Mame Hooker 1.3 released!
Popcorrin:
I was also wondering if this would be able to control a force feedback steering wheel. I know you said that it could do the rumble but I was wondering since force feedback on a wheel has direction and intensity if it would be possible.
Howard_Casto:
1.3 is out, it fixes the mala issues so now all the major led lighters are supported.
Answering questions.....
Since mamehooker is never supposed to be turned off, I suppose you could put it in your startup folder or make an entry in your autoexec.bat. The app should close itself safely when windows shuts down.
Well define "control." Right now it can make any ff utility do a constant ramp force (rumble) so long as it supports it. Afaik even wheels allow for a simple rumble. This is the only effect I support right now because, quite frankly the games that would use more complicated effects aren't hooked up yet. As a matter of fact, the only two games with hooked up outputs that support any type of feedback I'm aware of is prop cycle (propellar fan) and qbert (soleniod). If there are others, please let me know and we can try to manage some effects.

Howard, Cant recall but I thing from memory the sega out run hardware has feedback support? I also recall a emulator of some kind that had sega feedback support?

I'm aware of this... I meant a game that actually has those outputs hooked up. :)

I wanted to put you guys up a little test display file to give an idea of what the display files are for. Eventually these puppies will go over at mr do's place, but I wanted to put one up to test.

If you have mamehooker installed, place this zip in your mamehooker folder and use the "extract here" option. The display and ini folders will be filled with the appropriate files and it'll work right out of the box. Go ahead and startup mamehooker.
To test it open up a command prompt and run "mame seawolf -w." The periscope display elements will be shown in the upper left corner of your desktop. If you wish to put them on another monitor, just adjust the default.dis found in the displays folder.
Enjoy and please leave feedback!
