sirgubster9 Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 Sega model 2 emulator has a bunch of great shooting games that work with a mouse or light gun. And the system allows you to configure the controls from within the game, but once you pick a game that is a shooter it hijacks the mouse to use within the game. How the heck do you configure the controls when you cant use the mouse to go to the controls menu and you definitely cant double click to configure a new key. Please help. Thanks.

Retro808 Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 Just make sure the game does not launch in full screen. Open emulator.exe or emulator_multicpu.exe (which ever you use) and make sure under video "auto switch to fullscreen" is not ticked. Then launch a game. The mouse will still be taken over but in this mode you can now click on the Game/Configure Controls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirgubster9 Posted April 18, 2018 Author Share Posted April 18, 2018 I have done this method you speak of and as soon as my mouse goes over the window it goes away and once I leave the window it comes back. I am unable to click on anything. Is there something else you are doing or something else I am not doing? How about this... is there any way to press a keyboard key instead of double clicking to configure the controls? Because if I use some skill I can get to the control configure using just the keyboard, but I still cant double click. I tried enter, it did not work.

sirgubster9 Posted April 18, 2018 Author Share Posted April 18, 2018 Oh you know what, it's possible I didn't do un clicking within the video settings. I believe I might have done it within that extra little settings exe that you can open and I definitely did the alt f4 method. I will double check your method and confirm and get back to you when I get home today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirgubster9 Posted April 18, 2018 Author Share Posted April 18, 2018 Tried it. Doesn't work. My mouse completely goes away even if I'm not on the window unless I press the window key on my keyboard to get my mouse back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My mouse completely goes away even if I'm not on the window unless I press the window key on my keyboard to get my mouse back. Not sure what is going on. As long as the game is not in full screen you should be able to set controls. So launch a game and if it launches full screen hit Escape to drop it to windowed mode. From there choose Game/Configure controls. Or launch just the .exe and uncheck "auto switch to fullscreen" then launch a game and set controls. Are the options greyed out and you cannot select it once the mouse comes back or is it when you get your mouse back once you move over the options list the mouse goes away again?

sirgubster9 Posted April 18, 2018 Author Share Posted April 18, 2018 I can set controls for all my other games just not shooting games.. virtua cop, house of the dead, etc. Nothing is greyed out, if I use some skill I can actually still use the keyboard to select different options. What happens is as soon as the game starts my mouse completely disappears. I then can hit like the windows key to get out of the game to get my mouse back. Then as soon as I put my mouse over the game window it disappears again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirgubster9 Posted April 19, 2018 Author Share Posted April 19, 2018 Re downloaded a new version of the emulator and works totally fine. Thanks for all your help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meecob Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 Hmmm, I have to guess where the pointer is. When I goto windowed mode the pointer is offset to the guns aim. Is there a cross hair overlay so I can see my pointer ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
