Wii remote for use a gun
-
I took for granted that it might not be necessary. I'll try that this evening as well. I take it that the same goes for all the other cores I'm testing with.
i can't speak for the other cores, but certainly the latest RA and mame2003 SHOULD enable multiple mice to be used. previously it worked ok with one. i'm not sure about pointer vs absolute devices and changes around those in other corees - that's a bit of creep from what this github issue is about, but maybe that code has changed also.
-
Tonight, I focused on lr-mame2003 running 'Terminator 2'. I compiled the latest 2003 nightly and tested both udev and linuxraw as the input drivers. All combinations came with the same results as last night. The two standard mice will not function at the same time, despite the 'mouse index' setting. Each mouse would operate on it's own, so long as it occupied the mouse0 assignment from the system.
The same holds true with the dolphinBar, except it never registers movement, only clicks when it's occupying the mouse0 assignment from the system. I'll post to the github thread linked above sometime tomorrow, but I'll make sure to only mention the mouse index situation, as it looks like absolute coordinates will be a separate issue.

@mediamogul can you please post your
/opt/home/pi/RetroPie/configs/all/retroarch-core-options.cfg? specifically i'm checking to see that the mame2003-mouse_device setting is set to 'mouse' rather than pointer.FYI it looks like they've closed the issue here: https://github.com/libretro/RetroArch/issues/4775
but i'm not sure anyone tested it using pi + udev + raspbian, etc. you may have found a bug!
-
Ah nice, I forgot about that setting.
mame2003-mouse_device = "mouse"Would that affect the multiple mouse feature, or just the absolute coordinates?

it just makes sure that it listens for a mouse device (ie, standard USB mouse), and following these changes, multiple mice, in theory! it definitely works with one mouse.
BTW you need to make sure you're using a game that understands a mouse device. my test case was always centipede. i didn't test terminator 2 - best to stick with centipede IMO.
if you change the mouse_device to "pointer" mame2003 should understand any recognised absolute devices, but i believe previously the UDEV driver had difficulty with them. absolute devices aren't really covered in these changes AFAIK. best to leave those for the moment.

Shouldn't I be testing with a game that would support two mice, or do you just mean for testing pointer devices?
-
Above, it was thought that better support for pointer devices would come as a side-effect from the recent addition of multiple mouse support for RetroArch. This would have directly related to this thread, but since it isn't the case, it's probably best to continue this discussion here where it's not so off topic.

@BGallagherLA Hi there yes it's paired to the dolphin bar. Plugged into the usb of the pi3.
Sorry it's taken a long time to respond I have been off line so to speak -
This post is deleted! -
@masterful No, you have to go into Retropie settings and pair the Wiimote to your Pi's built-in Bluetooth, after plugging in the DolphinBar. If you did that, then I don't know... I have never had to calibrate anything in AdvMame 1.4 and it's very accurate (except for maybe one or two games, out of like 50).
-
Also, in case anyone is interested, I put a video together a week or so ago, showing how my setup works on Lethal Enforcers and Operation Wolf -

@BGallagherLA
Ok that might help. I've been trying to install touchmote software and I don't think that's been helping me.
I will pair it with the pi3 Bluetooth then try again.
Just compiling a list of 5 games to try.
Thanks for all the help -
@masterful Ah, yeah I don't know what that software is, but as long as you have these games in AdvMame 1.4, you dont have to calibrate anything, except mapping extra buttons on a few games like Operation Wolf, otherwise, trigger works automatically and crosshairs move right away. I have like 50 games that work in this setup, and you can see two that work in the video above, Lethal Enforcers and Operation Wolf. I can get you a full list of the games that work on my setup if you want.

-
@BGallagherLA i too would love a full list. Any chance you could post your config/s for these games. I plan to use advmame only for these games with the dolphinbar so it would save me a lot of time.
-
@mediamogul Is that a new experimental one? Don't believe I have 3.5
-
@edmaul69 No configs needed, and I wouldn't even know where to get the file if I wanted to. All I know is that, if these games are running AdvMame 1.4 (or apparently AdvMame 3.5), no calibration is needed. Literally just plug and play. Only thing you need to do is on games like Operation Wolf is to map the grenade button to the Wiimote, otherwise the trigger acts as both buttons. Anyway, here are all the games that work on AdvMame 1.4:
Alien 3
Bang!
Beast Busters
Blood Bros. (Set 1)
Born To Fight
Bubble Trouble (Japan, Rev C)
Cheyenne
Chiller
Clay Pigeon (Version 2.0)
Crackshot (Version 2.0)
D-Day
Dragon Gun
Ghost Pilots
Ghoul Panic
Laser Ghost (World)
Last Bronx
Lethal Enforcers (11/19/92)
Lethal Enforcers II
Lethal Justice
Line of Fire
Lord of Gun (USA)
Mad Dog McGree
Mechanized Attack
NY Captor
Narc
Ninja Assault
Operation Thunderbolt
Operation Wolf
Polict10 (Police Trainer)
Riot
Shootout
Showdown
Space Gun
Steel Gunner
Terminator 2
The Tin Star
Under Fire
Vs. Duck Hunt
Vs. Freedom Force
Vs. Gunsmoke
Vs. Hogan's Alley
Wanted
Who dun It
Zero Point
Zero Point 2
Zombie RaidI'm sure there are more, but those are the ones I have found that work. Trying to get Area 51 and Maximum Force to work, but those have CHD files and I cant get those working. Newer games like that, and Time Crisis, dont seem to work well. I can technically get Time Crisis working but on my Pi 2 it SUPER laggy and not even really playable. Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any other questions.

I believe it's just listed as 'advmame' under the optional installs and is the latest version of AdvanceMAME. The head developer added official Pi support in version 3.2. It runs very well and has hardware accelerated framebuffer support. The latest AdvanceMESS installs alongside it also.
-
@BGallagherLA thanks for posting this.
Sorry to ask this. Do you have to nap the buttons in the retropie controller setup for this or do they detect automatically in mame?
I tried to pair my Wii remote in retropie config as a blue tooth device but it did not work.
Thanks -
@masterful It should automatically detect the trigger in AdvMame 1.4 but not anything else. If it doesn't detect the trigger button at the bottom, I don't know... are you on the latest version of RetroPie and AdvMame? This only works on the latest version of AdvMame which came out last year and added light gun support, so you may want to uninstall and reinstall AdvMame to get the latest version. There are some games though like Operation Wolf, where the gun has an additional button for grenades, that you have to map the A button for the grenade. Otherwise, the trigger basically acts as both buttons, and you waste all your grenades right away
