DemulShooter (Dual light gun on DEMUL, Model2, Dolphin, Silent Hill, etc...)

[DMB77]

Good catch, but sadly this didn't fix it. 
Edit:  Figured it out , I deleted the NightHunter2_BepInEx_DemulShooter_Plugin.dll form the BepInEx\plugins folder and everything works now

For some reason House of the Dead in M2 emulator stopped working.
The tray icon changes to green and it says hooked, but the lighgun aim is not moving and it's not shooting.

Virtual Cop 1&2 and Rail Chase 2 work fine, so I don't think there's anything wrong with my settings.

My bat file looks good too:
DemulShooter.exe -target=model2 -rom=hotd

Any ideas?

[phasermaniac]

I don't know, commandline looks fine, have you tried recalibrating in test mode?


Hi Argon! I was playing big buck hunter ultimate trophy again, plays perfect, but I have a cosmetic "problem":
I was wondering if ui Joystick buttons can be forced instead of key+ mouse , so messages like "press space to pump" "press right click to continue" etc would change to press A, which feels more arcadey...

Well, nothing is impossible.
There are (a lot of) tools to unpack/repack unity assets files so that people can mod Unity games...so texture can be replaced
If UI are text-based instead of graphics, it will be a lot more harder.
I will just not be the one doing it

[phasermaniac]

yes, I gave it a try with AssetStudioMod and AssetBundleExtractor but found it a little messy. I was asking just in case there was an easier way than changing graphics.
Do you use those? do you know better tools to do this?

After Dark has been released and working with Teknoparrot.  Any chance we can get no crosshairs/laser sight and outputs?

I have those 2 on my disk, so don't think I used something else....but I only did that kind of mod a couple of time. I would not even know how to do it again without checking instructions on internet.

I'm not a patreon so, unless the game can be played standalone, it won't happen before any "public" support

@Argon: I just sent you a PM!

Hi,
Trying to get Rabbids Hollywood Arcade to work. I have the TP build, and changed the folders from the demulshooter distro. When I run it with demulshooter the game works, but the "settings" are default and when I change them in test menu they are not saved. So putting the game on freeplay, after restarting it's again on insert coin etc.
I don't have that problem when starting it from within TP, there all settings are saved but I want to use the -nocrosshair option that demulshooter offers, so I would prefer it to run via demulshooter. I even tried running it with TP but starting demulshooter, but than the crosshair is still there, even with the -nocrosshair option.
Any idea where Demulshooter stores that game settings file or were it should be or why it doensn't save?
Thanks

[argonlefou]

I don't remember where it is saving data, I''ll look again
Did you try the RabbidsHollywood_Operator.exe  from demulshooter package ?

[trick72]

Did you try the RabbidsHollywood_Operator.exe  from demulshooter package ?

Thanks for checking. I tried to run it, but I only have the option to change resolution and language, nothing else.

[argonlefou]

Ok sorry, I'm not having access to the files at the moment....my memory is not what it used to be   

I'll check the files this week

So, savefile is in the following folder :

C:\Users\username\AppData\LocalLow\Sarbakan\RabbidsShooter\savegame\

Options settings are saved in OperatorMenu.svg

That being said, I do remember that game having a lot of different patched files (Assembly-CSharp.dll) for dongle check, and some operator menu bugs, etc....
I don't know if a clean, untouched file would work with options saving and dongle checks and so on... (as DemulShooter is not handling that part on that game because  I was using the patched files that were done/published back then)

[trick72]

Thanks for checking. I see the file but it doesn't work, but never mind. It's not a demulshooter issue than. I'll skip this game on my cab.

Hi Argon, In this week's Chihiro release, we have the game Ghost Squad, in which we have a button called "Action". It has not been mapped.

[Endprodukt]

Where does one find that build?

[argonlefou]

Hi Argon, In this week's Chihiro release, we have the game Ghost Squad, in which we have a button called "Action". It has not been mapped.

It may be O and P keyboard key (just as vcop3l) and me forgetting to put that in the wiki

I'll try tomorrow, this was done a few month ago and I don't exactly remember everything

[argonlefou]

Ok, ACTION buttons are indeed mapped to O and P keyboard keys (respectively for 1P and 2P)

There's no key mapping option in DemulShooter_GUI or vonfig for that, it hardcoded for now. Don't remember why I choose those 2 keys (also for vcop3 buttons)

Wiki updated !

