A quickie question that pertain if I hack these into an EMS TopGun II.

If I keep enough of the EMS TopGun II circuitry & guts in the guns to keep the recoil & laser functions intact, will that draw too much current away from your board & cause it to not work nominally?


Thanks,

This sounds like a very cool product.

Has anyone gotten 2 of them to work at the same time in a game so that two players can play co-op?

What games support that?

If all attached guns control the one mouse pointer, I am not sure how you could play more than one player at a time.

Quoting Andy from earlier in this thread:

--- Quote ---On the subject of multiple guns, all guns will control the same mouse pointer, but software which reads the devices using DirectInput is able to read each device independently. Mame can do this.

I like ZeroPoint's option (a #4 variant): give all buttons a separate "offscreen" button output.  The user can set it to be the same as onscreen (aka arcade), or different.  The most used would be sending button 2 for trigger for "PC reload", but it could be anything, such as admin buttons, pause, ect. 

Or are we just spoiled with your ipac, U-HID, and especially u360 to expect a remap script to handle everything for us? :cheers:

Ok I will add separate settings for off-screen for all buttons. Not sure if I can fit all that into the one window in the app...

I will also make a change so that a button config can be downloaded separately from other settings, to allow for a future addition for downloading button configs. I could release the source and data format for this as well.

It should be OK but a decent recoil solenoid really needs 12 volts or higher. The way it should work is the supply charges up a large capacitor and this is discharged through the solenoid when the trigger is pulled.
