I'm not sure I understood it right, but you can try this joined file (unpack, backup and replace existing file in \data\acroarts\2D\ subfolder of LGI game folder
It's a modified version of the no-crosshair file I've made, but only "non shoot crosshair" icons were removed

Many thanks, that's it, but changing this file the "you can shoot" crosshair is visible. I would like both crosshairs ("you can yoot" and "you can't shoot") hidden.
Also, what do yo use to modify this type of files?
Ok i checked and it's true, original patch only removed "you can shoot" crosshair and it was in fact a deliberate choice ! Totally forgot about this !
I updated the link with an all-removed crosshair patch : Mirror 1

Thanks for the clarification. I don't understand how to run DemulShooter through the commandline. Is there a video or walkthrough with images, I'm a visual learner lol.  Also I use Launchbox to run my games, could I, in theory, enter the command line argument under that?
Well...no I've not made any video like this. Right now I can only encourage you to check some vgenerals vids on the internet for DOS commands
To be short, and let's imagine you got Demulshooter unzipped in C: :
1) Open a DOS terminal (command line prompt)
2) Write and execute cd C:\DemulShooter to navigate to DemulShooter folder
3) Write and execute demulshooter.exe -target=demul07a -rom=confmiss for example to run demulshooter for "Confidential Mission"

As for LaunchBox, I don't know how this is working but there often a way to run autohokey script or things like that to run other program with a rom

  • I want to build my own arcade controls!
TeknoParrot 0.6 Public is out !!

Support Sega Dream Raiders.

Developer said,

- NOTE: You need to patch the PE header so it loads always on ImageBase 0x400000.
- I tried on various OS and some always had problem when ImageBase was non-standard.
- So for maximum compatibility just patch the PE header one time and play.
- NOTE: Enter test menu first to disable motion, blower and controller feedback!

I don't know about PE header patch. So I could not run sega dream riders :-[
exe file is in SDR\prg\game.exe  and  when I failed to run game via DumbJVSManager.exe, I have to kill game.exe proccess to excute next time.

Is there anyone succeeded to run this game?  Help me plz

 :)

use this patcher : mega:#!FcpG2Roa!hg6Y2CRVctdXrgD7rnivx41gjzRI_7c0EtPYQIOh878
click patch then select the sdr game.exe
Then you'll be able to run it with Tp0.6
Check the readme, fist go into TestMode to disable feedback, etc....

Already working on it for aimtrak

About TestMode :
According to game's manual, SHARED mode is a single life gauge for both players, whereas INDEPENDANT mode is a classical mode where each player has his own lifebar

Thank you :D
Now I can run sega dream riders. It runs pretty well.
But small problem exist.
Default calibration is little bit wrong in my Aimtrak setting, so I boot test mode and calibrate gun, but when I pull trigger at point of display, game crash.
Calibration on this game is difficult, I think :(

Maybe small bug about TP 0.6 on sega dream raiders? Or my mistake?

  • I want to build my own arcade controls!
Demulshooter support Xbox360 pad analog stick for emulate mouse.
People who does not have lightgun like aimtrak, this option is very useful.
I think that if demulshooter setting is like below, I can control both 1p and 2p sametime using one gamepad on Let's go island.

1p Device : Xinput gamepad#1
                   mouse left : L Shoulder
                   X-Y axis : Left stick

2p Device : Xinput gamepad#1
                   mouse left : R Shoulder
                   X-Y axis : Right stick

but when I try this setting on Let's go island,
1P and 2P cross hair movement is ok, but 2p trigger function is not working. Only 1p trigger works. I don't know why.
Does dual play must need 2 gamepads?
This is very tiny problem, but I'm very appreciate to you if you can solve this   ;D 
Thanks.

