As you probaly guessed from my previous posts I run all my lightgun
games on a dedicated mame cabinet. The problem with that is I have to
move a 300+ pound monster out if I want to access the CD rom inside.
My solution is to install all the games via a wireless network and
then get a no cd crack from gamecopyworld.com so I don't need the cd
in the drive to play.

This has worked flawlessly for me up untill now. If I use the cracked
exe file for HOTD3 troubleshooter does not work. It works fine with
the original however if I have the CD in the drive.

Would it be hard to add support for the no cd version of this game?

Also one more suggestion, for dedicated cabinet gamers like myself.
Would it be hard to include a function to remap the games buttons to
ones that are available on the cabinet so I don't have to pull out
the keyboard to start the game or navigate the menues. Another great
feature would be the ability to set an exit game key (Excape) so no
matter what game you are playing you can exit out instantly with one
button.

Currently I use command line wrappers from
http://www.oscarcontrols.com/lazarus/ they let me terminate whatever
program I launch with them with the excape key. I like to completly
avoid a keyboard & mouse if possible on my cabinet.

I think you could open up a whole new audience for the troubleshooter
by integrating some of the above features.

Currently I run MameWah as the menu program for my mame cabinet. It
allows you to set up different emulators or programs that can be
launched using the joysticks & buttons that are on your cabinet. When
the game/program exits it goes right back to the menu. It also hides
windows completly so it really looks like you are playing on an
arcade game not just a computer running an emulator.
