Aliens Arcade GUNS + mamehooker need help
« on: August 28, 2021, 11:42:15 am »
Hello i've got this and i found how to command it with mamehooker

With this command in mamooker :
ghd 1 &H04B4 &H6870 8 &h02:&h01:&h01:&h00:&h00:&h00:&h00:&h00
Coil works

ghd 1 &H04B4 &H6870 8 &h03:&h0x:&h0x:&h00:&h00:&h00:&h00:&h00
Make Display works x is the number who you want to diplay

but for make it works correctly in mame game it's not so easier
For operation wolf everything work like a charm
For Operation Ghost ( teknoparrot ), everything work flawlessly ( very good game with recoil )
For T2 , coil work the first second after make a lot of small "clac"

Before i've make a circuit with an arduino and the ledwiz code , everything works like
With this hack when output stay a 1 , i jst need to make a script to make it work correctly , but with GID i don't know with it totally crazy
Is there a way to make Generic HID works correctly?
Thanks

There is nothing wrong with the gun or mamehooker, the problem is the type of recoil T2 uses is most likely too quick to keep up.   I know when I hooked those up the outputs flashed so quickly that the program couldn't keep up and display it properly in the debug window.   Try using the wait function to add a delay before turning it off and that might help but if not I'm not sure if there is a way to fix the issue.

Hey guys, got the same gun. However in mame I finding the aim a bit stiff. It locks for a second once I move to the middle of the screen? Some games in Teknoparrot don’t calibrate correctly, like Transformers. I’ve calibrated them in windows so everything goes edge to edge.. is there something I’m missing?

Hoping to get the recoil wired up today.. 🤞

Thanks man! Just got these guns a few days ago.. had to re solder them as it was inverted. Now they work great on Aliens and FarCry on Tekno. However I can’t seem to get them working on other games in Tekno and mame as well.   Much appreciated!

Thanks so much! I’ll try it out shortly and let you know!
Did you do anything different for Teknoparrot games? I can only get FarCry and Aliens to work smoothly. Wanted to get Transformers, Luigis mansion, etc to work as well.

Hey guys, got the same gun. However in mame I finding the aim a bit stiff. It locks for a second once I move to the middle of the screen?

Sounds like a big deadzone.  With analog controls like positional guns, it's important to get an understanding of what MAME's input options do.
Every game needs to be set up individually if you want the best experience.

I've posted this quite a few times before, but always have a hard time finding it:
(#1 may not apply since windows handling of controllers has changed so much)

Quote
    1.  Calibrate the positional gun in windows by pointing it along the edges of the screen.
    2.  In mame.ini set the dead zone to zero.
    3.  In mame.ini set the saturation to 1 (100%)
    4.  Calibrate the gun in the game's service menu (F2)
    5.  Adjust the sensetivity under analogue controls in MAME's in-game menu until the crosshairs don't lag behind the gun movement.
        (there is only ONE sensetivity setting, ignore all settings that include the word DIGITAL)

For the ini files, if an individual one for a rom exists in the ini folder, it will overrride mame.ini.

Hey bud, yes I can shoot no problem with player 1 and 2. Let me know what I can do to help you with that. I’ve even tested lugis mansion and it works perfect. I just go into Teknoparrot settings and assign the triggers buttons for each player. I just can’t get Transformers to work that way though. I calibrated the guns in windows USB controller so the crosshair goes edge to edge.

For the recoil, I bought the transformer, 3 prong plug, but then I was told I needed a molex Y splitter. However the guns have a 3pin molex, but the Y splitter have a 4pin.. not sure how to connect it. I’ve posted links of what I have:

Are you using 2 supplies for each gun? Or per gun? Also how do you wire the power plug lol..  I think I can figure that part out.. could you send a picture of yours?

I have 2 guns and was told you can use 1 power supply for 2 guns with that y splitter. Also I thought the green wire was to light up the buttons..

Thanks for the info!

