Instructions : The only thing users need to do is run the setup.exe once the build is extracted that is the only step to use the build. The setup.exe is just installing different dependencies for games like direct x as well as setting some paths for mamehooker based on the setup.exe location since mamehooker has trouble using relative paths. It is worth noting that this build needs to be extracted to the root of any drive but does not need a specific drive letter to work.

 

 

 

What’s Inside This Lightgun Build?

 

Build Compatibility : Build is compatible with all lightguns listed below even the new RS3 Reapers. Sinden, Blamcon, Retroshooters, Retroshooter MX24's, Retroshooter RS3 Reapers, Gunr4ir,  Aimtrack, Xenas, X Gunner and Arcade Europe)  

 

Mamehooker Section : Created one-click tool that auto-configures guns for mamehooker that way users don't have to mess with com ports it will detect the com port of the guns and will update the proper files based on the gun and the correct settings needed for that gun for any current lightgun that supports mamehooker, offering plug-and-play functionality. All you have to do is plug in your guns and choose the tool that corresponds to your gun and then the build is setup for those guns with mamehooker. 

 

Basic Build Updater : Built in basic build updater for updates of new lightgun games as well as updates for any tools/lightgun software. I am the only person working on this so it will be updated as I am able to in my free time.This was mostly made for fixing any issues that come up so that is my primary focus. 

 

BigBox Lightgun Control : Users can control BigBox entirely with any of their lightguns.

 

Expanded game library : Added many games, some of which I believe are unique to this build. A detailed game list is available [here].

 

Better Automatic Demulshooter,  Mame, & Teknoparrot Configuration : Improved previous code that automatically configured demulshooter and teknoparrot to make it function better it detects lightguns just like before and automatically changes to the correct lightguns in teknoparrot and demulshooter same goes for any game in the mamehooker section no need to change any mame, demulshooter or teknoparrot settings.

 

Relative Paths : Made sure every tool and game is using relative paths so no specific drive letter is needed for this build. I tested this quite a bit let me know if you run into issue related to this.

 

Automatic Lightgun Detection : Automatically identifies/configures connected lightguns (e.g., Sinden, Blamcon, Retroshooters, Retroshooter MX24, Retroshooter RS3 Reapers, Gunr4ir, Aimtrack, X Gunner, Xenas and Arcade Europe) and adjusts borders and settings as needed like before code has been updated and improved for this as well. 

 

Wii Section Fix : The wii section had an issue with sinden guns where it switched the trigger/reload buttons I have created a tool that implements sinden profiler to fix this issue if a sinden gun is detected. Otherwise if another type of lightgun is detected it will function as normal.

 

 

 

Known Issues & Troubleshooting Tips

 

Mamehooker First Run : Mamehooker may need to be ran as administrator once from the \Launchbox\Emulators\Mamehooker folder if you are getting the ledwizm.ocx error after running it once as administrator you won't have to run it again as the build does this automatically.

 

Bigbox First Run : There may be some errors with the bigbox theme on the first run of bigbox there are a few extra files that I moved into a folder where they weren't needed bigbox will correct the theme on the second launch of bigbox.

 

Rpcs3 : May need to go into all RPCS3 folders for ps3 games and open rpcs3.exe to run the games once from there if games do not run for you folders are below.  Games\PC Games\Time Crisis 4 Two Players