Hey argon, when playing Rabbids, my crosshairs are stuck on the bottom left corner of the screen. The game still works and I can aim and shoot accurately as if I was using -nocrosshair. Wondering if you're aware and if there is a way to get the crosshairs working again?

[argonlefou]

There is no know bug for Rabbids, when using correct dumps and when everything is set up as it should
But there are a lot of ways to have it not working, or partially working because of the number of different pre-patched files existing on various dumps (and sometimes not compatible)

I can't say anything in your case, not untill you can share a demulshooter debug file to check some details
See here:
https://github.com/argonlefou/DemulShooter/wiki/Debugging#step-3

[Yardley]

Here's the log!

[argonlefou]

Here's the log!

Thanks
Looks like you have a good/recognized dump, and everything is fine on DemulShooter size
Nothing obvious can explain why the reticles are not followinf the aim, unfortunatelly.... 

You can also check that there's only one dll plugin in the /bepinex/plugins/ folder to avoid conflicts

Thanks for checking. I did some more troubleshooting and determined that the issue started with version 15.0. It works fine up to version 14.3. I'll attach a log from version 14.3 in case it helps determine what changed from 14.3 to 15.0 and beyond.

v15.0 update comes with an update for Rabbids, with a new plugin to install
Did you make your tests with DemulShooter v15.0 (and newest) + new plugin, or did you keep the existing old bepinex plugin ?

Sorry for the delay. Yes, I did update the both DemulShooter and the plugin.

[argonlefou]

Sorry for the delay. Yes, I did update the both DemulShooter and the plugin.

I had someone asking me the same question for the same issue a couple of days ago.
It turned out that the new plugin dll has a different name than the older one and he just copied over the new BepInEx folder without removing the old one before

And ended up with 2 plugin dll files messing with each other
Removing the bepinex folder before updating fixed it

Can you check that ?

Thanks Argon, I thought I had tried that already but it worked.

Nice

Hey Argon, thanks for all the hard work.  Are you planning to do an Arcade plugin mos for HOTD 2 Remake like you did for the first one?

[argonlefou]

Hey Argon, thanks for all the hard work.  Are you planning to do an Arcade plugin mos for HOTD 2 Remake like you did for the first one?

Absolutely...not

HoD Remake was a try to learn Unity modding by doing something usefull, and gun support came with it but I had no intent to develop gun support only (and mystery wizard had already done it before)

Now, Hod2 is as bad (or worse) as the first one, and devs/publishers have been contacted by lightgun brands to provide gun support : they simply didn't answer. They don't care. At all.

So will not spend time so that lazy careless people can continue  to make easy money with their ---smurfy--- product, especially when I'm not playing it 

Looks like they finally agreed to add "retroshooter support" after 3 years of asking, based on Steam game forum lol
Let.s see what comes

[FANS]

Hello! It's my first post here and first time using Demulshooter.

I use a original Wiimote with a USB sensor bar as lightgun, connected with WiimoteGun or Touchmote and it works correctly with all emulators I use, like Mame, Retroarch and Teknoparrot. But has problems with some PC games, so I found this Demulshooter solution.

But I couldn't found some good guide to configure the wiimote properly. Following the Demulshooter wiki, in DsDiag.exe, I choose the mouse as device, the buttons are recognized but the crosshair isn't showing. If I try to use the wiimote, no command is recognized.



If I choose the Wiimote as device, nothing happens and nothing is recognized at all.



As result, I tested some PC games like House of The Dead Remake and Operation Wolf Returns, using the instructions of Demulshooter wiki, and it's not working as intended.

Sorry if a similar question was already answered, I couldn't find nothing about it. Can I get some help? A Wiimote really works with Demulshooter?

[argonlefou]

Hi !

That question has been asked more than a few times indeed, over the last decade.... but it's unfortunatelly mixed into the 90+ pages of that Thread 

I personally don't use/own WiiMotes, that's one of the reason why that kind of configuration is not mentionned in the DemulShooter wiki.

Short answer is : Yes, people are using WiiMotes succesfully with DemulShooter (and with multiple devices at the same time, also succesfully)
Now, between touchmote, dolphin bar, mode2, mode4 or any other hardware/software possibility in that domain...I don't have the answer myself

Hoping someone can yelp you

Thanks! I will try to find more info and understand Demulshooter better.
