If I try them in newer demul 7a_221215 with DX 11 old I get error Failed Create Texture.

When I load Gaelco roms in Demul it doesn't do anything no errors just sits there until I close Demul. It's as if I didn't load a rom at all but the options are great out to choose another rom which is the behavior of a loaded rom. I read somewhere that may be outdated that I need the old version of Demul0582 but it does the same thing. Tried both DX plugins no help. I got them to load before but I had to do a PC reset and start from scratch and I don't know what I did to get them to work. If I load them through Launchbox it just shows Demul with a gray screen. Again I get no errors either way launching through Launchbox or Demul itself.

I don't know of an app but I just make a ahk script this works for most games. ; This section closes PC Game Whatever when pressing Escape $Esc:: { Send !{F4} } Compile it into an .exe, then load it in launchbox as an additional app and load it before the game. As far as pausing games I have no idea, but that works usually for exiting games with esc.

I'm not sure of the exact script but this might help If it doesn't, I use an app called WindowedBorderlessGaming that works pretty well. It's just an app that sits in the bottom right corner and you right click it and choose add window and click back on your game and hit F3. Then when working right it should save that setting in that game when you play it again. Even if you don't need it for this particular situation you might need it for something else. http://westechsolutions.net/sites/WindowedBorderlessGaming/

Yeah the creator of Demulshooter made a different app for that game called mouseenabler I had to use it because Demulshooter didn't work for me in that game either. It's very simple to use just put it in the same directory and run mouseenabler in a ahk script and add it to launchbox. You can also set the resolution in the game with mouseenabler like this run, Aliens_MouseEnabler.exe -resX=1280 -resY=720 https://github.com/argonlefou/AliensExtermination_MouseEnabler

A certain game I have requires an additional app for me to make it fullscreen. For the additional app to work I have to hit F3 each time I launch the game. How do I make a script that hits F3 for me each time I run the game?

I have a Arcade Dump PC game Operation G.H.O.S.T. and it doesn't want to go fullscreen. The only way I've found is with a neat little steam app called WindowedBorderlessGaming. You launch the game choose add a new window in the app and hit F3 on the game and it makes it full screen. When working properly it's supposed to save that setting and automatically load the game fullscreen the next time you play it. But for some reason on this game it doesn't I have to hit F3 every time I launch the game. So I need a AHK script that will do it for me but remember there's no emulator involved so no area to add the script directly into Launchbox but I can make my own AHK script and add it to additional apps. thanks

My computer gives me problems with fullscreen using Sega Model 2 so I have to use Sega Model 2 UI. I use this script (with Demulshooter for my Lightgun) run, DemulShooter.exe -target=model2 -rom=hotd Run Sega Model 2 UI.exe, , hide sleep 250 Run Emulator.exe hotd The only issue with that is Sega Model 2 UI stays open after closing the game. How do I add a script to where it closes with the game?

For anyone who has this problem such as me just google WIndowedBorderlessGaming and it's a free steam app it was the only way I could get Hikaru roms windowed fullscreen.

I was able to fix my problem games by replacing files thanks to this thread. But is there any fix for Sega Rally 2 DX glitched graphics? or maybe it's my computer.

WindowedBorderlessGaming is free just google it, it works for pretty much all PC games from what I've read but I've used it only on Hikaru on Demul. I don't know if I can help you with your arcade cabinet problem. Maybe try binding the escape button to one of the arcade buttons? That's all I got. I'm not using an Arcade Cabinet I wish but I just use an HDTV. I ran into the same problem though with my Dualshock 3 some games use the d-pad instead of joystick. There's not great solution though if you reverse the mapping because other games use the joystick instead of d-pad. What I do sometimes for individual settings per game on an emulator that doesn't have one is just make copies of the emulator folder and have how ever many copies of it that way I can just change the settings. Not ideal by any means but sometimes there's no other options unless you want to go in there and change settings all the time.

I have an EMS Top Gun 3 from play-asia (don't think you can get it anywhere else any more) https://www.play-asia.com/ems-topgun-iii/13/704e7s Pros: Wireless Works fairly well when there's not a fault in it (described below) Cons: Had more than one gun where the trigger stop firing even though I was careful Sometimes even if you have the gun off the usb device will make your mouse get stuck, and you either have to get up and unplug/replug the usb device or turn on the gun and move the mouse that way. It's a driver issue because I've used EMS Top guns on a total of 3 computers and they all do that but only occasionally. Not a deal breaker IMO but annoying. You have to leave your computer on test mode for Windows 10 to let you keep the unsigned driver it uses. The only negative effect from that is a little sign on the bottom right of your screen that says you're in test mode everything else on your computer functions normally so I'd say it's minor. It's kinda hard for me to recommend one because of the trigger problems. But I seem to have one left that works well. If it messes up I'll probably buy a Mayflash Dolphin Bar and use a Wiimote. Aimtrak is the best I just want a wireless solution.

