      @bgallagherla Thanks for that advice! I paired the wiimote via the RetroArch>Bluetooth settings and got Lethal Enforcers running to the point of fun! However, it only works with Mode 2 on the dolphinbar.. it did not work with mode 1 for me.
      Also, I had to map button 1 > trigger pull but after that I wasted an hour. My wife didn't appreciate how many quarters this saved.

      Several other questions I have not see on the forum yet:

      • When I'm in Advmame and hit Tab to setup controls the select bar scrolls unless I balance the wiimote just perfectly. Is there anyway to prevent this? Its a real pain to try and balance the wiimote while using the keyboard to get to the correct control area.

      • advmame-1.4.rc should contain all the changes I make while in the Tab menus but changes don't seem to save. I have reset the permissions on the .rc file to 777 and will try again but not sure if this is a different issue ? I would like to set default controller configs for all advmame games since I am only using advmame for lightgun games.

      Alright, now to get more of these roms working! So far DuckHunt and LE1 worked for me.

      Best!

        @mrmartin79 Glad you got it working! Strange about mode 2 though, always worked on Mode 1 for me, but I've heard others have to change theirs to 2. I have about 50 games that work with this setup.

        As for the balancing act, it is quite the pain, but I guess i've just gotten used to it, and/or learned how to balance it well. As for the advmame-1.4.rc... I honestly have no clue about all of that.

        Anyway, someone asked for my list of working gun games in AdvMame earlier so here are the ones I have got working. I actually added a bunch more last night, but many don't seem to be working - though that's probably a romset/rom issue more than anything. Still, a good rule of thumb is the older the game, the better chance it will work. Others have said they have Area 51 working, but it has yet to work with me, and many games with 3D graphics seem to be too much for the Pi. Also I have a Pi 2, so that's prob another issue. Anyway here's my gun game list as of now.

          @bgallagherla did you have to configure controls for each game? I know some have slightly different control schemes like Operation Wolf's 2nd button but just wondering what is typical.

          Is Mad Dog McGree via Dosbox?

            @bgallagherla Is there any romset that has House of the Dead or Time Crisis working?

              @mrmartin79 Nope. All of then worked with the crosshairs moving and the trigger button working without any configuration or calibration. The only one i had to map a button for was Operation Wolf and (i think Operation THunderbolt too), since there is an extra button for the grenades. If you dont map the Wiimote's "A" button to that, then it basically makes both the trigger and grenade button as one button - i.e. you fire all your grenades first right away, before using your regular bullets. But for the rest, its just the trigger and that worked automatically. And I use my keyboard for Select/Insert Coin (5) and Start (1) although I should map those to my other Wiimote buttons.

              Re: Mad Dog, i dont know, i have Dosbox games but haven't tried any light gun games on that yet.

                @hurricanefan Time Crisis technically works but it's SUPER laggy, not even worth it. I think it was the same for HOTD. Games with more advanced graphics like that seem to not mesh well on a Pi, but would probably run nicely on a PC setup, etc.

                  @mrmartin79 Yes, Mad Dog works well via Dosbox.

                    @bgallagherla I tried HOTD and Virtua Cop but there were no 3D graphics even on my PC. I think these roms don't work because of dumps and 3D libraries (no OpenGL support).

                      @bgallagherla said in Mayflash dolphinbar and AdvanceMAME 1.4:

                      @mrmartin79 First thing, it should be mode 1 on DolphinBar. Second, you also have to pair the Wiimote to the on-board Bluetooth in your Pi, if you have a Pi 3. If you have a Pi 2 (like I do), you need a Bluetooth dongle.

                      I use the mode 2 and didn't pair my Wiimote with the raspberry on-board Bluetooth... Only with the Dolphin bar...

                          I was able to get Area51 working without a problem. Just had to add the CHD file to the "images" directory. Or look at the advmame.rc file for images path. Then I put the rom in the roms folder.

                          I have also switched my DolphinBar to Mode 1. It still seems to work alright but I am struggling with the config. When I hit Tab and change Controller Config for All Games it works until I exit. But settings don't stick. From reading I believe the advmame-1.4.rc file should be changed but it does not. I have even reset permissions to 777.

                          Would someone with a working setup be able to post their .rc file so I can compare what I'm working on?

                            Yes, I saw signs that this worked as well.... As I understood the DolphinBar it handles the controller pairing. I will unpair and experiment with this more.

