[Rpi3] Nes - Duck Hunt with mouse
-
I've tried it before on my Wii and it never turns out well. Most arcade games and some SegaCD games have calibration menus that allow it to work pretty well though. 'Snatcher' is one that comes to mind.
-
@mediamogul now if you can just buy you a pair of atari paddles....
-
They're on their way here as we speak. I even accidentally soldered my watch to my workbench as practice for the mod. I mean, rather than get upset, I'm calling it practice. Regardless, it's stuck pretty good.
-
@mediamogul lol...

wertz from libretro really actively maintains fceumm and has been keeping up with the lightgun improvements.
casdevel and I had originally tested all of the new code with Area 51 / MAME 2003 and Chiller / Nestopia but since then it sounds like some bugs have crept into Nestopia. It would be good to file a bug report with logs if you have a chance.
I haven't seen any new commits for the lightgun api in weeks, so things might be settled down. . If the current lightgun docs turn out to be out of date, tag me into any discussion about it. There's also a pretty awesome libretro-docs crew that would probably pitch in given the chance.
If we undertake to update the docs I'll make sure the libretro devs know so efforts can coordinated with them in case there are future updates planned.
At any rate you see where I'm going. Let me know if we need docs.

@edmaul69 so you are using the dolphinbar and what else? A generic airmouse, a wiimote or what?
-
@chuck_b wiimote. Nice thing about the dolphinbar is the wiimotes sync to it with a pust of the sync button on the wiimote and the dolphinbar. I use the wiimotes with wii, nes, and snes classic controllersand several other controllers i modded to work like a classic controller.
-
@edmaul69 Bit offtopic, but does the dolphin bar with wiimote work with lr-pcsx and mame2003? I'd love to play Elemental Gearbolt on ps1 and Revolution X on mame2003.
-
@darksavior i use a wiimote with a classic controller plugged in. I also have a ps1/2 controller to wiimote adapter. The only problem is there is no l3 and r3 on the analogs. I do use the madcatz fightstick for the wii on mame. I think the mayflash dolphinbar was one of the best things i bought for the pi.
-
@edmaul69 interesting.
How exactly should i set up dolphinbar + wiimote to do the same thing on my pi? -

-
@chuck_b if you put the dolphinbar in mode 2 mouse mode it works like a mouse/ lightgun
-
After you get a gun casing for the Wiimote, you come out much cheaper than buying something like a AimTrak USB light gun and it really works just as well.
-
What's better between Wiimote + DolphinBar and AimTrack?
-
The benefits of the Dolphinbar go further than just light gun support, with the ability to use most any Wii peripheral and you'll come out roughly around $60-$70 for everthing you'd need. Cheaper still if you already have a Wiimote and or Wiimote gun casing. One drawback is that it only supports a single Wiimote as a mouse device.
The Aimtrak USB guns can only be used for light gun gaming, but there is the ability to use multiple guns as mouse devices. A set of two will cost about $300, with one of course being half that. I have a set of Aimtrak guns and a Dolphinbar setup and how they behave is pretty close. However, I'd say the Aimtraks perform a little more smoothly. Still, I wouldn't say it's enough to justify the extra money if all you want to do is play single-player gun games.
-
What about absolute coordinates?
I think that the best way to play games like Duck Hunt is when the position you want to shoot at is exactly the position your controller is pointing.
Is possible to make things work like that? -
Both use absolute coordinates.
-
@mediamogul interesting.
For Wiimote do I need specifically Dolphin Bar? Does Kinect work too? -
Kinect was a motion sensing device. There might be a way to get it to track hand movement and translate it into mouse input. I have to say, it'd be pretty fun to form your hand into a gun shape and have a shot fired every time your thumb comes down. However, it's likely that it would be difficult to set up and somewhat imprecise, if it's even an option at all. The nice thing about the Dolphinbar is that it's very accurate and it doesn't even need drivers, making it foolproof and future proof. All you have to do is plug it in, set it to mode 2 and your Wiimote is then seen as a mouse.
-
so the port I set for mouse is the port in which i plug the Dolphinbar in?
