Title: Mala LedWiz and Lightgun
Post by: mflis on March 06, 2008, 10:11:48 pm

Loadman, have you given any thought to adding a P1_LIGHTGUN to the control list?  I'm using a Wiimote as a lightgun and have added a couple of IR LED's to my monitor bezel.  Currently, I have them wired to the +5 from my PC's power supply, but it would be cool if I could control them via my LedWiz so that they are only on for lightgun games.  I thought I might be able to use P1_AD_STICK since that is defined in controls.ini for the light gun games, but it is not on the P1Controls line and is not sent with the game selected event.  Just a thought.....

 Try the attached (Custom version)

Just set it up as Paddle (I hope you don't use that) It should only light on LightGun not Paddle.

It was just easier to do it that way for you quickly.

Make sure you move or delete the other ledwizplugin or mala will try and run both

I hope that works for you.  Enjoy

That's why I earn the big bucks... umm ehh well maybe

Let me know if it works.  All I did was a cut and paste of Passle for lightgun in Select event part of the code.
