About This File
UPDATE 1 - Added Extreme Hunting 2, KenJu & Force Five
UPDATE 2 (11/08/2024) - Major update to folders for easy placement into the root folders of RA & LB. Everything is soooo much easier. Lightgun games can now be simply switched between Controllers & Lightguns. Inputs & Images are the same as the standalone pre config for consistency. Issue mitigations with content directory .cfg files. NEW install video coming very soon. The old one is now outdated.
Lets not mess about with this one. If you are familiar with what I do then you know you are getting a quality pre configuration that has been researched and tested to death.
I spend hours doing this so you don't have to. Creating configurations for play....not display.
As you are most likely aware, arcade platforms are a pain to setup. Controls aren't standardised and changing settings via test menus can be tiresome.
What this pre configuration gives you:
Firstly I want to talk about audio separately. More to the point just how ear bleedingly loud these games are and how they care not for your main device volume.
So I have lowered the volume on a per game basis in their test menus so you don't have to reach for the volume control or wince every time you start a game.
Most of these games are in MONO by default. I have changed all of these to be in STEREO.
Controls have been scrutinised and tested and revised and tested again. I haven't just set whatever. If a fighting game has a modern port or counterpart I have mapped it to the default layout for that modern version. Everything else has been mapped to be as intuitive as possible, and I have provided layout images so you need never be lost with buttons again.
-2 Player Mouse/Light Gun Ready
-All Extra & Hidden Characters unlocked. There are 7 games with unlockable content
-Censored content like blood is now uncensored
-Analogue Volume adjusted for the racing games. This ensures a 1:1 analogue range for the steering and pedals on a controller (makes racers steering less twitchy)
-All games in English
-All games set to Free Play
-Controls pre configured with layout images for reference and frontends.
-Light gun games calibrated for both players
-Audio lowered on a per games basis
-All games in Stereo
-Sega Clay Shooting has native widescreen and has been setup for 16:9
INSTRUCTIONS:
- I have only configured for the parent versions
- Download RetroArch Files - Control Images & PlatformXML
- Place unzipped config & saves folders into the root folder of RetroArch
- Place unzipped Data & Images folders into the root of LaunchBox
- ENJOY!!! Intuitive controls and everything unlocked.
Here is the documentation for this configuration. Everything I have done on a per game basis is listed here.
I have also provided any passwords, engineers codes, cheat codes and important information here also.
This is a consolidation of information.
