  • I want to build my own arcade controls!
Hi Argon and other people!

I have two sinden lightguns that I use to play on emulators and PC, which work wonderfully and thanks to this program I can enjoy with friends or my brother. Well, to the point!

I'm trying to play Silent Scope on PS2. The game was not made to be played with a lightgun, but you can operate the scope with the left stick. I know it's also on Xbox, but of the trilogy only the second one is going well, the others have graphical errors... I use PCSX2 Qt Nightly 1.7. If I configure the mouse as an analog controller it works perfectly, smooth movement, etc... But if I connect my Sinden, it automatically goes to the corners without being able to remedy it when I try to aim.

I'm going crazy trying to get it to work and I think it's because the Sinden lightguns work as RAW Input and not as a normal mouse... And, if I understand correctly, too, Demulshooter makes them "work like a mouse"...

So, is there any possibility of running DS together with PCSX2 to use my Sinden as a mouse and finally be able to enjoy this great game?

Thank you so much!

Hey again, arg!

I've just finished adding OLED and life/ammo display support to the OpenFIRE project, so I've been having a play with DS again lately trying out the Ammo and Life outputs.
Quote
While it's generally worked well, I did notice a bit of strange behavior at least with Let's Go Island (3D): the reported life bar keeps switching to 0% when cutscenes play, and only switches back to the correct value when control is gained.

I did this testing mostly with my own QMamehook program's verbose output just to see what exactly it's sending; aside from some bugs on my end that I recently resolved, this seems to be a consistent and intentional(?) behavior on DS's end. But for a user who has this active display of player stats enabled, it'll look really confusing seeing the player "dead" according to DS's output but the lifebar (which remains onscreen in most cases) still showing the real value.

Is this intentional? Was the idea to be that when a cutscene is playing that the life display is supposed to be "hidden"? There doesn't seem to be much of a distinction between "hiding" or simply "dead". This doesn't seem to happen in other games like House of the Dead 1 or Virtua Cop, which never change life display outside of damage/bonuses.

I haven't tested much so far, since I'm still barrelling towards public release of OF, but just thought I'd ask to make sure.

Well, it's not really "intentionnal"....not fully :

Finding output values is not the hardest part on those SEGA games, the hardest part is the fact that at that time, when the game was running the attract demo gameplay, it was using some kind of "scripted gameplay sequence" making the life, ammo (and other character related data) values to change in exactly like in real player gameplay.
(Newer games usually don't have that issue as they are using a gameplay recorded video to play like a movie)

So, to limit the buttefly effect of having recoil, dammaged and other custom events to fire during the attract mode, I need to find a way to "filter" the good/bad moments to use those values.

So, concerning LGI3D : I'm filtering thanks to some value in the player data structure......but it ended beeing a wrong choice :
- It goes 1/0 during gameplay (0 in the cutscenes) so when it goes to 0, life data is filtered out by DS
- It goes 1/0 in the same way in attract mode so you should see the life changing in the attract mode (if the demo is loosing life)

I lurked a little more in the binary and may have found a beter way to find if the game is playing or displaying attract, I'll have to try to play with it to make things  better.

On a side note, displaying that kind of values (that were not meant to be visible at all to the physical player) sometimes has some side effects. You will surely be able to see some amo going to 0 in cutscenes, or changing values in game over screen or other weird things in some games.
A recent example was someone pointing out the fact that, in HOD2 (flycast or Demul) the ammo account is decreasing and can be reloaded during cutscenes, where no GUI is displayed on screen
It's fun to see sometimes the "BEhind The Scenes" of the game and have clues on how the devs are handlings things in reality :)

I see! Very informative - yeah, it would make sense that the autodemos are just normal gameplay sequences but automated, and having things firing off in the attract sequences would get very annoying.  ;D

Obviously, it's not the biggest deal in the world or anything, as external screen display support is optional and only really supported on printable guns (what's shown is the PiCON with WIP adjustments for OLED), but it's fascinating nonetheless to see these behind-the-scenes happenings regardless (which I've caught at least a few instances of, and surely will find more as the firmware goes public and people start exploring the fuller library of DS's supported games with such feedback channels).  :laugh:

Hi Argon.
Some years ago I told you about Ad cop and Bon bon Paradise.  Both games are msdos but have win95 versions.
I tested Ad cop win 95 version and I couldn't get it to work.
But just noticed that Bon bon paradise works. You just have to mount Cd, install the game, Open cd and run Main95.exe.
There is SETUP95.exe, if you select lightguns game doesn't launch but if you select keyboard and /or mouse it starts normally.

