Setup Guide

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 1.a: Choose a Drive Letter

This build uses almost all relative paths, so the drive letter does not matter. Choose a drive letter or use the letter that Windows assigned to the drive.



Step 1.b: Place the Build on the Root of Your Drive

If your build is on drive H:, for example the paths should look exactly as they do below: 

H:\Launchbox
H:\Tools

If this step is skipped, the build will not work correctly. This is very important.



Step 2: MAMEHooker / Hook Of The Reaper Setup


Step 2.a: COM Port Setup

Set COM ports for all players based on gun type using the COM Port Assignment List below.

  1. Open Device Manager
  2. Expand Ports (COM & LPT)
  3. Right-click each device → Properties → Port Settings → Advanced
  4. Assign COM ports as follows.
  5. If you have trouble identifying Player 1 and Player 2 under (COM & LPT), unplug the guns and plug them back in one at a time; the correct device will disappear/reappear.

COM Port Assignment List
