| New lightgun? Multiple mice in XP? WTF? |
| << < (2/2) |
| Dr. J:
I don't know if he's saying he figured something out or not, but I have that PC Virtual light gun (collecting dust in my closet). The aiming on it was pitiful. Unless he's figured out something that the rest of us haven't, I'd say believe that guy at your own wallets risk. |

That particular gun is one of the first pc lighguns and it's indeed crap. Don't bother..... |

I downloaded it and it works within the app. Now if we can find someone to make it work with Mame.... |

The library probably makes it easier, but AFAIK, there is a way to see the mice (& lightguns) as separate devices in winXP without it, but... It uses a new, winXP exclusive, win32 api set of function based on the new RAWMOUSE (look it up in http://www.microsoft.com, direct links change too fast), sort of like the special library. Either way, though, a second (third, technically) way will need to be added to mame to get the mouse data that will only work on winXP computers. If someone would send me a, oh, 2 GHz computer with winXP installed, I'll gladly try me best to add the multiple lightgun support using the RAWMOUSE api. ;D I'm doubt I'm going to get a new computer before 6 months, and I'm not going to buy a new OS until then, sorry. Right now, I'm trying to find an directX way to read the lightgun data instead of the win32 api way mame is currently using. If I find one, then winME/98 users will get the multiple lightguns instead of winXP users. |