Just in case you are interested, it is a good Point blank game like.

I don't know what happens with Ad Cop, gonna investigate this days

I tried to fix it, this will be available in the next release. Finger crossed for the change to work as expected...  ;D

The issue is, with those old DOS games, to run them without any issue on every computer....
I personnally had a lot of trouble to make BONBON start, but unfortunatelly I cannot get past the main menu because of some MSCDEX error on 2 computers.
So...for now.....I will let it sleep on my NAS

Have you tried what I sent you in a pm?
I have the MSCDEX issue if I run Main95.exe from the installation folder, but if I run it directly from the Cd it runs fine.

Hi Argon
As I said, I messed a bit with Ad cop, and I finally could make it work in Win 10, using dxwnd
Dowloaded last build (2_06_04), as it seems the author made some win95/98related progresses recently

First install the game. Next open dxwnd
1. Options- Exended mode
2- Right click-Add
3. Main tab: Point the path to the exe, change resolution if you need
4- Compat tab: check "Handle exceptions"
This way, it launches in my side.
I have tested 3 versions of the game:
Ad cop and the polish cd version, works using the installation folder exe (Unlike bonbon paradise that works form the cd exe).
Ad cop Overseas (AudioWizard cd) instalator dont work for me for some reason, I'll investigate this later

So ... I've not tested Ad Cop yet, but tried again BonBon95 and couldn't make it go past the title screen

even running the game from mounted Cd, from disk, copying files, or trying anything : always get the MSCDEX error popup  :-[

Strange, I did not have this problem in two diferent pcs. Will try to reproduce it tomorrow.
Maybe using dxwnd as described for Ad cop can bypass this with the "Handle exceptions" option, I don't know.

Hi, I applied no crosshair patch to Elevator action invasion, thanks. It is possible somehow to remove also the gun trace displayed when firing?

You mean the tracing bullet fired each time ?
Well, maybe but I don't know how.

Looks like a part of the game mechanics as almost all bullets are designed like this in the game,  and I think this may be used to check the collision with ennemies.

It's not like GUI elements that can be easily changed, manipulated either from textures or in code, because they have no impact on the gameplay engine

Yes, I mean the tracing bullet; so in this case I prefer play with crosshair enabled because without that I feel a bit confused. However many thanks for all your work. Do you think it's possible to make a smaller crosshair for replacing the game's original one?

You can, but it will need quite a few steps :

- The no-crosshair file you downloaded is a small .pak file, called pakchunk0-WindowsNoEditor_P.pak : that naming means that the game will use the content of the _P file as a plugin to replace the original assets from the pakchunk0-WindowsNoEditor.pak

1) You will need That tool to extract the no-crosshair .pak files, you'll obtain a few .uasset/.uexp couples (one couple for each crosshair drawing)

2) I think I used That Tool (the GUI) to import the desired texture into each crosshair asset (in the case of the no-crosshair patch, I imported blanked drawing. You can use any drawing you want to replace the crosshair)

3) Use the tool in step 1 to re-create the .pak file

It's basically the steps to follow, you may need to find on the internet some tools if you want to display, analyse, change or create some assets files if you want to.
But the idea is simple : change those assets with the drawings you want and create the _P named pak file

  • I want to build my own arcade controls!
Hello friends. I ask the experts to see if they can help me. I already have the Aliexpress aliens guns assembled and configured. I haven't started with mamehooker yet but I'm testing the recoil with teknoparrot specifically with Aliens extermination and Farcry which from what I see have native support for these guns and activate the outputs. The problem is that one of the guns works perfectly with the recoil and the lights but when in the active game the other gun recoils in both and out of control and after a few seconds both guns are blocked and you can't continue playing. I reversed the controls in the Teknoparrot configuration and it does the same thing, that is, the gun that was blocked before works and when I pull the trigger on the other, both are blocked with uncontrolled recoils. I've been looking at many forums but I can't find this problem, maybe it's a com port configuration, but in the Windows device manager I don't see an option to assign a com port to the guns. If anyone can help me I would greatly appreciate it!

