Wii remote for use a gun
-
@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

@BGallagherLA thanks for that. In the emulation station it detects the movement of the remote. But no buttons. When I go to conigure controllers it can't find the Wii remote. I guess I need to sort this out if I'm going to try playing these games and in general.
I've been told to try and pair the remote in the controller setup. It can see the remote as a Bluetooth device but will not connect. Have you had this issue at all?
Thanks again for your help and advice. -
@masterful You have to pair the Wiimote to the Pi's on board BlueTooth in the RetroPie menu you can see on EmulationStation. You should see a BlueTooth menu and in there you can pair the Wii mote to the BlueTooth. The trigger should work right away without mapping or anything, not sure why it isn't. Might wanna try uninstalling and reinstalling AdvMame 1.4 from experimental packages. These gun games only work with the latest update to AdvMame 1.4 which was released last year and added light gun support.
You can't configure the controllers like you can in the main menu, you have to do it through the advmame menu in a game, which you bring up by hitting Tab on keyboard while you're in a game. But first, make sure you have the Wiimote paired through Bluetooth. Let me know if you have any other issues.
