[@ShakeelNaim]

First of all .. thank you thank you thank you for creating these awesome files for all of us. Honestly having tinkered with multiple systems over many years I truly appreciate this. Now, I’m using ROG Ally X with EmuDeck and installed M2emulator a couple of days ago. I swear it was working flawlessly the first time - I could play all every game I tried. However I seemed to have changed something, god knows what, and I can’t seem to get the lightgun games working. I have my keyboard and mouse connected and launch Virtua Cop. I can see the blue target reticle and it moves around perfectly. I press 1 to start the game. But the left mouse button isn’t firing shots (neither is the right one). The target moves around perfectly but no shots. I did notice that the A button on the Ally is firing the shots but it’s firing them at the top edge of the screen rather than where the target is. Any ideas what I’ve done?

[@smiks23]

Amazing work thank you

[@ArmandoGrescaFresca]

In my case, for some unknown reason, and despite copying the preconfigured files, player 1 is assigned the keyboard controls and player 2 is assigned the buttons on the Xbox 1 controller. And in laser gun games, player 2 has the mouse and player 1 cannot move the crosshair

[@warpedpolygon]

That's strange. The lightgun games may enumerate in reverse order, mouse 2 is actually mouse 1. But the controllers shouldn't be doing that.

[@blackvulcan3]

Awesome, great job. I’m struggling to get my AE lightgun to bind to the games using the change in mouse settings in the ini file. It’s still awesome though. I’ll smash Daytona and Sega Rally instead.

[@veteranocolosal8740]

Bro thank you very much But I have only 1 problem with the emulator And with F12, when you press it, it asks you to press F12 again to confirm and save your game and F10 is the same, you press it and it asks you to press F10 again to load your saved game. So my problem is that when I hit F12 to save and press F10 to load the emulator it closes Can this be solved?

I know that this is a huge commitment to set up, and your videos are always easy to explain. I just registered for your Patreon and would encourage others to do the same!!

the Reshade Manager hasn't seen an update for a couple of years and also doesn't allow for anything else other than bezels and boarders. This is fine for Light Gun users so can cover it for that use case only.

[@qammarul2333]

Hi great work, could you answer a couple of questions? 1) How can you set the cheats to be set automatically? At the moment, I have to esc back to windowed mode and use the keyboard to manually select the cheats. I've tried editing the lua file, but that seems to just swap the menu options around, rather than setting the default. Also, when in window mode, cannot select any of the menus with the mouse (have to use KB), I presume this is linked to the rawinput setting you mention in the video. Thanks in advance

[@warpedpolygon]

Cheats as far as I'm aware can only be selected when in windowed mode. Yes, when in windowed mode with the light gun games the mouse cursor is locked to the window. This is because rawinput is being used. If you are only using 1 players you can deactivate rawinput and it doesnt lock the cursor. Press the windows key at the same time as dragging the cursor out of the window to unlock the cursor.

[@TheNickybocker]

I got the gun to control the cursor on the screen. 1080p The cursor jumps from one side to the other of the screen like there is no in between on the screen or skipping over most of the screen like it is moving so fast there is no control. It does the same thing in calibration.

What is the texture issue?

[@homegrown6845]

@@warpedpolygon Every window has this texture to make it look like an actual window, normally that texture would be static like in your video, but on my end it rapidly flickers, like two different textures constantly glitching on top of the other. There are also other subtle visual glitches that I can't describe efficiently, like in stage 1 where the manor in the distance has this rectangular black outline over it's roof. Is it a hardware thing for the Steam Deck? Or should I attempt to tune the settings for it to accommodate the Steam Deck's hardware?

[@KvltKommando]

hey man anyway I can adjust this for 21:9? I'll probably figure it out on my own but if you did make a 21:9 version of the config that'd be really cool but I understand if it's not something you can do easily or have time for. I'll try just manually changing the res myself first and report back. I remember doing it myself a long time ago it was working most games but I didn't know how to properly calibrate steering like I mentioned on your Model 3 emulator tutorial and I think lightgun games were a tiny bit off near the edges of the screen but not enough to keep me from beating almost every stage of Gunblade NY

[@warpedpolygon]

Gunblade is a pig to get 100% accurate. It has no on screen coordinates to work from so I got it as good as I can. You can try 21:9 but I know this emulator is a bit picky with resolutions. Change to a 21:9 res in the ini file. Let me know how you get on. Analog Saturation is adjusted in the test menus for all model 2 games. Unlike model 3 where some racers need this setting in the ini file

[@spursrule44]

Great work, do you have a steam deck specific ini file? Game mode defaults to 480p, but desktop mode does seem to work at higher resolution, but only at 16:10.

[@DynoMikeGaming]

Hey warped, how do you make start on free play games the trigger button? (left mouse click?) it wont let me change any settings in window mode because the mouse gets stuck in the game itself...

[@warpedpolygon]

This is somewhat an issue. Lightgun inputs are hardcoded and as far as I'm aware can't be changed. If you turn rawinput off in the ini you'll be able to access the menu in the window and change inputs. When I tried this the inputs I chose didn't take. It's generally better to keep inputs like start off a control input that is being heavily used. Some game don't like 'non gameplay inputs' being spammed when actually in game.... especially if it's a simultaneous input. It's generally ok, until you hit a game that it messes with and chase your tail for 3 days trying to figure out what the hell is going on.