I'll give some general information to get people started if they want. http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,160052.0.html That will give you a list of all the games working (doesn't include Wii games which works with Dolphin in which all games seem to work straight out of the box on it except entering your gun buttons on settings) and if you scroll down they made a list of which emulators they used. On occasion I used different ones like for Dreamcast I used mostly Demul but some Flycast standalone. PS1 I mostly used PCSX-Reloaded which relies on config files (a pain to get them running through Launchbox, but I can help if asked) but I also used some psX. That should be a good starting point.

That would be like writing a book lol but I'll help you one step at a time. Just think of it as learning to swim you jump in the deep in and I'll be there to save you if you start to drown lol. Let me know if you need specific help on something.

I don't have an Aimtrak I have EMS Top Gun 3 but the way I do it with it (I assume the same with Aimtrak) is just start a mame game and hit tab you can choose general settings which will effect all mame games or the one below it which is game specific then go to the button you want to change hit enter and press the button on your gun and it should register and save in Mame permanently. If it's not working that way I can't help though because again I don't have Aimtrak. Dreamcast you have a few options I heard Redream just got lightgun support but I've never used it so can't give you advice I know it only supports Dreamcast while Demul supports Dreamcast and many Sega arcade games and some of those works with Lightguns Naomi, Naomi 2, Atomiswave and Hikaru so Demul is probably your best bet unless you have no interest in those arcade games but some of them are awesome. You have to make sure you have the right bios and some games need chds to work sorta like Mame. There's also Flycast I use the standalone and it's probably the easiest to setup lightgun games most of them just work by changing settings to Lightgun no calibration needed. But you have to find the Flycast standalone. But Demul has more support for more arcade types Flycast is only Dreamcast and some Naomi and some Atomiswave so compatibility wise Demul wins.

I'm not trying to be rude but that page is by the guy who created Demulshooter. If he tells you you need a certain dump then the answer is obvious, you need to get that other dump the one you have doesn't work. About your second post because it says last version tested doesn't mean a newer version of Teknoparrot doesn't work. Surely you don't expect him to update the wiki every time there's a new update for Teknoparrot after testing every game when a new version comes out almost every single day. When it comes to troubleshooting (which is a huge part of getting some lightgun games to work) you've got to learn to take baby steps. The things you're asking me you already know the answer to and just get in there and try it and if you have a issue figure out why and fix it one step at a time. If it says get a different version of a rom don't bother asking me, just get the different version of the rom and see if that fixes your issue. If it somehow doesn't, try different versions of Teknoparrot yourself. I just spent the last few weeks stuck at home setting up 164 lightgun games and I rarely ever asked for help. I googled, googled and googled some more and tried every solution possible then if all else failed I would ask for help.

I'm even finding a few more I missed today Egg Venture and Under Fire both Mame games and I'm in the process of trying to get Star Trek Voyager working and it requires a VirtualBox just to play it. So more frustration to come perhaps! I would have an even bigger list but many are on my Wii original hardware with Wii Zapper and PS3 with Move. I'm considering switching the Wii ones over (there's already quite a few Wii games in that list) but haven't decided to yet.

I solved this with Windowed Borderless Gaming app a little steam app that force the game to go fullscreen windowed, in case anyone ever has the same issue.

Not the best video or best setup (don't have Premium yet) but still a lot of awesome Lightgun games. Every single game is setup for one click play with Lightgun. Took me weeks and lots of frustration setting it up, but I'm stuck at home so why not.

Demul is your best bet for those particular roms but it's not easy either. Sometimes you have to try different bios sometimes they update the needed bios. Just pay exact attention to what the error bios give and google that and usually you will find the answer. You could also ask me if you have a particular error and I might be able to help. But if the correct bios were installed and you have the chds (not all require chds some do) the games will work in Demul. The error is almost always either about the bios or chd missing. Sometimes there's compatibility issues on top of that in Flycast. They're just not easy on either one but if you google exactly the error you can usually find the correct bios/chds you need. This is just an example I had Star Wars Racer which is a Hikaru rom (only works in Demul) and I could not get it to work with podrace.zip and kept getting an error. I had to download swracer.zip extract some of the files from it and add it to podrace.zip. Sometimes it's just a pain in the ass.

