I just downloaded the win32 version of mame since I heard that it
worked correctly.

I found that I can now use the 2nd gun "BUT" I have to calibrate it so
it does not see the entire screen then shoot near the bottom right
corner to reload.

With the 1st player gun I can point at the floor or anywhere away from
the screen and it reloads just fine. It's pretty annoying that the 2nd
player Has to point at the corner of the screen. Is this something that
can be fixed? With the troubleshooter I can reload with the 2nd gun
just fine...

Thanks,
Jeremy Skeels

Maybe I am doing something wrong...

Using the current command line version of MAME

1. I Enabled Offscreen Reload.
2. I Emabled Dual Gun Support
3. I Start a game, Area 51, Maximum Force, Ect...
4. I Map the Games Button 1 for each player to Each Guns Trigger.
5. I Calibrate each gun.

I then start the game and I can shoot with both but if I aim the 2nd
gun away from the screen it doesn't reload it just fires a bullet.
Gun 1 workes fine..

Can you post a copy of your Mame.ini file and your game.ini file so I
can see where my glitch lies...

Thanks,
Jeremy

Hmmm.. Just tested this for myself with Area 51/Max Force.  Off-screen reload seems to work fine for both players.  Tested using Mame32 0.96.
 
Jeremy, you said the off-screen reload wasn't working for gun #2.  Can you be more specific?

Awesome, I just got back from a trip and had the chance to try it
out. It works great!

I also downloaded the new version of mame as well, dual lightguns
work now but offscreen reload for gun #2 doesn't making it pretty
much usless still... Guess I can't have it all :-(

LOL, Thanks for the update to HOTD3!

Awesome, I just got back from a trip and had the chance to try it
out. It works great!

I also downloaded the new version of mame as well, dual lightguns
work now but offscreen reload for gun #2 doesn't making it pretty
much usless still... Guess I can't have it all :-(

LOL, Thanks for the update to HOTD3!

If you have the HD space just make a virutual drive.  Then you never need to try and find a crack.  Your computer will think that it has a bunch of CD drives tho.  That is what I use.

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.

MAME and Dual TV Lightguns.
 
Well, I finally gave in and downloaded the latest MAME source code, and set up a build environment, etc... 
I have good news, and better news.
 
The good news is that MAME has not dropped support for dual lightguns.  It's just a bug in the more recent code that causes MAME to ignore the second gun in Windows XP (I think it might still work in Windows 98).  But aside from that one bug, the rest of the code required to handle dual guns is all still there.
 
The better news is that I've fixed the bug and submitted my fix to the MAME team.  I don't know if they'll accept my fix, or when it will be merged into the core.  But it's on its way.  If all goes well, the dual TV lightguns will work again in future releases.
 
I'll keep you posted.
 
Jon

It seems mame has simply dropped support for the act labs TV guns. Is
it even possible to make thetroubleshooter support mame, at least so us
TV gun users didn't waste our money buying two guns??

I paid almost $300.00 for my pair (Yeah, I know act labs is making them
again) on ebay and only one works with any remotly recient version of
mame.

I know you would be the savior to tons of mame cabinet owners that got
suckered in to buying 2 tv guns..

Thanks in advance,
Jeremy

Version 2.3.1 of The Troubleshooter is up on the site.  http://thetroubleshooter.home.mindspring.com.
 
Fixes the problem with House of the Dead 3 and TV USB Guns, where the Player 2 trigger was pausing the game instead of shooting.
 
Enjoy!

Yeah, two TV Light guns running on Win XP.
 
No rush - I appreciate your effort and time.

Sorry for the delay.  My computer was out of service for a few days.  But I finally figured out what the problem is.  I'm guessing you have two TV guns, correct?  It seems that Sega decided to map Mouse Button 3 (which the TV Light Gun reports for the trigger when set for Player 2) as a Start button.
 
It might take a bit of effort on my part to get this worked out.  Sorry!  I'll try to have an update soon.

Jon,

Still having same problem - I checked the key assignments and they
are set to default; but still pauses game when player 2 fires. Player
2 reload works fine.

Sorry to keep bugging you, but any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Sounds like the key assignments are different.  The Troubleshooter assumes the following keys:
 
Player 1 Trigger=X
Player 1 Reload=Z
Player 1 Start=Q
Player 2 Trigger=N
Player 2 Reload=B
Player 2 Start=T

Jon,

Installed new troubleshooter and am having a problem.

Player 1 works fine, but player 2 when you pull the trigger instead
of shooting, it pauses the game. Do I need to change the keyboard
mapping for the game or am I missing something?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks for all your hardwork.

PS. tried it with HOTD2 (Xplosiv) and still works great.

Thanks

Tom
