Ad stick w/ lightgun (mouse) how to configure?
(1/3) > >>
Marsupial:
There are a few "positional" gun games that were intended for joystick style gun hardware.

Can we interface them with light guns?

Games like Jurassic Park, revolution X, T2 or Alien3 comes to mind.

I've been trying to get them to configure with my lightgun but can't seem to understand how to do so.

They offer "Adstick" x and y for configuration. What's that?

Thanks for chiming in.
Titchgamer:
Yeah you set the adstick x and y the same as you would lightgun x and y.
You also need to enable adstick to use mouse in the ini file.


But dont expect line of sight aiming with any of them. They dont for the most part have any calibration and tuning the settings for speed etc will take you hours!

Crosshairs required really heh
Marsupial:
anyone knows how to enable adstick to use mouse ?  Is that in the mame.ini or what?  I think that's what's missing on some games.

These settings are in mame.ini and the game-specific .ini if one exists.
- Game-specific .ini settings override mame.ini settings.

1.)  Enable (1) or disable (0) input types as desired.

--- Code: ---#
# CORE INPUT OPTIONS
#
mouse                     1
joystick                  1
lightgun                  0

--- End code ---

2.)  Set the auto-enabled input options as desired.

--- Code: ---#
# CORE INPUT AUTOMATIC ENABLE OPTIONS
#
paddle_device             mouse
adstick_device            keyboard

--- End code ---

Marsupial:
I am not quite sure how the mame.ini works when using the Mala front-end.


Modifying the mane.ini where the mame executable is located seems to have no effect. Is there another mame.ini linked to the front-end?
