| wiimote as a light gun (another try) |
| (1/5) > >> |
| Valken:
some times ago I've tried to configure my wiimote to work in MS windows, just to use it as a light gun with mame. I've desisted after a few hours because of the lack of a software that could detect the wiimote like a plug'n play device (glovepie was too long to configure for my taste), the inaccuracy of the pointer (using glovepie) and last but not least, the absence of a "real" light gun shape, wiimote. Well, now I've found a user friendly software that detect my wiimote "on the fly" and seems enough accurate (using sensor bar) in desktop use, at about 1,5 -2 meters discance from the monitor (you can find it at this url http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum-replies.cfm?t=1192317). I've also found a really badass (machine) gun with wiimote and nunchuk integrated... ... There's only one problem: the wiimote is not recognized by mame (probably because of the raw imput detection method used by the emulator)... So I'm here to ask your help to solve the problem; any suggestion will be appreciated ----------------UPDATE--------------- I've tried it with an old version of mame that supports direct input and it works (quite) well: the pointing accuracy is not bad... the "feel" It's almost the same as using wiimote with a real wii to play on rail games. Unfortunatly, wiimote buttons are not recognized by MAME; so, the controller works only as a pointing device. |

This is the gun I'm thinking about. All integrated, but still works exactly like a wiimote. http://www.amazon.com/Wii-Crossfire-Integrated-Remote-Pistol-Nintendo/dp/B002ISZB4M/ref=sr_1_15?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1288828259&sr=1-15 |

That Uzi looks cool, but I highly suspect it will be painful to play most gun games with. Most games utilize a pistol, which has a short barrel. If you use a longer barrel (especially one that's heavier), you will wear your arms out VERY quickly. If you use it how the actual gun is designed to be used, you won't be able to hit targets on faster movement games and will significantly handicap yourself IMO. |
