Title: TeknoParrot and House of the Dead 4 NO CONTROLS WORK
Post by: wakd on June 28, 2019, 09:48:39 am

Hey guys someone please help me. I am running TP 194 and I have tried other versions of TP. House of the Dead 4 runs nicely on my laptop and I am able to assign configuration buttons in the input mapping page such as coin and start. But, when the game is running non of the configured buttons work even in free play nothing works. There was one instance where the start button did work but then soon after that never worked again. Ive tried Demulshooter, xbox360 controller emulator, Gameloader and tried every possible suggestion on various forums. Nothing works.

Just want to play HOTD4.

I'm having the exact same problems and have seen that a lot of people across the net are too and I have yet to find a solution.

 I too have this same problem, but weirdly only on my laptop. I have it working sweet on my desktop.
I used the exact same process and files for both.

Could it be running/not running telnoparrot as Admin?  I’ve seen where there are some games where you need to run TP as admin the first time when configuring, and some require it to run as admin all the time.

There's some issue where if you click "use mouse for gun" the buttons you enter will not work, so you have to uncheck that in Teknoparrot game settings.

Are you using a Lightgun, mouse or controller?

I'm having this same issue.  It is very frustrating.  Has anyone found a solution?

Not sure if anyone still needs a resolve to this but I was lucky enough to stumble on a solution from another site. You need to install all the Visual C runtime packages and it will fix the issue. Use this link and select the first download button to get the visual-c-redistributable-runtime-package-all-in-one
https://www.techpowerup.com/download/visual-c-redistributable-runtime-package-all-in-one/

Run the Install_all.bat and it will install all the Visual C from 2008 to current.

You will find that one of the executables that you have to select in Teknoparrot game settings is failing to run and this fixes the issue. Also found it fixed a lot of games that would fail to start.
