@dtyler3 What is your version of retropie? Are any other modifications made to it? We need a little more info to help you, and a verbrose log would be very useful too.

@g30ff the drive is just a script that boots a service, but yep tried that ... and also working with Sinden too .. but since this was such a needle, was hoping there was some known mouse issues lingering that could help me pinpoint a resultion

THANKS !!!

@mitu
Will browse a lil bit through the code maybe i can read it out.
Thank you very much for your help :D

@barbudreadmon

Hi barbudreadmon

Also thank you to you for explaining that Virtual Cop for Dreamcast needs a more beefy system

Really appreciate it

Submitted a PR: https://github.com/libretro/RetroArch/pull/11388 .

Should address https://github.com/libretro/flycast/issues/562 and related issues in the X11 version of RetroArch for multiple lightguns.

Closing this now.

toccata10 created this issue in libretro/flycast open multi-mouse broken #562 pjft created this issue in libretro/RetroArch open Change udev driver for dual lightgun support in X11 #11388

Im #7000 something.. Backed it as late as Oct 2020. Will be awesome when they finally arrive, whenever that may be. In the meantime Im hunting a ps5 for retail-price...
No hard feelings against the Sinden guy, he seems like a very decent person.

@trapexit

Your the Author of the 3DO Emulation for the Pi , well I have to tip my hat to you , o love 3DO and it's a dream to be able to play it running very well on another console ... main reason why I upgraded to a Pi 4

It's ok if you have no idea about the reload situation , whenever you have the extra time , maby a solution will come to mind one day soon ;)

I appreciate your work and really enjoy this Emulation

@arcadez2003

Thank you for informing me

Really appreciate that

I will try it on Mame2003 plus

@Krakatoa If you are interested, I got other systems working too

PS1 games:

SSH into \home\RetroPie-Setup\scriptmodules\libretrocores\

Find lr-pcsx-rearmed.sh

Open it with Notepad ++

Change the section to be like this:
function sources_lr-pcsx-rearmed() {gitPullOrClone "$md_build" github.com/SindenLightgun/pcsx_rearmed.git}

Now go into EmulationStation, or SSH into your box (sudo /home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/retropie_setup.sh)
Go into Options>RPSETUP
Manage packages>Manage main packages>lr-pcsx-rearmed>Remove
Then do an update from source.
Now when you launch PS1 games, go into Quick Menu, then in Options select Pad 1 Type = guncon

When that has finished then you load lr-pcsx-rearmed as your emulator as usual. Then on the menu under options you can change Pad 1 Type to "guncon".

Tested on Elemental Gearbolt, Time Crisis I and II and it works well. However, some games are not working, Die Hard/Die Hard 2, Lethal Enforcers I and II.

For NES,
got into Retroarch Quick Menu
Change Port 1 binds device type to "Zapper"
Map Wiimote buttons same as on Dreamcast example
In Quick Menu, enable "lightgun settings"
then go to Options and change Zapper Mode to "Touchscreen"
save configs and restart

For SNES, similar to NES, but when launching a game, when the splashscreen for NES comes up, press the button on your controller to bring up the launch menu
Change the emulator for the rom to "lr-SNES9x"
When Retroarch loads, go to main menu inputs
Go to Port 2 Binds
Select SuperScope
Map trigger, alt fire like before
In Quick Menu, check lightgun mode "touchscreen"

Master System, same as NES
Port 1 - MS Light Phasrer
In Quick menu turn on show cross hair
touchscreen mode
save game mappings

Megadrive/Genesis:
Set port 2 binds to "MD Menacer"
Same settings elsewhere (i.e. touchscreen)

Still not bad progress!

@FRAQATTAQ said in Light gun does not work for most games:

Guide used: Wagner tech talk

Could you provide a link to the guide, please?

Emulator: emulation station / retropie / mame

Emulation Station and Retropie are not emulators, and Retropie supports a number of different MAME versions. See here for a list. Which one did you try?

The default MAME of the official Retropie image is lr-mame2003 which uses the romset of MAME 0.78. You can see the emulator used (and change it) in the Runcommand Launch Menu.

You'll need the right romset for your MAME version, other romset will probably fail or cause problems. See lArcade and Validating, Rebuilding, and Filtering ROM Collections for more information about that.

Okay, thanks.

I'll wait until the official version of Retropie for the Pi4 is released before I look into more lightgun games. They're less than 5% of my games anyway.

Worth it not to have to worry about a sensor bar. I'm getting them for my arcade, but would also like to use them for my computer. Moving the sensor bar around could cause problems with the wire.

@mitu

Thank you very much for the Link , Very Helpful and Up to date

So a simply answer is It doesn't work Properly at the moment

we're waiting on an update on fixes

@BGallagherLA said in Still no light gun support for SMS??:

Also randomly, do you have any idea when Retropie support for Pi 4 will be ready?

There's no deadline and support is on-going, so .. 'when it's ready'.

Thank you @mitu

That worked, I needed to throw in a --disable-x11 too:

CFLAGS="-O2 -march=armv8-a+crc -mtune=cortex-a72 -mfpu=neon-fp-armv8 -mfloat-abi=hard -ftree-vectorize -funsafe-math-optimizations" ./configure --prefix=/opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch --disable-sdl --enable-sdl2 --disable-oss --disable-al --disable-jack --disable-qt --disable-pulse --enable-opengles --disable-videocore --disable-vulkan --disable-wayland --enable-kms --enable-egl --enable-floathard --enable-neon --disable-x11

I may have got rid of the --prefix bit, I can't quite remember now.

Appreciate the help.

Mr Lightgun
