Tried and tested myself. Looks like I'll give this a miss then. Not really worth what it would cost for a wiimote and Dolphin bar, may aswell pay some extra and get the aimtrek gun at that point. Good for those who already have a spare wiimote I guess. It's a shame that after all these years with LCD displays we still haven't got anything as good as the old light guns were on CRT's.

So back to square one Do you have other Xinput devices? Either xbox controllers or PS3/PS4 with a wrapper like ScpDriver? I have a similar problem when my PS3 controler is on, can only have one of them connected at the same time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can confirm, DolphinBar doesnt work with third party wiimotes, but supposedly you could connect them with any other bluetooth dongle and USB sensor, that's the preferred method por Dolphin since now it detects wiimotes natively without third party drivers from dolphinbar, although I havent done it myself.

Got to build and boot the modified touchmote bin, thanks again for pointing me in the right direction. Sadly, another problem! :'( I can connect the wiimote to my modified touchmote, buttons respond but no way to get the cursor to move in either mouse mode or touch cursor. When i try with regular touchmote, the cursor and mouse mode both work, Maybe pertinent to mention, iam not using a mayflash dolphin bar but a real wii bar powered by a wii. Sorry to bother you again with this, i am about to give up myself, but i wanted to check if you had any idea. Thank you! At some point I had a similar problem and I fixed it by reinstalling regular Touchmote and replacing all drivers and signatures, although your case is weird since one version works and other doesnt... Still worth a shot. Either that or try building it again and pay attention for any warnings, maybe you got an important error at some point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can easily unplug that, but I like controlling bigbox with a pad. So I wonder if using my neogeo stick, or a genesis pad via Mayflash adaptor as the main controller would negate this issue. Working at the moment but i'll try without the xbox1 pad and see how I get on. Appreciate that Spacorn cheers!

You could automate open/close Touchmote and enable/disable devices whenever you open/close certain apps with scripts, it's what I do, I became well versed in autohotkey solely by fixing issues like these lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds perfect for this problem actually. Do you have a rough guide on sorting that in touchmote so i'm not fumbling around in it so much getting that in place?

Silentnight Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 (edited) I'll just confirm, I've quickly tried touchmote with every usb device off except the dolphin bar, mouse & keyboard turned on, and the continuous scrolling down issue persists. You can power down the wii remote, and scrolling continues regardless until you shut touchmote down. So definitely need a way to terminate touchmote once Mame shuts down. No idea why my system doesn't like LB/BB and touchmote with controllers turned on in the options. Very odd, but I have had random problems before.

Silentnight Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 (edited) OK sorry to spam, but I just found what the issue is. If you select the properties of the 360 pad touch mote creates, the x axis/y axis box shows the cursor at the bottom left hand corner. LB/BB is picking this up regardless of if you set it to use a specific controller. That's where the scrolling down is coming from. See attachment for screen grab showing the axis in properties. Now it's just how to override/negate that axis...* *Just to confirm the wii remote isn't controlling that axis stated in the box and the cursor doesn't change from bottom left no matter where you move the remote to.

spacorn Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 (edited) Did you try calibrating it in the game devices panel? That usually solves issies where an axis is picking up a direction when its centered In any case, it sounds like a script would definitely work as a workaround for your use case. Instead of launching the mame executable from launchbox, you could direct it to a silent BAT that... - Launches touchmote.exe, waits for its process to be opened - Then opens mame's executable, while passing any command line arguments needed (whatever you have setup on launchbox for options and lauching roms), waits for it to be closed - After mame is closed, it terminates touchmote.exe. The script ends, you're back on launchbox Of the top of my head I dont know the specific lines you'd need to write (I'm much more familiar with autohotkey than regular windows bats at this point, it's been a long time since I made the switch :p), but I'm sure that googling around you can find many examples, speciallu around mame and arcade cabinets communities. If you can't figure it out, I could give it a try next time I sit on my gaming PC where I fiddle with this kind of stuff Edited July 28, 2017 by spacorn 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can't figure it out, I could give it a try next time I sit on my gaming PC where I fiddle with this kind of stuff You can't calibrate sadly as it's a virtual pad Touchmote has created, that axis is for the right stick but oddly enough even if you have the wii remotes pointer designated to the right stick, while you're moving it around that axis doesn't move. As an aside, what is even more strange is, even with touchmote not running if you enable the option you told me about earlier in LB (use Z axis to scroll) I can replicate this issue with no pad being used, menus scroll downward erratically in LB. I think the virtual pad touchmote installs messes with LB's controller feature (which of course is only activated when you buy big box). I think the easiest way to completely get round this issue for me I've come to realise is to turn off controller support in LB/BB and then use an app like "Xpadder" with a pad to navigate LB/BB menu's instead using keyboard keys mapped to the pad.

KD90 Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 (edited) Hi everyone, new here. I've had no trouble getting 2 wiimotes working in Mame, but has anyone had any success getting 2 wiimotes synced through the dolphin bar to work through DemulShooter etc? Problem is that you can't run the Wiimotes raw through the dolphin bar? Do i have to bite the bullet and buy AimTrak guns?

I haven't done it myself successfully but I think you need to set your Xinput devices in DemulShooter and then make a Touchmote profile with the stick and buttons you set there, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spacorn Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 I think you're supposed to only set a Touchmote profile for Xinput controlls (your "Pointer" as either Left Stick or Right Stick), then in DemulShooter configure your controller preferance for said Xinput (Left Stick or Right Stick, and which buttons will act as left/middle/right click), and that's it. When hooked up right, DemulShooter is supposed to take over your Demul configuration, there's nothing to setup inside it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I finally got it to compile without any errors. It loads up and connects correctly but same as you, buttons work but no IR functions\cursor. Anybody any ideas\fix\updates? Many Thanks!
