Can you explain what this package is for exactly? Like to someone who is a noob to this light gun emulation stuff?
I currently have 2 arcade cabinets. 1 of them is my KI2 cabinet that has a PC running Windows 10 and uses a JPAC to interface with the JAMMA harness, and I have groovyMAME on there which launches from HyperSpin/RocketLauncher.
My other cabinet is a Maximum Force cabinet and I have a JAMMA switcher in there and it's pretty in depth with an external port so I can hook up a board without going inside the cabinet, as well as being able to run PC based games with an external PSU.
Recently I have been contemplating just turning it into a MAME cabinet if it's possible, and only have light gun games on it.
It's using a standard resolution CGA monitor @ 320x240 resolution.
So I recently have been playing around with that first PC I have built to try and get my guns working. I have a usb2gun board that lets me interface my Happ guns with the PC.
And so far, MAME is working pretty good. The only thing I'm still trying to figure out is how to get offscreen reload and so far I haven't figured that out.
Today I started messing with the model 2 stuff a bit to see if I could get Virtua Cop and HotD working. I have only been messing with Virtua Cop so far and I haven't had any luck. Using Demulshooter I have gotten it to track (although tracking is off - it's only like on the top half and left side of the screen) and then I have tried the m2 emulator with the Troubleshooter 2 software, and I'm getting an error with the TS2 so that isn't working for me yet.
But with all that said, ideally what I'd like to do is be able to run HyperSpin/RocketLauncher as I currently am, but have it so that it shows both MAME and Model 2 games, mixed in, and then when I pick the game, it loads up the right emulator and all that stuff.
So basically - does your package here help with that? I downloaded the package and looked at some of the ini files for the different modules and I saw some other games I am interested in like Friction, and then I saw some games I know are higher resolution than my monitor, so I am wondering if those just won't work for me or if they somehow scale down or something. Sorry this got a little off topic but I just have so many questions.
I'm mainly wondering if your package here helps with what I am trying to do, and if so, how exactly does it help?
