| Wiimote force feedback with Dolphinbar in mode 2??? |

Just wondering if it is possible to get rumble while the Wiimote is acting like a mouse. I was able to get rumble in mode 4, but I wasn't able to get raw pointing data that MAME would recognize while the Wiimote was emulating an Xbox 360 pad. |

Hi, No, it's not possible from what i know. gamepad have rumble feature that mices doesn't have. but, it's been a while that i have an idea to upgrade my DIY Virtua gun - Wiimote to add it this rumble feature... And, i think i found how. But for a classic wiimote, It is not possible. :dunno |

Using Touchmote, I was able to get a mouse pointer emulated with the trigger buttons mapped to A and B on the emulated 360 gamepad in mode 4. Playing Terminator 2, the wiimote rumbled when I pulled the trigger, but MAME wouldn't let me map the mouse pointer from the Wiimote, even though I could control the pointer icon in MAME's user interface. It's very frustrating, because that seems like it would be the best of both worlds, but I guess that MAME's input code would have to be patched to accept the emulated mouse pointer as a valid game input. |

Mamehooker supports wiimotes, but obviously that doesn't help unless the game supports mamehooker. wiimotes use an i2c-like protocol over bluetooth. The hard part is getting them paired with a pc, but after you do sending and receiving data is fairly easy. Btw I have no clue why gun manufacturers keep using a mouse as the interface type..... one mouse is easy to poll but dual mice requires a technique that is officially depreciated in windows. Also as you've noticed virtual mice don't work in mame but virtual joysticks do. Joystick input is the way to go. |

Thanks for the replies. I actually got rumble and multi wiimote support working in MAME with a Mayflash dolphinbar. I had to reinstall Touchmote first of all, because it kept moving my mouse, even if I would set the IR pointer to the analog stick of the emulated 360 joystick. The problem persisted until I deleted the old Touchmote installation folder and installed Touchmote in a different directory after redownloading Touchmote_v1.0b15_x64.exe from touchmote.net. After using Touchmote to map the Wiimotes to the Xbox 360 right stick for the IR pointer and A and B for the A and B buttons on the emulated 360 joysticks (I mapped everything on the Wiimotes except the tilt sensors for emulated 360 inputs), I mapped those inputs to MAME in each individual game and set Joystick deadzone to zero and Joystick saturation to .65 in the Mame ini files. (i.e. romname.ini). These settings smooth out the pointer movements. For force feedback or rumble, I downloaded this file FFB.Arcade.Plugin.v2.0.0.3.7z from https://github.com/Boomslangnz/FFBArcadePlugin/releases and followed the instructions. It runs silently after you set it up, which is nice. So, yeah, I played T2 with dual wiimotes rumbling. That was pretty cool. The Wii rumbling isn't as nice as the old uzi controller from Operation Wolf or something, but it's still good to get feedback. The rumble even starts and stops as you reload without releasing the trigger in games that reload automatically, so that's pretty great. I've heard that there are stability issues with Touchmote, so we'll see how it holds up, but for now it's working well. Now I just need to figure out how to launch Touchmote automatically through Rocketlauncher. |