                              UPDATES:
                              I was able to get Area51 working without a problem. Just added the CHD file to the "image" directory. For me this was /home/pi/.advance/image but just look at the advmame-1.4.rc file for dir_image parameter.

                              I have also switched my DolphinBar to Mode 1. It still seems to work alright but I am struggling with the config. When I hit Tab and change Controller Config for All Games it works until I exit. But settings don't stick. From reading I believe the advmame-1.4.rc file should be changed but it does not. I have even reset permissions to 777 but it doesn't seem to help... so I have added my settings to the .rc file.

                              Currently I have the following setup:
                              Trigger = fire
                              A btn = 2ndary fire ala Op Wolf
                              1 button = p1 coin in
                              2 button = p1 start
                              Home button = exit advmame back to emulationstation

                              Here are a few addl. items I'm working on:

                              • Lethal Enforcers 2 - can't reload
                              • How to fix lag when pulling trigger/firing.. this really sucks for T2 or Op Wolf where there is machine gun action?

                              Cheers!

                                @mrmartin79 Interesting. I must have put the CHD in the wrong folder then. Will investigate later tonight.

                                Also, I just noticed this last night - the "all games" config doesn't work. But if you go into "This game," they do stick. Yeah, you gotta go in and map stuff for every game, but you only have to do it once. Why the "all games" thing doesn't work is beyond me, but thats the way it is I guess. I have a similar button setup but didn't think about mapping the home button to exit. Will have to do that as well.

                                As for Lethal Enforcers 2... i have the same problem, and don't know why. With the first Lethal Enforcers, I can reload, but only if I'm aiming at the bottom off screen not on sides or top. Could be because my DolphinBar is on the bottom of my TV instead of top.

                                As for this .rc file, can you give me the path where I can find/edit this thing on mine? I still don't know a whole lot about tweaking settings/files through Putty/SSH and other methods. Thanks!

                                  @bgallagherla Sure thing... the config file is at

                                  /opt/retropie/configs/mame-advmame

                                  Also, you should make a backup of it before you start editing. so duplicate it to bak_advmame-1.4.rc etc...

                                  If something is wrong in this file advmame will throw an error and not start. (errors from this file can be found in the /dev/shm/runcommand.log file it took me a few tries to figure out keyboard/button usage.)

                                    @bgallagherla For the CHD, I dropped the unzipped folder named "area51mx" into the image directory. Inside that folder is the "area51mx.chd" file.

                                    Hope that helps... Works pretty well although the mouse/trigger lag still annoys me.

                                      @mrmartin79 said in Mayflash dolphinbar and AdvanceMAME 1.4:

                                      dir_image /home/pi/.advance/image:/opt/retropie/emulators/advmame/1.4/share/advance/image:/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/mame-advmame/chd

                                      OK, so this is your dir_image path above, take from the .rc file you shared in previous post. Here's the entry from mine:

                                      dir_image /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/mame-advmame

                                      It looks like you're redirecting this file to two different places (opt/retropie/emulators/advmame/1.4/share/advance/image - and /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/mame-advmame/chd) or am I totally off base?

                                      I tried putting the unzipped folder with CHD file in /home/pi/.advance/image but it didn't work. Will keep tweaking, just kinda confused...

                                        @bgallagherla yeah sorry for that... the files should work in either of those locs... I created a new chd directory as seen by the last path. That is where is put my areamx folder > chd file but it should work in any of those paths. The : is an OR.

                                        What error message do you get from the /dev/shm/runcommand.log?

                                          @mrmartin79 Something about how it was an "invalid" CHD file. I dunno. I tried putting it damn near everywhere. I'll see if i can find a different CHD file. Maybe mine was corrupt or something.

                                            @bgallagherla Get the .106 from the internet archive that's what I'm using.

                                            Another update after more testing. I switched the dolphinbar to Mode 2 and the trigger lag went away.. so this is definitely the mode to use! I also unpaired my wiimote from the RetroArch Bluetooth settings. This didn't resolve anything but I'm pretty sure there is no reason to pair it... Emulation Station seems to see it as a keyboard regardless. I can navigate most menus using the wiimote but can't select things... Need to hunt for settings there...

                                            As mentioned elsewhere, in Mode 2 you lose access to the 1 & 2 buttons but it seems to work with + = coin, HOME = start, and - = exit. At least thats the way its working for me at the moment.. I have made some changes to the .rc file to reflect using Mode 2.

                                            At the moment Op Wolf, Term2, and Lethal Enforcers work quite well and are very playable.
