Trying to make an all light gun cab.

[DieKatzchen]

I've got dual guns working in Mame, but apparently GameEx is another story. I can make the guns present as a touch device in GameEx, but they don't work unless I enable mouse too. but for some reason when I do that the menu scrolls all the way to the right on load for no discernable reason. Can anyone explain what I'm doing wrong?

aimtraks?

Touchpad support enabled?

Nah, wiimotes with a software called Touchmote. Want aimtraks, can't exactly afford them.

I think so. Do I have to do anything other than turning it on in it's menu? The one after the inputs?

Actually, I'm pretty sure it's enabled because shooting buttons makes them work, I just can't get the menus to behave. 

[Draco1962]

Actually was going to suggest disabling touchscreen if it is enabled.

[stigzler]

Yeah - disable it. If I recall, the wiimotes bridge (touchmote) just turns them effectively into a mouse? Thus, you wouldn't need touchscreen support. Just use wiimotes as a mouse?

[DieKatzchen]

Huh. I was using touch because using mouse mode makes the pointer (EDIT: "flip") out in windows when there are two guns, but apparently in GameEx it only pays attention to the first one it sees. Now I just need to find a way to make my targets bigger. Selecting a game is okay if I 'change view' until it's icons, but the 'play game' menu is still hard to use. Any way to make that icons?

I do have something in the works for this (gun/touchscreen/wheel) but its taking me a while. If GameEx doesn't work out for you with this setup please check back.

[DieKatzchen]

Excellent! It's still in planning so I can wait. Also gotta figure out what I'm gonna do for the one three player light gun game in existence, Laser Ghost. 

[stigzler]

love me some lightguns. Cab pics?

[DieKatzchen]

Like I said, still in planning. Might be moving to a new job that pays literally twice as much, so might be upgrading the whole design. Actual working coin doors and aimtraks, the works.
