Ive had this working in mame for a while now and its pretty cool. The question i have is how to get it working in retroarch to use gun games and paddles in atari and nes super nes sega genesis and what not also on pcsx2 if its even possible.
I have only managed to get this setup to work with mame and sega model 2 and 3. PCSX2 you hasve to use the nuvee plugin which i just thought didnt work well and is one player only. not managed to get it working on anything else yet ! Worth a try though

Hi guys, im using a virtual pin and Ive setup LB with a few emulators. Its a 2 screen setup. Screen 1 (in windows) is the main playfield screen and screen 2 is the backglass screen. These numbers are predefined by windows depending on the monitor inputs used on the GPU. Ideally I dont want to change them.
So the problem is LB is opening games on the playfileld screen (monitor 1) and not monitor 2. I want all games to open on monitor 2. Im assuming the best way to do this is to use an AHK script to force the opening emulator to move to monitor 2.
Is there a genius out there that could help with that?

Using bigbox unified theme. Where can i download the video backgrounds for playlists like MARIO, STREETFIGHTER etc?

H everyone. I have just managed to setup, with a great deal of help from member Tomkun (much respect), wiimotes, dolphin bar and Mame for light gun games. Everything works great.
Using the wiimotes relies on a windows programme being open called TOUCMOTE. At the moment it opens with windows. The problem is if i want to play dolphin emulator games using the wiimotes havig Touchmote open seems to cause some conflicts with the wii controllers.
It would great if i could have a script to open and terminate touchmote when Mame is run....... is that even possible with LB?

You can make the zapper profile default by copying it and renaming it default.json in the Touchmote keymaps directory.
Thanks mate, all done and working at the moment

JUst for the purposes of ensuring anyone else reading this in the future avoids my school boy error! Player 1 gun works perfect with Tomkun's settings. However i just could not get P2 working. Then I realised why!
I had 2 profiles in Touchmote, player 1 was switched to Tom's 'zapper' settings, however I didnt realise you had to do that for both controllers! Held home button wii mote for 3 secoinds and selected zapper. Now both guns work!
Thank you Tomkun, amazing assistance you have provided me with over the last few days, cant thank you enough.
Now just to work out how i make the zapper profile the default. ALso still have some reboots to do to ensure it remembers P2 gun settings

Am I right in saying that your controller config has to match the layout in touchmote?

Your MAME settings all look correct and from what you are describing, it does sound like your Touchmote settings are a bit screwy. The settings I sent to you work here, so it might be easier for you to set up Touchmote from scratch by yourself.
As long as you make sure that the IR pointer controls the left stick and the trigger is "A" it should work. You can set the other buttons as you wish. I like to have the Wiimote's A button as "Start", but that's just preference. The "2" button there was to work with another game, with unconfigurable start buttons. It doesn't affect MAME at all.
Thanks Tomkun. Im fine with messing about the with touchmote setup for player 2. however do i then need to edit your controller config file to match my changes in touchmote?
-
Just to be clear, if i go in to the windows controller settings, player 1 wii mote works fine, but player 2, when you move controller you can see the X and Y axis red line moving, but NOT the little cross in the box. Also no buttons are mapped. When i press controller buttons nothing happens. Surely this is something to do with the touchmote setup?
-
I also noted that in touchmote both controllers are mapped to LEFT stick - is that right? And lastly that button A is mapped to 2+start?
Pic shows that configuration
-
Sorry attached images are not in order. Various pics of my setup.
Player 1 light gun seems fine.
Player 2 is an issue. Noted that in the windows game controller configuration, when i moved player 1 wimote it was showing me the crosshair moving in a box correctly. However player 2 wiimote does not move the little cross hair plus sign, instead Z axis moves. Also no buttons are mapped on player 2 wii mote. - which would obviosuly explain why its not working in mame !
Any advice on how to check config of player 2 wiimote Tom?
Thanks

Sure thing!
Could you send a screenshot of your windows USB controller window and a copy of the mame64.exe -verbose output? That should help tell us where the missing controller is going!
just sorting screenshots now. i have no idea how to run mame verbose though

Same, latest. I'm going to double check as soon as I get home. If it's not something with my config filrs, it must be on your end somewhere. I suspect you have a rogue cfg file somewhere overwriting the controls.
Hi Tomkun. I deleted all other config files in mame, inc all the default ones, so the only config file is your controller file.
The good news is the games are fine with player 1 wiimote. Home button adds credit, A button starts a game and trigger works fine.
Player 2 doesnt work though.
Would you mind if I posted some screenshots of the various settings I now have to see if you can compare to yours for me?

Thanks again Tomkun. I do really appreciate your help.
Thanks for tip on lightgun in config. changed it to keyboard.
Ive downloaded the zapper config and placed in correct folder. selected it in touchmote. started mame (ensured all previous config files have been deleted).
Lethal enforcers worked for up and down gun movement but not for left and right. the setting is wrong for that if i select input for this machine :
Lightgun X is not right, the Y is correct. I can change it obviously but i assume mame will loose whatever i put in there

You shouldn't need to configure any controls in Mame at all. You might need to configure touchmote though. I'll send you my Touchmote zapper config in about 10 minutes.
ok ! thank you. Im missing something becuause ive just restarted Mame (having just configured it) and started lethal enforcers for first time and its forgotten X and Y axis settings for both and also player 1 button 1 and 2 .
AGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
-
Im missunderstanding you i think arent I Tomkun?
Are you saying i do not need to configure any controls because your config file has them in? or do i still need to config player 1 and 2 controls ?
Attached screenshot of mame.ini
-
When configuring the controls within Mame, im setting both guns up as light guns yeh?
-
Alright your suggestion worked Tomkun. Deleted individual config files. Configured general controls for P1 and seems that all the light gun games are working fine. Now to config player 2.
Earlier when i did this it did loose player 2 after a reboot!

The cfg file I sent you does all that. Did you download the full thing, or just the part in the textbox? It's at the bottom of the post. I'll post it here again. Also make sure you delete the default entry too.
downloaded the complete file. pointed mame.ini to it (as you explained). Im just testing it again now.

The cfg file I sent you should work for all lightgun/positional gun games by default. There should be no per-game configuration necessary except for edge-cases with weird control schemes. TIme Crisis springs to mind as it requires the pedal. If you have configured the games individually, perhaps try deleting their config files (back them up of course!) and try again with just my config.
ok thanks Tom I will try deletng the individual config files created there are only a few. But surely i will still need to tell mame that the trigger on my wiimote (as an example) i mapped to button A ??

With help from everyone on this thread, in particular Tomkun I have managed to setup a couple of 2 player light gun games using mame and so far after several reboots it seems that mame has kept my settings so far ! So thats great news. Thank you.
The problem im having now is that its quite a long hard job setting up the gun controls for 2 guns for each light gun game - about 50 or so in this mame set i have that work.
If I launch a game i can configured the individual machine and it saves, but if i configure all then it seems to loose some of the buttons assignments (in particular the X and Y axis settings for both guns).
not sure if im doing anything wrong !?!?!

It does but its not very good (IMO). of course if you are using wiimotes then you can of course play the various wii gun games that are available (about 40 or so)