6.4 update :
- added "Sega Dream Riders" support for RingWide system

Just like LGI, you can use -parrotloader if you run it via parrotloader+DumbJvsCmd to overrides all keyboard control.
Or just use without -parrotloader if you play it via DumJvsManager

Hahahaha  :D
I just didn't think someone would one day try to command both players with the same device  ;D
This is normal, it's the way it's done in the code because...well that's how I made it  ;)
I'll see what I can do for next release

Wow, that was quick.  Thanks Argon!  Can't wait to play tonight in 2 player dual mode.  Quick question, has anyone figured out or tested how to improve the HD quality? Do you just change the game.ini file or do you just change the HD settings via the GameLoader All RH? Just curious if anyone has gotten that far yet. 

Thanks

I gave it a first try, and couldn't get it work.
 The patcher link is down, is it needed yet?
Also what file habve I to link to teknoparrot, pgr/game.exe?
I'm using a 15hz 640x480 crt, so I need this resolution, is there any file to change it like in lgi?

Here's the patcher, just patch the /pgr/game.exe so that it can run at a fixed memory address.
Then feed it to TeknoParrot

Game Loader All RH 0.266 is out and support this game now, moreover the author also released some modified game.exe along with a much more complete .ini file with some kind of resolution settings.
I've not tried it at all,  so you'll have to try it yourself  ;) But it can be interresting for your needs

Oh, and as linking these kind of unofficial hacked .exe is not allowed, you'll have to go to the source...


Edit: Found where the crosshair is, I will provide mods tomorrow I guess

They just released All RH loader 267 which is specific to Fright Fear Land. Hopefully it helps with some of the bugs and game.exe issues.

That would be awesome! I tested it tonight... works straight away using game.exe. I used the game.exe the RH loader team provided. Changed video to 1920x1080 and it looks and plays great. 1 player aimtrak works fine, 2 player gun works but shares player 1s bullets... so you shoot for one you shoot for the other! Probably one of my favorites!

Lol, there's no easy cake in the domain, never  :D

Proof is...for this one, I don't know how they make the launcher but the game is now like an empty shell....even in test mode there's no way to see axis values and triggers pushed even if it's working in game. Mouse controls seems to be sent directly from windows API...for now I don't think I can do anything.

Real shame that it looks like you will not be able to get Fear Fright Land working with 2 aimtraks, its a really fun game, very much like House Of the Dead 2

6.5 update :
- Added alpha support for Fright Fear Land : demulshooter.exe -target=globalvr -rom=fearland

For now there's still a small issue : trigger is not registering during the stage select. Either wait for 30sec or change stage select to "random" or something else in the Test Mode

I didn't play untill the end but all seems OK so far

Note that I had to complettely disabled mouse events so if demulshooter is not closed you may not have any mouse action...you'll ned a keyboard and a CTRL+ALT+SUP to kill it. Or reboot


You're welcome to test it and tell me if everything is okay

---smurfing--- king!
i'll test this weekend, although these machinegun games doesn't work very well with crt guns, as they don't track properly on dark colors and they need to flash in everyshot.
No solution for this. My better chance it's setting the game to easy and disabling autofire.

Worked great for me.  I just set level select options to random.  Thanks Argonlefou! Game is super fun.  I would recommend changing difficulty level to very hard.  Makes the game a little more intense and challenging.  :applaud: :applaud:

In FrightFearLand For some reason when a scene requires the laser sight handgun, or wire clippers the trigger button won't work.  I'm using aimtrak guns, with demulshooter, and the game.exe. Any ideas how to fix?   :dizzy:

Well, the crosshair can be easily removed : it's funny the game has exactly the same files as Sega Dream Riders  :o
Unfortunatelly there is one more thing in this game : the ammo counter which still stays on screen as it's generated like some "text"
I've not posted yet the patch for the crosshair, I was waiting to try to find some hack to remove the ammo display. I should be able to work on this at the end of the next week

Hi !
As I said, I couldn't really play the game yet (even though it looks like really funny)
Could you please tell me which path has to be choosen and in which level are those scenes ?

As for the Work-In-Progress :

Another railgun game was dumped this mornig, weirdo mix of music and gun game  :lol


Also I'm really close to (at last !) make DemulShooter work with Blue Estate
Still work to do with Fear Land
And some really quick hack for Far Cry if it's working
