Step 1: Run Setup.exe
Run `Setup.exe` and go through the installation process. This installs dependencies (like DirectX) and sets paths for MAMEHooker based on its location, since MAMEHooker has trouble using relative paths.
Step 1A: Choose a Drive Letter
This build uses almost all relative paths, so the drive letter does **not** matter.
Step 1B: Place the Build at the Root of the Drive
If your build is on drive `H:`, paths should look **exactly** like: H:\Launchbox H:\Tools
If this step is skipped, the build will **not work correctly**. This is very important.
Step 2: Configure the Settings
After installation, open the application and adjust the settings as needed:
- Click on the Options menu
- Select Preferences
- Set your desired resolution and audio settings
🧩 MAMEHooker Configuration
Step 1: Set COM Ports in Device Manager
- Open **Device Manager**
- Expand **Ports (COM & LPT)**
- Right-click each device → **Properties → Port Settings → Advanced**
- Assign COM ports as follows:
Step 2: COM Port Assignments by Device
- OpenFire
- Gun 1 → COM1
- Gun 2 → COM2
- Blancom
- Gun 1 → COM1
- Gun 2 → COM2
- Gun4IR
- Gun 1 → COM1
- Gun 2 → COM2
- XGunner
- Gun 1 → COM1
- Gun 2 → COM2
- MX24
- Gun 1 & 2 → COM5 (Hub)
- RS3 Reaper
- Hub → COM5
- Gun 1 → COM6
- Gun 2 → COM7
- Gun 3 → COM8
- Gun 4 → COM9
- Turn off recoil switch (set slider to the middle)
