CAN ANYONE CONFIRM WORKING WITH 2 LIGHTGUNS?

[PiperCalls]

First off, thanks for this great emulator...it is much appreciated!

Can anyone confirm they have it working with 2 actual lightguns? I have 2 Sindens and can't get it to work. I've read every post I can find, watched every tutorial I can find, but no luck.

So I started with a clean install from the DL page. I am using Supermodel_0.3a-svn-843_Win64.zip and using lostwsga.zip as my test ROM. Attached is my INI file. I've literally only changed the Start, Coin, Test and Service buttons and in the Gun inputs I've used MOUSE7 (gun1) and MOUSE8 (gun2). These are my Raw Input IDs as confirmed working in MAME. I've also tried MOUSE1 through MOUSE9 just to make sure...same results on all of them.

I'm launching via command line with..

supermodel e:\launchbox\games\supermodel\lostwsga.zip -fullscreen -res=3840,2160 -stretch -input-system=rawinput

I've calibrated gun1 via the Test menu, it is spot on. What is happening is gun2 also moves the gun1 cursor and nothing moves the gun2 cursor. Unless I'm just missing something simple it appears that the -input-system=rawinput is not working correctly.

Any help is appreciated, this emu is just too good to not have both guns working!!

Thanks...Piper

Note: I'm not using SVN-845 because it will only move the cursor along the X Axis, I get no Y-Axis movement no matter what MOUSE ID I use. Also, I can't upload a file so here is my INI...

;
; Quick Overview
; --------------
;
; All settings are case sensitive. Numbers must be integers. Check your
; spelling carefully because invalid settings are silently ignored. To verify
; that your settings are being parsed correctly, check the contents of
; error.log.
;
; Global options apply to all games. To create configuration profiles for
; individual games, place settings under sections with the same name as the
; corresponding MAME ROM set, like so:
;
; ; Scud Race
; [ scud ]
;
; SoundVolume = 50
; MusicVolume = 200
; ; ... etc. ...
;
; Input mappings are an exceptional case: they are only allowed in the global
; section. Per-game input mappings are not supported.
;
; For a list of all valid settings, please consult README.txt. Only default
; inputs are assigned here.

Have you checked the error.log file in the emulator folder after starting a game? It may show if it's actually reading the "raw inputs" command line option.

[retroralph2020]

I have the exact same issue here
I have virtually same INI file
I reviewed the error log and it shows rawinput

any recommendations to solve the issue?

[pelicansurf]

I'm having this exact same issue with aimtrak light guns. Does anyone have any suggestions? I really want to play Lost World with my girlfriend.

The second gun is basically moving/taking over the first gun.

Here is the config:

; Light guns (Lost World)
InputGunLeft = "NONE" ; digital, move gun left
InputGunRight = "NONE" ; digital, move gun right
InputGunUp = "NONE" ; digital, move gun up
InputGunDown = "NONE" ; digital, move gun down
InputGunX = "MOUSE3_XAXIS" ; analog, full X axis
InputGunY = "MOUSE3_YAXIS" ; analog, full Y axis
InputTrigger = "MOUSE3_LEFT_BUTTON"
InputOffscreen = "MOUSE3_RIGHT_BUTTON" ; point off-screen
InputAutoTrigger = 1 ; automatic reload when off-screen
InputGunLeft2 = "NONE"
InputGunRight2 = "NONE"
InputGunUp2 = "NONE"
InputGunDown2 = "NONE"
InputGunX2 = "MOUSE4_XAXIS"
InputGunY2 = "MOUSE4_YAXIS"
InputTrigger2 = "MOUSE4_LEFT_BUTTON"
InputOffscreen2 = "MOUSE4_RIGHT_BUTTON"
InputAutoTrigger2 = 1

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I guess one question is whether they are mapped to MOUSE3 and MOUSE4 as in your config? The best way to figure out the mapping is to run:

Code: Select all

supermodel -config-inputs -input-system=rawinput


And then configure the guns that way and see what values are used.

I use two dolphinbar with 2 wiimote for LightGun games. For windows my wiimote are mouse. I use rawinput in supermodel and all works perfect

[pelicansurf]

I ended up doing the following to fix my issues:

Here is what I did:
I popped open the aimtrak tool and confirmed that Lightgun1 was Mouse 3 and Lightgun2 was Mouse 4

Knowing this I went to the Supermodel.ini, opened it with a text editor and modified these values (I did it manually because setting an axis moving an Aimtrak gun on screen may prove it challenging...):

InputGunLeft = "MOUSE3_XAXIS_INV"
InputGunRight = "MOUSE3_XAXIS"
InputGunUp = "MOUSE3_YAXIS"
InputGunDown = "MOUSE3_YAXIS_INV"
InputGunX = "MOUSE3_XAXIS"
InputGunY = "MOUSE3_YAXIS"
InputTrigger = "MOUSE3_LEFT_BUTTON"
InputOffscreen = "MOUSE3_RIGHT_BUTTON"

and

InputGunLeft2 = "MOUSE4_XAXIS_INV"
InputGunRight2 = "MOUSE4_XAXIS"
InputGunUp2 = "MOUSE4_YAXIS"
InputGunDown2 = "MOUSE4_YAXIS_INV"
InputGunX2 = "MOUSE4_XAXIS"
InputGunY2 = "MOUSE4_YAXIS"
InputTrigger2 = "MOUSE4_LEFT_BUTTON"
InputOffscreen2 = "MOUSE4_RIGHT_BUTTON"

I saved and opened "Games.xml" file with notepad, I found settings for the rom I needed ("lostwsga") and modified the code as follows:

<inputs>
<input type="rawinput" />
<input type="gun1" />
<input type="gun2" />
<input type="common" />
</inputs>

I saved games.xml and then ran "supermodel .\roms\lostwsga.zip -res=1920,1080 -stretch -vsync -crosshairs=3 -input-system=rawinput"

Worked like a charm. Hope that helps someone else!

Note that "rawinput" is not a valid input type. Inputs in the Games.xml are not config options, rather they describe what sort of physical controls the arcade has. Games.xml isn't intended to be a config file -- it is intended to describe to Supermodel how ROMs should be loaded and what hardware should be emulated for each game. What you probably want to do is the following:

1. Remove that <input type="rawinput" /> line because it is useless.
2. Create a special Lost World section in Supermodel.ini and add InputSystem=rawinput there:

Code: Select all

[lostwsga]
InputSystem = rawinput


You can also put the various InputGun*, InputTrigger*, and InputOffscreen* settings in that sub-section as well since they only apply to Lost World. That way, you can launch Supermodel without needing to specify rawinput on the command line. It will be picked up from the config file.

Hi, I'm new here. I've got a pair of Sinden guns, and I'm wondering what's the most straightforward way of determining what mouse ID they are assigned to in windows 10?
