--- Quote from: Minwah on February 02, 2006, 01:35:36 pm ---Some promising news: I tested my build posted earlier and I *think* it fixes the problem (in Lethal Enforcers/2). --- End quote --- Oh man if you mean the 0x80 change works, that will be hilarious (and good). (I may have to put my SuperLeetMameDev Hat....*cough*...). ;D Although all credit should go to that thread linked to earlier about calibrating analogue joys to start centered.... Anyway, I'll test it out more tomorrow. Regarding smogs driver, I've had similar problems with calibration (and losing it). In the end I calibrated completely manually entering values in the box to get it good as poss, and turned off all the auto stuff and didn't touch the wizard. The games which accelerate the target (zombieraid/opwolf3) I suspect will be more complicated.... |

Having lightgun set to 0 causes MAME to read the mouse in realtive mode. Lightgun 1 causes it to read the mouse in absolute mode. I wonder if zombieraid/opwolf3 need to be in relative mode? |

--- Quote from: Warborg on February 02, 2006, 12:28:06 pm ---Well, I just had an idea as far as powering the strips on and off... If you are going to have a holster mounted on the cab for the gun, why not hack a USB extension cable to where it's 5v lead goes to a microswitch's NC lead, and then mount it with some soft of lever inside the holster? That way, when the gun is holstered the stands would be off, when you draw the gun they power up? --- End quote --- Bingo ! Good thinking ! And I already said we needed something that would switch when "playing a light-gun game", not "playing a MAME light-gun game" :) Now we need a holster. The HAPP/SUZO holsters are quite expensive and probably won't fit right with this gun because of the laser unit but not sure about that....also the metal doesn't make building a switch inside any easier. I was thinking about plastic hand-grip like things. The one's I know are not deep enough for a gun though.....at least I think...anyone got an idea ? |

Leather, plastic, sheetmetal, doesn't really have to be "form fitting". As to the mechanism, was thinking on it, mounting the holster to some sort of rod that goes into the side of the CP or cab somewhere, having it extend to the inside of the cab and be on a pivot, and then a fixed lever coming off the rod that rests against a standard pushbutton. As long as the holster is light enough, the spring pressure of the button could open the microswitch, and when the gun is put in it, the weight should cause it to pivot enough to push down on the button to shut the power off. |
