floodie Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 (edited) Hi guys I have my build sorted for lightguns and all i am trying to do is add house of the dead 2. I have started using Demul, and set it all up so when i open Demul indepentantly of launchbox, then select HOTD2 it loads, fine.... I have added it to Launch box, when i double click it it simply launches Demul and sticks there. Nothing on my build uses Demul, ONLY HOTD2 and these 2 screens shots are how i have the emulator set up : I have also seen a topic in here where someone suggests using a Batch file with this command inside "demul.exe -run=naomi -rom=hotd2" - If i turn off "use an emulator" and point the launchbox title to this Bat file it starts Demul and then loads HOTD2 fine!..... However......... i cannot use ESC to exit the game like normal because the Emulator had a running AHK script within it(which is now turned off).... Also, an odd thing but my Player 1 no longer starts the game when going this way (P2 works fine however). It seems i keep getting so close but just cannot get it 100% - I also added DemulShooter as an additional App but thats not linking but i can deal with that once its running and closing properly. Please help ! I just need HOTD2 running with Sinden on here for a party in a couple days. Sounds crazy i know, it means a lot to the chap. thanks Edited April 12 by floodie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

floodie Posted April 12 Author Share Posted April 12 HI Neil thanks - Well, because its the only instance on the machine that uses Demul (only for HOTD2) ive assumed there is no need to name them independantly. All my dreamcast games use redream Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
floodie Posted April 12 Author Share Posted April 12 What i find very odd is - When i launch the Bat file i talk about earlier outside of Launch box then it loads, and the P1 start works as it should.... However when i simply get Launchbox to point and load that bat file it loads fine however P1 button does not work on my arcade machine.. Its peculiar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise, you're sending the command demul.exe -run=naomi -rom="hotd2" What want is (as you noted) demul.exe -run=naomi -rom=hotd2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k_rollo Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 By the way, Demul has long been discontinued. If you want to play Atomiswave/NAOMI/NAOMI 2 arcade, it is strongly recommended to use Flycast instead. Personally, I prefer the standalone. And yes, I have HOTD2 set up using mouse as lightgun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I opened note pad and pressed side button or anything on the gun and it entered the given characters fine so its not the gun buttons.

k_rollo Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 Is Sinden being recognised as mouse input? If so, it should be compatible with Flycast, because Flycast accepts mouse input. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
