MAME Dual Light Gun Shooter in Virtua Cop 2 Cabinet

--- Quote from: mike boss on April 08, 2011, 07:21:03 am ---I think many of the games are indeed duplicates. The reason for the multi system set up was to perhaps find an emulator with better support of an individual game. For example I was told in MAME some games like House Of The Dead wont play correctly. However in M2 they play flawless. So adding M2 gives you the ability to play perhaps one of the best known gun games. Visually (and keep in mind I do plan on selling this cabinet) it makes for what reads like a more impressive cabinet. Also should a buyer want to add additional controls entire ROM sets are on the computer.
I've always sorta been a media wh0re of sorts. And even on my "altered" XBOX consoles I "HAD TO" have every emulator I could with every ROM I could. Something very cool (to me anyway) about having the ability to play one of your old time favorites regardless of what it is or what system its on.
PROJECT UPDATE :
Cabinet is cosmetically about done. Needs a good cleaning & the coin door needs a coat or two of black paint.
I have no decided yet on weather or not I want to go with side art.
26" Samsung TV has been purchased, tested, and working great. It's a widescreen LCD.
PC needs a new video card, which I have. It will also need more RAM which I am yet to get.
As far as the PC goes I've done the following :
MAME - working perfect.
NES - working perfect, solved my ESCAPE issue
SNES - working perfect
SEGA MASTER SYSTEM - working perfect, resolved my ESCAPE issue + full screen issue
SEGA 32X,GENESIS - not loading games
PLAYSTATION - not loading games
M2 - working outside of MaLa - needs an upgraded video card. In MaLa the games wont load
DREAMCAST (Chankast) - this is going to be my tuffest challenges. Gotta figure out the mounting of images.

You can do nearly all of that on an old Xbox with light guns.
mike boss:
I didn't know the old XBOX had a lightgun. I have 6 old XBOX consoles, all of which have been "altered" and feature an extensive list of emulators and ROM sets.
I'll look into that in the near future.
For now I'm trying to finalize this PC so I can begin to work on the Aim Trak guns.
Here are a few videos of the Layout @ work, including a new custom menu for House Of The Dead 1 & 2 (PC versions).
For now I still need to work on the Null DC emulator as games are not loading. I feel I will have much better luck with Null vs Chankast. Chakast has been giving me a heck of a time. The PS1 emulator is working ,but not playing all my ISO files. SSF (Sega Saturn) will also need work, as will M2 which does not play in MaLa but does outside of MaLa.

It would really help some of us out if we had a list of all your lightgun games. I've always wondered if I missed some.

I'm following you around answering your questions today.
All the MAME ones are covered in the Aimtrack manual.

Other than MAME, there's.....
Nebulas Sega Model 2 emulator:
Virtua Cop
Virtua Cop 2
House of the Dead
*Behind Enemy Lines
*GunBlade NY
*Rail Chase2
(*mounted gun games, but they'll work with Aimtrack. No go with Act Labs guns)
Demul:
Ranger Mission
Confidential Mission
Extreme Hunting
Extreme Hunting 2
House of the Dead 2
Lupin the Third
Maze of the Kings
Sport Shooting USA (crashes after calibration for me)
Death Crimson OX
Almost all the console games were just inferior ports of the arcade ones, so I've never bothered with them.
Time Crisis for playstation might worth it.
I would like to see a list for them, just to know what was released.
There have been a lot of light gun questions lately. (and I always jump in, lol)
I've been thinking about making a light gun info thread like the driving cab info thread.
Maybe I'll get around to it on a rainy day.
If one of the other light gun enthusiasts wants to go ahead and start one, I'll contribute what I know.