PS: Sorry for my English :) I am using the translator since my language is Spanish

Edit:
I tried Mamehooker and the result is the following...
In Test mode with the code
ghd 1 &H04B4 &H6870 2 &h02:&h01 (Gun 1 makes a single recoil and locks gun and mamehooker)

With the code
ghd 2 &H04B4 &H6870 2 &h02:&h01 (Gun 2 works perfectly, every time I press test it recoils as many times as I want.)

The truth is that I can't understand what's happening.

Hi! Argonlefou!

I upgraded Flycast from v2.0 to v2.3 and now
when playing Lupin III: The Shooting the first level works with recoil (using MAMEHooker) but the following Mission 2 does not (the rockets on the filed), and the solenoid is now silent, but used to work in Flycast v2.0

Is this something you can look into Sir?

I can, but there is no basic change in DS (between  flycast v2.0 and V2.3) except the RAM address used by the emulator.

So I'm affraid it has to be a change in Flycast itself, I'll see what I can find

Thanks for your quick reply and also the testing, wounder if my action call in MAMEHooker could be the culprit then.
Anyone with working solenoid calls please post what you have as it stops working for me after mission 1. :'(

No, it's not normal

You must have an issue with your GUN/MameHooker config

DS does not rely on TP outputs options so it's not the reason.

First step to find the issue would be to run the game windowed and display the MameHooker windows (like the screenshot I added a few post above for Flycast)

Running an empty mamehooker folder (without any ini files in it) can help too

You should see the outputs and the values changing

I'm trying to get Point Blank X working, but when I run the game with demulshooter, the start and coin buttons no longer work so I can't start the game.
The test mode buttons work but nothing else.
All the buttons work when I start the game without demulshooter.
Using 12.9


Actually, I'm not sure it is demulshooter causing this issue, but if anyone else has managed to fix it, please let me know!

If the values are changing in MameHooker, then DemulShooter-MameHooker setup is working fine.

There is no "special" things to do for Walking Dead if you're using the custom output signal, which is working the same way for every games in DS
It means that the no-recoil issue has to be on your mamehooker ini file or how you're controlling your gun with it, and I won't be of much help here

I'm trying to get Point Blank X working, but when I run the game with demulshooter, the start and coin buttons no longer work so I can't start the game.

Actually, I'm not sure it is demulshooter causing this issue, but if anyone else has managed to fix it, please let me know!
Point Blank X beeing a UNITY game, it does need the DemulShooter plugin to install in the game folder so that DS can dial with the game.
If the plugin is not installed, Demulshooter would have no effect at all
If the plugin is installed, it should alter the game behavior ans DemulShooter will then control it

If inputs are blocked, you may have installed the plugin and have an issue between DS<-->plugin

Make sure you put the latest plugin from DS folder ( I think it has been updated a few weeks ago) and follow the wiki page

Than you can post a debug file that may contain some information

  • I want to build my own arcade controls!
I managed to figure it out.

The inputs were blocked by the AHK that I was using to launch demulshooter and the game. I had a hotkey set up that quits the game when you hold 1 and 5 and that was preventing 1 and 5 from reaching the game.
I put a tilde in front and now it works.

i.e:
1 & 5::
became:
~1 & ~5::

However it's weird because I've had that code for *years* and it's never caused an issue until now.
Anyway, I hope that helps anyone in a similar situation!
Thanks for all your hard work!

Hello!

I tried to play House of the dead 3 with Demulshooter but, despite both gun are correctly detected i got a super delay on shooting.

Like: i shoot with the gun and after 2-3 second i see the shoot on the screen.

When i play solo (without demulshooter) all its fine.

This is the AHK that i used (Sinden wiki)

Code: [Select]
RUN, "D:\THE HOUSE OF THE DEAD3_EU\Hotd3pc_ArcadeMod_v2.0\Hotd3Arcade_Launcher.exe"
Sleep, 5000

RUN, "D:\DemulShooter\DemulShooter.exe" -target=windows -rom=hod3pc -noautoreload -noguns, D:\DemulShooter

; For a KEYBOARD mapping, default keys are 'left control' and 'left shift' for P1
; 'right control' and 'right shift' for P2 and may need to be rebinded to mouse as usual:
LControl::LButton         ;P1 click
LShift::RButton           ;P1 reload
RControl::LButton         ;P2 click
RShift::RButton           ;P2 reload

$Esc:: ; Quit Game
Process,Close,hod3pc.exe
Run,taskkill /im "hod3pc.exe" /F
Process, Close, DemulShooter.exe
Run,taskkill /im "DemulShooter.exe" /F
ExitApp
return
