Hey, what’s going on bro. I have the Cleanup.exe set to run after the module closes.  Lemme know if you have any other questions. Thanks!

Finally got around to include this in my light gun build with Launchbox as the front end. For the games utilizing mamehooker and outputs, I use Rocketlauncher as the "emulator" to run those specific games.  Took me while to get it up and running (it's been at least 5 years since I used Rocketlauncher).  Question about the cleanup.exe, does it run automatically upon quitting rocketlauncher, or do I need to call upon it via script?

What flycast module you using? The one in this pack? If your game is running in the background and you get a black screen, it sounds like the emulator is losing focus somewhere.  You said it happens randomly.  How often?

Good Afternoon,

For those who have the DS AIO/DS AIO (Lite), I updated the logic in my script so that it updates to DemulShooter v12 properly.  Make sure to grab the updated utility from the link in my sig..   :cheers:

A RocketLauncher Lightgun Package update is inbound!

This one includes just a single mamehook.exe, removes all unnecessary calls to run the other utilities as “admin”, removes the Cleanup.exe, revises the contained modules and also offers a revamped DS AIO utility as well.

When passing the options (single or multiple) it should look like this:

Code: [Select]
options=-noinput -nocrosshairs
There is just a single space needed between each argument with the way I have my utility configured.  Let me know how it works out for you. Thanks!

Hey! Thanks for checking out my pack  8)

This is the first time someone has reported an issue with it.  I'll have to boot up my Win7 laptop and test from there in the morning.  Will get back to you then.

What’s going on dude.  I must have forgotten that I updated my laptop to Win10 from Win 7 a while ago.  So I don’t have a way to test.  I do have another exe for you to try.  I’ll DM you later on with a link to it.

The issue below has been resolved.

I replaced WinHttp with MSXML2.XMLHTTP in my logic.

The latter allows for increased compatibility with Win7 machines.

Super special thank you to PaCiFiKbAllA !!!!

He help me to fix a problem with my RL installation and not all works fine ready for new lightgun experience!

Just to know if you got some issue to load the special module of this project, remember to add RLauncher as emulator on the PC GAMES system that you want to use with Demulshooter.

 :notworthy:

What's good ppl! 

I just recently updated my RL Lightgun Pack.  It includes my custom DemulShooter.ahk class, completely re-written to currently support native DS/MH outputs for the modules included in this pack.

Speaking of modules, if your currently using my RL Lightgun Pack, you can safely delete those modules that came with it (PCLauncher/Model2/MAME/Flycast/SuperModel). 

The updated modules contained in this update have been re-named (as to not overwrite any existing modules) i.e. PCLauncher (Lightgun Edition), MAME (Lightgun Edition), etc.

The video below is a quick demo...check it out  :)

edit: Found the link in the description of the youtube video
