The RLUI only allows you to call a single instance of DS (uses the DemulShooter.ahk class) and even though in the TP module there is code to change the extension from DemulShooter.exe to DemulShooterX64.exe, it doesn’t work.

The updated module does allow you to set to use the 64bit version from the RLUI.

LEDBlinky does more than just LEDs, it also handles 4/8-way joystick switching. Although all these things can be done with RL, it's much easier with LEDBlinky. Since LB uses it to preview per game buttons, it does so by using the MAME cfg files and automatically adjusts even if you change key mapping in MAME. Also LEDBlinky's editor is a lot easier than manually doing it all with MAMEHooker.

Thanks for the offer. At this point I think the best method with the least amount of work is just only use RL and your modules for the games that need more than just LED support. (As the LED part is already working flawlessly as is with LEDBlinky)
The one issue I do see is that when using the RL MAME module, window sizes are messed up after returning to the front end. There is no resolution changes, and the only MAME option I set in RL is fullscreen and use MAMEHooker. (everything else is set in MAME.ini) My guess is it the window code and how RL works with them. I will have to look the module code in more detail. It doesn't have the same issue with other RL modules.

Thanks again for your updates.

Your more than welcome. My goal was to simplify DemulShooter and Mame Hooker integration into RL. So thank you for using it and providing feedback. The TP module I have is v.2.2.2. It may be outdated as I don’t keep up on it.

So as stated earlier, in the RLUI, there is only a single spot in the Third Party tab to either select DS.exe or DSX64.exe, and inside the module I’ve experienced it to not work properly, but if it works for you then that’s great.

Again, thanks and glad it helps! 🍻

Your welcome 👍 The instructions in the ReadMe are very simple. Pretty much a drag and drop solution for us RL users 🍻

ok. I have setup operation wolf with mamehooker from Launchbox without using RL.. Shouldn't be too difficult since you have the ini files for the other games already figured out.

Sweet! I used gStAv’s (JB/GUN4IR Discord) Excel spreadsheet as a guide to keep track of which games I have hooked to MH…for reference. I did dive into the list and made my own spreadsheet, which I’ll post shortly after I’m done with it.