Everything you need is here https://github.com/argonlefou/DemulShooter/wiki Your command is right but do you have demulshooter in the same directory as the game? Otherwise you have to changedirectory to point to it. It won't just work anywhere on your computer without you giving the directory of where Demulshooter is located. Example this is my autohotkey script for Silent Hill Arcade with Demulshooter. Keep in mind your directories will be different obviously. SetWorkingDir, C:\Downloads\DemulShooter_v8.8.2 run DemulShooter.exe -target=ttx -rom=sha SetWorkingDir, C:\Games\Collection Chamber\Silent Hill Arcade run KSHG_no_cursor.exe You then right click on the AHK script and compile it into an exe and just load it into Launchbox. Then I don't have to do anything else in Launchbox it will just launch when clicked on with Demulshooter. The easiest way to do it though is just copy all files from your Demulshooter folder and put them in the directory of each game. Then you just make a new AHK script in the directory of your game don't have to change directories at all. So if you do that my example would be just run DemulShooter.exe -target=ttx -rom=sha run KSHG_no_cursor.exe Cuts all all the directories being needed. So let's say you copy all the Demulshooter files in the directory of Teknoparrot and run the script from there. Your AHK script would be this run, Demulshooter.exe -target=lindbergh -rom=hotd4 run, TeknoParrotUi.exe --profile=hotd4.xml I am not sure if hotd4.xml is the correct profile you have to check in your Teknoparrot directory.

Yes I've tried both a hundred times with every resolution possible. Like I said on my other computer it worked first time and I even copied the demul folder to a usb stick and put it on that other computer with the same settings so it's some sort of computer issue not a Demul issue, but I don't know how to fix it.

I should clarify one thing it seems it's just a problem with going fullscreen on Demul period. Naomi, Dreamcast and Atomiswave work fullscreen windowed. There's no such option for Hikaru you either have to have the small window or fullscreen it's a flaw in the design of Demul for those games. I would probably just settle for playing windowed but I'm trying to play a lightgun game Brave Firefighters and it's not really plausible to play a lightgun game in a small window since my Lightgun is like a mouse you end up clicking on other things behind Demul and you end up with another app instead of Demul in front of you. Plus it's just better to have games full screen.

Trust me I don't even ask anything until I've exhausted all my resources. I'm stuck at home so I have nothing but time and I have been googling like crazy and have gotten many suggestions. I have tried Hikarufullscreen, the screen blinks and goes to a full black screen then goes back to a small window. I have tried this script in Launchbox which is a command to hit Alt+enter (hitting Alt+enter myself also doesn't work btw) Sleep, 9500 Send {Alt Down}{Enter}{Enter Up}{Alt Up} I tried right clicking on Demul.exe and changing DPI settings, changing color to 16 bit, changing to admin. Of course I clicked fullscreen in Demul and tried different resolutions. Tried going into my graphic cards and changing settings there, and tried changing the resolution of my computer and set scaling to 100%. It simply refuses to stay fullscreen. I have narrowed it down to a computer issue because I have another laptop and I tried it with HikaruFullscreen and it worked the first try with no change of settings. I realize this is not really a Launchbox problem per say, but I was hoping someone knowledgeable about computers might give me some advice. I probably would have just given up already but the maddening this is I got it to work about a week ago! But when I tried it again yesterday it went back to a window. I changed Demul settings for other games and changed computer settings to get other games to work and now after trying since yesterday almost none stop I can not replicate getting it to work. If I ever get it to work again I will make a .txt of all the things I did and I will even make a seperate copy of Demul that way I can make sure I never accidentally change them again, but I'm not sure I can get to that point. Here are my computer specs if it matters Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-7100U CPU @ 2.40GHz, 2400 Mhz, 2 Core(s), 4 Logical Processor(s)

Could someone give me some advice about how to get Hikaru fullscreen. Trust me when I say I am not asking this without trying every solution that I could possible find. That includes HikaruFullscreen and this command in AHK section Sleep, 9500 Send {Alt Down}{Enter}{Enter Up}{Alt Up} But for me some how none of it works. Well, it worked the other day and I don't know what I did to break it other than playing other Demul games or changing computer settings like resolution. When I try for example HIkaruFullscreen it does refresh and I get a full blackscreen but then it refreshes again on it's own and goes back to a small box. I have tried changing settings in Demul such as resolution, start fullscreen or not doesn't matter nothing works. I also have been trying various compatibility options including scaling when I right click on demul.exe but nope. I think I would have given up by now if it didn't already work before that makes it more frustrating to know there's a certain thing that would fix it but I can't figure out what. I guess it's a good time to deal with something like this for hours at home with what's going on.
