have all the Roms, so you can tell me if it's working :D Could you post a Youtube video of it working with your gun setup for me? I'm looking to buy a couple of guns for my mame'd TMNT cabinet and would love feedback and setup of your cabinet? Plus I really wanna see the off screen reload working :) I had 15mins spare at the office so I remote desktop logged in to home and added the support and re-uploaded it. Here is V0.4 with Behind Enemy Lines added to the rest of the list above. Click File>download... https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B-P3wlCiYEm3dml1b0M3U2ZPdzQ Ramjet |

Hey Ramjet, excellent work. Just some feedback for you. The Aimtrak guns do register as a mouse, or since I have 2 of them I guess it is mice. In model2 shooting offscreen to reload has always worked for me, you just really had to be aiming way off screen when you pulled the trigger. The problem for me always came when I was rushed. If you were in a hurry with lots of bad guys/zombies on the screen and you didn't get the gun far enough away from the screen (too close to the border) when trying to reload, the screen would minimize and it was basically game over. I am excited about adding your program. I might actually get to finish one of these games now!! Thanks. EDIT: I have it installed and it plays flawlessly. I purposely tried shooting the edges of my screen and I could not get it to fail. Excellent work Ramjet!! Now one additional question about this. Would there be a command you could enter to close this? I would like to have my front end send the command to close this when I close the M2 emulator. |

I'm really happy it's working for everyone and appears to be a robust solution. Do you have both Aim Tracks set up to be 2 players in M2? I haven't setup my front end I'm going to use yet, so I'm still struggling like a newb trying to get my head around Hyperspin. So I haven't yet coded anything into the program to deal with how it may be launched. I've written some basic LUA scripts for M2Emulator to automatically launch the RamjetM2Borderless program on the start of the game which works great... then have my program auto close when it no longer see's M2Emulator as an running process. It actually used to autoclose when I originally wrote it, but in testing I had to keep double clicking it manually till I wrote the LUA script to launch it for me. I'm happy to do this and add the funtions if you can help me test it. Like I say, I don't yet use a front end. I've been looking for a complete hard drive dump of a Custom WinXP with Hyperspin and roms already setup online for me to just clone and go.... I'm actually putting together some old hardware (Intel Pentium D 3Ghz, 4Gb Ram and a 7900GT 512Mb) to use for my mame cabinet right now. Ramjet |

I tried without it and almost immediately I would run into issues. Again, excellent work. |
