[RetroArch | 2 Player Mouse Easy Setup Guide - Wapred Pologon Guide]

Love the guide put out by @warpedpolygon on how to setup two mice on retroarch, but how do you get Sinden to work on it? 

I see the crosshairs sporadically moving around but no border for sinden to use?  Ami supposed to use the Sinden RA borders at the overlay?

Thanks

I only got one to sync with my setup.   Andy from ultimarc said he had both going on his cabinet and are both playable in BT.
The original usb connections are easy to fit back into the gun and worked great.

Many thanks @tkssitch!😀

Put this in the RUNNING SCRIPT TAB of the Emulator:

$ESC::WinClose, ahk_exe EMULATOR.EXE

 

[Closing Demul.exe]

Hi, I am running a bat file that runs demulshooter and demul with the rom. Everything works!

The problem is closing the window with esc.  Is there a setting in Demul emulator to close?  Do I need to use an ahk?

I dont use an emulator in LB, just a .bat file to launch the game.

Thanks!

Hi,

I have the sinden guns working almost perfect on psx via retroarch (Beetle Core).  My problems:

1.Cant get the sinden gun to move left or right from the d pad on it to select different levels in Die Hard Trilogy.

2. Cant get the Rockets button to work, only grenades work.

Anyone have a tip?  Use a different emulator or watch a vid?  I can move the crosshair and play the game (great retro game for sure).

I am using this as the guide: https://www.sindenwiki.org/wiki/Retroarch#Sinden_Lightgun_borders_in_RetroArch

 

Thanks

Worked like a charm. 
Here are the ahks in case someone else can use them.  I Increased to wait to 10000.

Thanks again!

Many thanks! @maxforwardspeed

Ill will take a run at using this today and let you know how it worked out.  Appreciate the time and help!

[Sinden Border Activation]

@maxforwardspeed
MAME is good to go. Thanks for helping out.   I have it all setup and working on most emulators, and have added the borders, but prefer the widescreen look (16:9  no side artwork). 

I was looking for an elegant way of having the borders show up when the game is running using ahk and deactivating them when you exit.  Currently, you have to press the button on the sinden gun.  Any ideas?

[Sinden Border Activation]

Does anyone have a solution to activating the sinden guns and border on shooters and then turning them off after on exit?

Thanks

For a Used or Open Box NAS Device  with at least 4 bays.  Guns are black and very gently used, and the upgraded BT kits are currently installed on the guns. I will cover all shipping on both items.

The CRS 4.0 dongle is also included.  I can re-install the USB connection if desired.  Also, willing to sell separately if needed.

Thanks!

Thanks @headrush69

Ill give this a whirl!

 

[VBS Issue hiding Window]

@JoeViking245

Tried that initially, but it would not work and LEDBlinky would not flash or keep the button lit.  For me, it did not work with LEDBlinky.

Thanks,

@Headrush69

Unfortunately, I have super limited skills with this and "ugly fixed" the issue.  Wouldn't know enough to be able to tell you if it is required, but I can say it works 100%.  If you want to streamline it, please have at it.  Would love to have something correct and efficient if it is possible.  Apologies in advance.

[VBS Issue hiding Window]

Solved.  In case anyone needs to hide CMD but keep focus on emulator.  I used hypseus.exe (The program to return to focus on) as the sample below:

Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Dim ObjShell :Set ObjShell = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
WshShell.Run chr(34) & "lair.bat" & Chr(34), 0
ObjShell.AppActivate("hypseus")

 

[VBS Issue hiding Window]

Hi,
I have this vbs script below that hides the cmd window when loading from LB or BB, but it stops LEDBlinky from keeping the button light on.

Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
WshShell.Run chr(34) & "lair.bat" & Chr(34), 0
Set WshShell = Nothing

When I dont use the script and go with a bat file, I lose focus of the game screen and have to click on the mouse to get it focused again.

Any ideas on how to get this to work?

Thanks

[SOLVED]

You will need to check the "Ignore GameQuit Commands" checkbox.

Always Restart Launchbox after each new game is added if you have LB open.  If you dont, it will not work.

Hope this helps someone... somewhere... sometime.

[LEDBlinky controls lightup for a second only]

Figured out another piece to the puzzle.  Just not sure how to fix it.  It seems like the .vbs script is killing the game instance and the button lit goes off because it thinks it is finished.

here is the script.
Dont know enough to know how to fix it.  Anyone ?

Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
WshShell.Run chr(34) & "E:\Arcade\Emulators\Daphne\Command Line (Batch Files)\Dragon's Lair 2 4k.bat" & Chr(34), 0
Set WshShell = Nothing

I think the

is killing LEDBLINKY.

Thanks

[LEDBlinky controls lightup for a second only]

I have it running correctly on MAME, but when I add "Unknown games" and choose say... Daphne Dragon's Lair and set up one button on the control editor, it only stays on when I am scrolling to the game via LB or BB. 

When I select the game to play, the control turns off and three random buttons show up lit in white.

Anyone know of a guide I can use or any tips?

Thanks

[Pac64Led Help]

Found an old pac64led that I was wired up for my xarcade tankstick and took it out when I changes to the xtension but never got around to adding it again.  That was 2014 and now I can remember how I did it back then. 😬
The old pages are gone from the internet that I used back then.   I have the harness with a ton of wiring, but cant remember how to get it to work.   Anyone have some tips or help that can be passed along.  Should I look at a different solution than my pac64led?
Thanks,

[SOLVED - Pressing both player buttons simultaneously exits game]

SOLVED
Needed to use the WinIPAC app to reconfigure it. Thanks, Hope this helps someone else some day.

 

 

[SOLVED - Pressing both player buttons simultaneously exits game]

Cant seem to figure out to stop the pc from sending ESC when player 1 (#1 above letters) & Player 2 (#2 above letters) are pressed at the same time.  Pressing player 1 then pressing player 2 sends Esc and closes MAME. Almost close retroarch (confirm is required) and exits all other emulators and game. help!  So lost.

Thanks,

[SOLVED - Pressing both player buttons simultaneously exits game]

So I went here to see if when I press Player 1 and 2, what does that combination does?

https://www.toptal.com/developers/keycode/for/escape

It indeed send the escape key.  Nothing in lb or bb.  it is my machine. How can I stop that?  I dont want to lose the other hotkeys like Alt+Tab, etc

Thanks,

[SOLVED - Pressing both player buttons simultaneously exits game]

@C-Beats Thanks, Apologies for not knowing where the "Close Active Window" settings are.  Would that be in LB or BB?  How do I fix it?
