Thank you for this...however, i can not get the shooting games working with the mouse?

Is this rawinput related? And if so is there a way of turning it off?

Thanks

Yes it is rawput related most likely. Just delete the .cfg for the light gun games and they'll use your main configuration instead. Don't forget to set the gun inputs in RA with no content loaded if you haven't already. 
Also, 2 Player mouse input only works with rawinput .

I've had another go at it today and managed to get it working by removing the aspect_ratio_index = "1: 16:9" in the config files and using 2 GUN4IR instead of a mouse. Thanks for your reply and keep doing what your doing! Its awsome! 👍

That aspect_ratio_index = "1: 16:9" is only on Sega Clay Challenge as it has native widescreen which has been activated in the test menu. It shouldn't have any effect on the input. Cheers mate

Thank you very much!!!

Thank you your work. Does this work for arcade cabinet builds, like with iPacs and such?

Thank you for all this amazing work. My new launchbox build for some reason wont load your remap files. Not sure what I changed. When a game starts it only shows that it loaded the config and not the mappings? Works on my other pcs.

Is there a way to port this to the standalone Flycast emulator?

Hi @Warped Polygon,

Once again, another high quality config release. You are doing God's work 😁

I have noticed that Metal Slug 6 always had low brightness by default.
However, there's an option on the Debug Menu that can put boost the brightness of the game and it makes a huge difference.

See attached screenshots for the menu steps to achieve this.

Can you help and modify the existing NVRAM for this game to have maximum brightness?

That would be amazing! Keep up the great work!

Excellent timing. Just about to release this into the standalone build. I'll make sure to do this. Even if you are still using this RA version you'll be able to use the updated NVRAMs from the standalone build.

Amazing, that would be perfect! Thanks for this!

That screen brightness one doesn't save, there is a few options in the debug menu dip switches that don't save, you can turn them on when playing, but once you shut down they will reset, same goes for full auto, invincibility and others

Are you 100% sure? Because I have the Dreamcast port of Metal Slug 6 and they managed to save the NVRAM with full automatic fire; when the game boots, the character has turbo fire basically; so I was hoping that the same would apply for the Brightness hack.

Yes those are done in cheat engine, they have no nvram for Dreamcast, just like kenju or asking about, has both extra character unlock and both extra LVL in Dreamcast conversion, but can't in arcade one, I tried on my own for metal slug and only red blood saves, most or all the extras and nvram for mame extra come from me, that warp has posted,

Ok understood. Would be great if somehow we could activate those cheats in Retroarch...
Do you know how to access the debug menu in Metal slug 6 in the arcade version? I wanted to change the brightness and then do a Quick Save. That way, next time I boot the game, I just load the quick save. Thanks!

Have forgotten but a quick yt video will tell you, but needs p1 and p2 controllers, and only works once in awhile, so takes a bunch of tries to get it to go, since required 3 buttons pressed at same time, which these emulator don't like 

Superb, many thanks. I just copied the files into an Andoid AYN Odin setup and it's mostly looking good, apart from the light gun games of course but I'll set those up on the analogue stick for some extra challenge.
