Glad you like it. :)

There will be a tutorial for Retroarch soon, when I have time. But the essence of the tutorial is to use ViGem, set the Device Type to Analogue Arcade Gun and have the aspect ratio right (strech fullscreen) or use IR Offset.

See Picture:

Thanks for the heads up with RetroArch :)

Have been using BigBox (Launchbox) as my frontend, use a Xbox controller to control the menus but if Lichtknarre is running with the Vigem plugin active BigBox thinks the wiimote is the Xbox controller and just randomly scrolls through all the menus and i can't control it with the normal Xbox controller, only way to regain control is shutdown Lichtknarre which is obviously no good if trying to play light gun games such as point blank in Mame, hope that makes sense  :-[

Is there a setting I'm missing in Lichtknarre ?

i could always hide it from BigBox using Devreorder - https://github.com/briankendall/devreorder which has come in handy in the past to keep various controllers in order so Mame behaves itself  ;)
Fusselkroete:
I would suggest that you start Lichtknarre first, before the game starts. Write a batch script or something :D Make a delay after the start of Lichtknarre and before the start of the game, so that the controllers are also set up correctly by Lichtknarre. After the game is finished, end the Lichtknarre process with a script.

Alternatively, you can also change the plugin by pressing and holding the home button. There are also settings for this. Have a look.

Thanks again for the quick reply, will have a look at the home button option you mentioned when I can :)

Sorted the problem with "BigBox" controls going crazy, in the controller options it was set to use the left stick AND the d-pad on the Xbox controller for the menus, changed it to D-pad only, works as intended now, feel kinda foolish i didn't check this before hand but hey it's an easy fix  ;D

Still not looked at the other emulators yet, bit busy in real life.
