Hi go2ldook!
Some good advice from Neil in the last post. Just thought I'd add:
>> Even tried running as admin. When I click START I get a brief screen pop-up then nothing.
Unfortunately, WIndows 11 is very strict on what executables it allows you to run these days. When you click the GUI Launcher's START button, the GUI Launcher will attempt to run mgpr.exe with various command line arguments. Even though you may have run gui_launcher.exe as admin, those privileges don't automatically get assumed by mgpr.exe.
Thus, can you make sure you have given administrator privileges to both gui_launcher.exe and mgpr.exe. I.e. For both files, right-click and select 'Properties', go to the 'Compatibility' tab, check the box for 'Run this program as an administrator', click Apply, and then OK.
Hope this helps :)

Hi All!
I thought I'd put together a full release containing the new utilities I had been working on (Allowing the game to control a physical revcounter and 'CH340' USB Relay boards) and that has a few minor bug fixes. I have added new sections to the release note that explain how the new utilities work. I've also updated the first post on this thread to include the links to the new version that you see here.
enjoy! :)

Hello geecab,
Thanks a lot! I'm setting this up in a dedicated machine with a raspberry pi 5 and some complementary 'outputs' (secondary lcds, 7 segment display, leds, etc.). May I ask whether it would be possible to implement any of the following QoL features?:
- I only have a mouse and a joystick interface connected to the raspberry. I was able to map the main controls to the mouse and the joystick but it does not seem to be possible to specify the device used to "exit". So, as it is now, I need to connect a keyboard just to exit the game. Would it be possible to add an option to map the exit to a button (or, even better, a combination of two buttons) of the joystick device?
- Regarding joystick mapping, I see the game recognizes the joystick buttons and axes, but not the digital hat (up, down, left, right), which in my case corresponds to the dpad.
- Being able to change the ingame audio volume in real time with some mapped joystick buttons (or button combinations) would be very nice.
Again, thanks for this great remake!
