[Rpi3] Nes - Duck Hunt with mouse

mediamogul

If there was ever anything in need of a guide, it's light gun support for the various cores. My Dolphinbar is on loan to a friend, but after RetroArch 1.7.1 is made available, I'll have to get it back and do some testing as well.

@chuck_b can you show me or tell me exactly how to get where you change it to zapper? I cant find that option anywhere.

mediamogul

@edmaul69

It should be under 'Controls' in the system quick menu that RetroArch brings up by default. Apparently the Zapper options are only available in lr-fceumm though.

edmaul69

@mediamogul player 2 always starts as unknown but i get the options of none, retropad and retropad w/analog. No zapper option

Chuck_B

@edmaul69 are you using lr-fceumm or lr-nestopia?

Chuck_B

lr-retropad and retropad w/analog are typical of nestopia.
lr-fceumm should have gamepad, auto and zipper options

edmaul69

@chuck_b i got it. Apparently i had to update lr-fceumm

Chuck_B

@edmaul69 so problem solved?

edmaul69

@chuck_b yup. Thanks.

@mediamogul the vs lightgun games work in lr-fceumm perfect. Better than lr-nestopia

@edmaul69

Very good to know. Looks like it'll be the go-to core for any Zapper title.

@mediamogul also on my 15” tv thats my “apple iie monitor” which is the only thing i have tested this on, in nestopia with a working mouse left and right doesnt work. With the dolphinbar, the crosshair is way to the right of my actual wiimote and moves a thousand miles an hour. With fceumm my wiimote is perfectly on target and moves at the right speed. Im happy with how it works.

But sadly in the vs duck hunt shooting the dog the gun didnt even shoot at all.

@edmaul69

So you're saying light gun support doesn't work at all in that title?

edmaul69

@mediamogul no. Lightgun works great. You just cant shoot the dog.

edmaul69

@mediamogul maybe i am confused. In a video i watched it showed the dog jumping around. I never saw that. I assumed you could shoot him when he was laughing at you.

mediamogul

@edmaul69

Did you make it to the bonus rounds? They're unique to the Vs. version. The dog leaps out of the grass along with the ducks. Shooting him is a factor that'll end the round, but it's still somewhat satisfying to see him hobble out afterwards after all the times he's laughed at you in the home version.

Edit: I believe he can also be shot in 'Barker Bill's Trick Shooting', but I don't remember the circumstances.

edmaul69

@mediamogul just missed my last post. Yeah i didnt know about that. Good to know. So yes it works fine then

mediamogul

@edmaul69

Man, all this talk of the improved Zapper support has me cheesed that I don't have my Dolphinbar.

edmaul69

@mediamogul suck be you. 😁 Im super excited that i can finally play duck hunt and good. Now i need to find if i can disable the crosshair to test it without it.

@edmaul69

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....
