Wiimote force feedback with Dolphinbar in mode 2???
<< < (2/2)
Howard_Casto:
Heh.... I hooked T2's outputs up in mame back in the day.... very satisfying to get them working properly.   As you've noticed there is a distinct difference between using the actual outputs and having a more generic solution where a rumble is felt every time you pull the trigger.  That's not how it's supposed to work in those games.
KenToad:
Cool, Howard. I believe that you are credited as "always helpful and a big reason this plugin was ever made" in the force feedback plugin readme (I assume that it's you even though it was spelled as Howard Castro).

I played all the way through T2 for the first time and, yes, the Touchmote software is definitely unstable. I had all kinds of issues popping up that I've never seen before when I've used the dolphinbar in mode 2 or with the Dolphin emulator in mode 4, such as the cursor suddenly mirroring inputs or jumping erratically all over the screen. It made the frustrating final levels of T2 even less fun. It turns out that the T2 arcade game pretty much sucks after you travel back in time. Still, it was cool to mark it off the completion list and it took less than an hour.

I'll keep testing this setup. If it continues to be as bad as I've experienced so far, then I can't imagine why anyone would use the Touchmote software over a dolphinbar in mode 2, at least with Windows 10. With the dolphinbar in mode 2, you lose rumble and you need a dolphinbar per wiimote, but at least the pointer is accurate and stable.

Hi,

Yes  i agree with you reagrding the difference between using a wimote in mode 2 Vs a using it in mode 4  with touchmote. i had even do a Video on my channel youtube to compare the 2.
Did you seen it already ?
KenToad:
I'd seen a few of your other videos, but not that specific one yet. Thanks for sharing. Your experiences with Mode 4 look exactly like mine. That's a bummer. I guess the Touchmote software desperately needs an update because none of those issues occur when using the dolphinbar in mode 4 with multiple Wiimotes connected for the Dolphin emulator.
