Hellllloooool!
Hoping that someone who can help will see this. I’ve been in the process of building this USB2Gun cabinet for a looooong time. I’ve had major health issues including being in a coma and the surgeon telling my wife they’ve done all they can for me but she needs to prepare herself for the fact that I’m probably not going to pull through. Then a week in ICU, 5 blood transfusions, months in a wheelchair…crazy and scary stuff. It’s been a long and difficult road back from there unfortunately, but I am still here!
Anyway, that’s sort of why things have taken me so long to get to this project done. Having this cabinet has been a dream for many many years and I’m GOING TO DO IT! With the help of user Jollywest (whom I can’t get ahold of at the moment), I have gotten my cab to the point where I have only two sets of issues remaining.
1. Calibration. I don’t even understand where I am supposed to go to calibrate. I know that each game supposedly has it’s own through F2, but is there a master calibration I am supposed to do first? If so, where would I find that and what do I do when I get there?
2. Recoil and screen flash duration through Mamehooker. I am using the version of the board that has the jamma connector so it has a different VID and PID than the one Jollywest was using (and different from the one that came in the America’s Army cab). I was able to locate the VID and PID but I have no idea how to enter that into the Mamehooker defaul ini file and what I am supposed to do with it. I tried following the instructions in this thread but I’m sure I got it wrong because it didn’t work. I’m way out of my depth on this.
I’ve tried to attach a couple of shots I took trying to show the VID and PID for my board as well as what I tried to enter into the default ini for Mamehooker but the files are too big. Here is a Dropbox link to the screen caps. I don’t know what I’m doing!
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/y0pvwvcbyjus1y6/AACb5MdA8A1I9BcdCog2jl6Ta?dl=0This cabinet has been one of the great goals that I have had for myself to complete and when I got out of the hospital I told my wife I was going to finish this and finally have my dream machine one way or another no matter what. Can anyone help explain to me how to get this done? I’m SO CLOSE. I can play everything but my guns don’t shoot on the sides of the screen, the recoil doesn’t work, and I want to shorten the screen flash.
Thanks so much to anyone who can help me out!!! I really sincerely would appreciate help in finally finishing this project! I also want to show my wife that I’m not full of it and that I can get it done! 😁