[@DynoMikeGaming]

@@warpedpolygon cant you change individual inputs per game? Worth a try maybe to one of the buttons on my gun then?

@@DynoMikeGaming i dont think you can for the light gun games. unless there's a way to directly edit the cfg file directly...? I tried but failed as have no idea what i need to actually edit it.

[@Timmonius311]

It works great. For some reason, though, with my PS4 controller, Sega Rally pulls to the left slightly. Have any idea why?

[@warpedpolygon]

Yes! And it has nothing to do with controllers or the emulator. Sega Rally Arcade cheats the player by having no centre value for the steering. As in the steering can never be dead centre cus that's the way they coded it. I was gonna put out a video on how Arcade games subtly screw you out of money with this being the main offender.

[@Timmonius311]

@warpedpolygon I never knew that. That's wild. I ended up using an xbox controller with xinput and it felt a little better. Thanks for the reply and thank you for the video. Extremely helpful!

So it’s not possible use steam inputs on light gun games specifically for house of the dead? I managed to get this running on my steam deck but they only thing I managed to get working is the trackpad cursor, however I can’t start the game or add credits with the layout on steam.

Problem is the racers have a huge steering range which makes em twitchy as all that analog volume/range is stuffed into the range of the left stick. The only way around this is to use 3rd party software that allows you to set your own analog saturation with your controller. As for the controller vibrating I'm not too sure. With racers it's the force feedback that is interpreted into vibration. I'll test mine when i get in to see if that happens on my build

What pc specs do are required?

[@warpedpolygon]

The emulator hasn't been updated since 2015. I'd say you're good on most modern hardware with dedicated graphics up to 1080p

[@ricthething]

​@@warpedpolygonDon't worry, this emulator runs smoothly even with 2 GB of RAM and without GPU

Hi mate. Done this. Got house of the dead. When I go in full screen, after around 5/10 seconds it kicks me out into a small window. Any ideas?

[@warpedpolygon]

Not sure why that's happened. Could be scaling issues

@@richwatson1985 quite possibly, the emulator is fussy with resolutions

Hi mate I tried to send you a message on patreon but it doesn't seem to allow me to message you unless I join. I just wanted to ask you if I join your patreon would it be possible for me to download your model 2 and model 3 rom sets. It's just that I'm having such a hard time finding the proper rom set for these. Thank you.

[@warpedpolygon]

Hi mate, sorry for the long reply. Just to set some expectations, I wont be providing anything other than configuration files. Even on my Patreon. Sorry bud.

Could be amazing if one day we could access the files... Launchbox does not valid the subscribtion

Sometimes it takes a couple of days. How long you been waiting?

I'm putting the configurations on github as well, as an alternative to LB. Supermodel up and link is in the video description for the setup guide. kzbin.info/www/bejne/p3fIf3SQhLaiqZY Model 2 will be ready in github very soon

can i add cheats to this emulator?

Yeah, they are already there in the LUA scripts. When in windowed mode they'll be in the options

so i got my arcade cabinet coversion complete now thanks for your help kzbin.info/www/bejne/g4m4lqOhdq2UiK8 still want 2 things make the buttons blink and race leader lights turn on when 1st place is this possible ?

[@warpedpolygon]

That looks awesome, nevet thought my work would help with a project as grand as this. I'm not sure how the emulation handles lamps and lights. By the look of it your knowledge surpasses mine lol. If the emulation registers lamps correctly then it should be possible, just a case of getting a light to turn on when the emulator does so. How you do that with this emulator is something I'm not versed in. Lemme take a took around the test menu

[@RetroMechaniac]

@@warpedpolygon if i look at the lua script of manx tt could i not use the memory adres that reads the position? i think this adress is known because the 1ste place cheat uses this. i also got 3 small programs (numlock.exe, scrolllock.exe & capslock.exe) using this with on or off after the exe turns the led on and off im not a expert in writing a lua script but do you think this would be possibe ? something like I960_WriteWord RAMBASE+0x330F8 = equal to 1 -> scrolllock.exe on I960_WriteWord RAMBASE+0x330F8 = not equal to 1 -> scrolllock.exe off some guy created something called ramjetVR for the VR buttons on Daytona that work so i think its possible if i only knew how to write it donw in the lua file :) this would be only for the race leader light for the start button light i'm thinking something in the same line ram adress for credits = zero -> numlock.exe off ram adress for credits = not equal to zero -> numlock.exe on the blinking i can do electronicaly you think you can help me here ? :)

[@RetroMechaniac]

i tried messing in the LUA and with OS.Execute numlock.exe i got some activity on the led but a window keeps poping open infinitly, and i would like to have it run once, not infinitly, this also slows down the emulator i also tried keybd_event(VK_NUMLOCK,0x45,KEYEVENTF_EXTENDEDKEY,0,0) keybd_event(VK_NUMLOCK,0x45,KEYEVENTF_EXTENDEDKEY,KEYEVENTF_KEYUP,0) but no luck here it must be possible but i just dont know LUA code
