Title: Help with Top Gun LCD II and "joystick" gun games? (and Virtua Cop)
Post by: MrRoboto4L on September 16, 2008, 08:36:44 pm
Long time reader, first time poster.

I've gleaned enough information to get a cab up and running, looking beautiful with custom buttons, lights, art etc...  I even managed to get my Top Guns working in Area 51...  Everything on this forum has been awesome... between this site and spesoft, I've been rocking and rolling. 

Nulldc was a challenege, but that works (aside from some ramping slowdown in MvC2)

I've not come down to the finishing touches...  just getting the last few gun games to work right, and ordering/designing my monitor bezel from Mamemarquees.

Big Problem:
I cannot get the Top Guns to work with the joystick based gun games.  I have it working on Area 51...  but Revolution X is just keeping the pointer at the upper let portion of the screen.  I've tried calibrating the guns in the service menu, and it appears that the service menu is recognizing the "movement" of the guns...  but when I play the game, I'm just stuck in the upper right hand corner...

Little Problem:
Anyone know why Virtua Cop won't work in the model 2 emulator?

oh...  classic blunder.

Specs:

Top Gun IIs (two of them, btw)
Vista 32 bit
EMS driver installed
.127 Mame
GameEx front end
Latest Model2 emulator
the computer specs are beyond all reasonable limits...

What else should I be putting here?

In the classic tradition of "teh guy who asks for help and figures it out himself simultaneously"...

I went into MAME.ini and set mouse and multimouse to 0...  it worked.

Both guns work pretty well now.


If anyone has any virtua cop insight, it'd be appreciated.