Yeah, of course:
Left_Gun_Recoil=nll |ghd 1 &H04B4 &H6870 2 &h02:&h01

by the way, if you have the gun with the led strip, you can activate it by sending ghd 1 &H04B4 &H6870 8 &h04:&h00:&h00:&h00:&h00:&h00:&h00:&h00
only needs to be sent once, though, and then it will automatically work every time you press on the trigger.
*edited to correct a small mistake with the led strip command

This is awesome! I wonder if it will work with other mame titles.. that would be the icing on the cake! I have no idea about that software.. “mamehooker” I’ll read into it further. Still have to figure out how to install my recoil.. waiting on some y splitter cables.

You can make it work with everything basically, even as a "dumb" recoil.

@Nitro0602 for sure it will work with every game who's got output ( teknoparrot too , justneed to add Outputblaster from boomslang in each directory games ( x86 or x64 that depend of game's structure)

@Foxhole is it possible to make it work with other game with no output ( time crisis for example where output gun doesn't shown ) , a generic when trigger is push ? ( and thanks for LED STRIP output values :) )

If you can share your INI folder :) :) :) :applaud: :applaud: it will help a lot ( i've done mine with a ledwiz before , but when i see your T2 result i think there's no need for it )

Yes, it's possible by using the key states function, basically you assign the recoil to your trigger button in MH.
Currently not in front of a pc, but when i get back home I'll show an example.
Also, time crisis does have an output for the recoil, i believe it's mcuout1 or mcuout0.

If you already have an ini for time crisis, delete it, then run the game again and get to the part you're already shooting.
Mamehooker will only record the outputs on the first time you run the game, so you have to make sure it has recorded all outputs before you quit the game.

Ok, so an important thing to know is that the Keystates in MH listens to keyboard state changes, not joystick input, and our gun is a joystick.
With that said, you can still use a remapping tool like AHK or Xpadder, i personally verified that AHK works, and it works perfectly.
So for this example i remapped the trigger of the gun to the Letter 'Y'.
Here is an example script for a game with a keystate example:

[General]
MameStart=ghd 1 &H04B4 &H6870 8 &h04:&h00:&h00:&h00:&h00:&h00:&h00:&h00
MameStop=
StateChange=
OnRotate=
OnPause=
[KeyStates]
RefreshTime=
Y=nll |ghd 1 &H04B4 &H6870 2 &h02:&h01
[Output]


The mame start is for turning on the LED Strip.
Another thing to note is that this will send a single shot recoil only,
in order to get a full auto recoil you will need to create a simple script and loop it upon holding the trigger.
Just to be clear, everything i said here is covered in the MH docs, except for the remapping of the joy to key.

feel free to join the gun4ir/sinden discord, i'm usually available over there.
You will also need to address games that use a constant pulse rather than short pulses (Motor based games).
same idea as before, using MH scripts work great.

Ok! Cables are coming in today! I’m hoping I get recoil working. Also any idea how to play Fright Fear land with these guns? It looks like the original arcade uses the exact same ones.. I got it working with DemulShooter but for the mouse/aimtrak.. any tips for 2 player? I’m thinking I have to enable joystick etc..

Hey bud! Okay I finally got the recoil to work. I ended up using 2 power supplies. How do you get mamehooker to work with other TeknoParrot games and of course mame? I can’t even get these guns to show up in the test menu of mamehooker.

Hello i've got this and i found how to command it with mamehooker

With this command in mamooker :
ghd 1 &H04B4 &H6870 8 &h02:&h01:&h01:&h00:&h00:&h00:&h00:&h00
Coil works

ghd 1 &H04B4 &H6870 8 &h03:&h0x:&h0x:&h00:&h00:&h00:&h00:&h00
Make Display works x is the number who you want to diplay

but for make it works correctly in mame game it's not so easier
For operation wolf everything work like a charm
For Operation Ghost ( teknoparrot ), everything work flawlessly ( very good game with recoil )
For T2 , coil work the first second after make a lot of small "clac"

Before i've make a circuit with an arduino and the ledwiz code , everything works like
With this hack when output stay a 1 , i jst need to make a script to make it work correctly , but with GID i don't know with it totally crazy
Is there a way to make Generic HID works correctly?
Thanks
