Hi,
First of all thank you to argonlefou for DemulShooter, and thank you to others who have posted helpful advice across the 50 pages, sorry for not mentioning all by name.
Having come into this late I had got Version 8.5.7 working with all games that I wanted. most of the issues I faced were from user error and nothing else, the how to guide is brilliant and IF i had read it correctly the 1st or 2nd or sometimes even 3rd time I would have got it all working quicker.
The new version is great as we no longer need 3 different versions of TeknoParrot to work the light gun games, so a big thank you for that.
Unfortunately I am having a few other issues with the new version (might be use error again-in which case sorry)
I am using Wiimotes and Touchmote, but that is all set up well and working fine.
Demul games - the game window isn't being hooked - having run the debug it just says waiting for game window to hook to. To get around this at the moment I am using version 8.5.7 for demul games - I have kept all configs and .exe in same place and just have Demulshooter.exe for 8.6 and DemulshooterV8.5.7.exe for the older version, residing in the same folder, and direct each shortcut to whichever .exe I want to use. Is it just me that is having this issue?
Cxbx-reloaded, been having the same .net error message, but normally only on 1st load, I start in windowed mode and then change to Fullscreen, but either way it sometimes fails on 1st load- not a huge problem just exit and reload and all good. However I do have to load Demulshooter after cxbx has opened and not before otherwise I get the error more frequently, not a massive issue having to do in a different order.
HOTD3PC - This was a nightmare to get working, mainly because I am an idiot, my version has a different MD5 but worked fine once I opened Demulshooter after the game (yes I know that is what it says to do -like I said user error and idiot) however with the update to 8.6 the cursor moves but gun doesn't fire with Wiimote but does with keyboard, if I roll back and use 8.5.7 like in Demul it all works fine again, the other option is I change the Touchmote layout for HOTD3PC and rather than having the Wii buttons mapped to the XBOX 360 buttons that Demulshooter uses, i map them to the actual keyboard buttons from HOTD3. I was wondering if it was worth deleting the Registry Editor for keyboard layouts of the game and see if that helps? I do load this game as Admin as only way I could get the Registry Editor change to work to allow direct boot into game, not sure if that makes a difference.
Sorry that this has turned into an essay.
I am on Windows 10 1903 if that makes any difference, please don't think this is a complaint, and having two version of Demulshooter and running whichever is needed for different emulators is not a big issue, but I thought the information may help you or others who are having issues.
Kind regards
