Missing gun games

[MiTKiNG]

Hi everyone,

recently i have mounted a topgun lcd in my cab and im trying to run the best gun games. Could you give me advice?

Im running these games:

* Nebula Model 2:
- House of the dead 1
- Virtua cop 1
- Virtua cop 2
* Demul:
- House of the dead 2
- Confidential mission
* Mame:
- Lethal enforces
- Lethal enforces 2
- Point blank
- Area 51
- Operation wolf
- Alien 3: the gun
- And many other old gun games

Im missing some great gun games, could you tell me how to run them? List of missing and wanted games:

- House of the dead 3
- House of the dead 4
- Time crisis 1 (not working in mame for me)
- Time crisis 2, 3 and 4
- Aliens extermination
- Virtua cop 3 (i have seen chd for mame, does it work?)
- Lost world (probably in next version of demul or supermodel)

Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

-a real version of The House of the Dead 3 was released on the PC
-try to get another .chd for Time Crisis, it runs in mame
-good theme for Jurassic Park was released here a few weeks ago, runs in mame
-Mad Dog McCree 1 & 2 are floating around (cheesy but still fun)

that's all I have off the top of my head for now

you have all the american laser games ( there is also themes for all the games on the FTP in the upload section )

how do you run time crisis 2-3-4 and house of dead 4 ?

Ok, i have tried time crisis in mame and is very slow. Although Incresing frameskip (F9) it can be playable.

Also i found hotd3 pc version and runs well. But it has to run trouhg launcher in which you must select play option. Could you start the game from hyperspin directly at full screen without selecting "play" option in the launcher menu?

And other question about hodt3, arent there an arcade mode in the game? i only can see survival and time trial... wtf?

I dont like the rest of games you are sugesting, but thanks, appreciated!

Survival Mode plays just like Arcade mode
here is the script to get past the launcher menu, just make it into an .AHK
it essentially rewrites a registry file in the settings to auto launch and lets you exit with the esc button.



RegWrite, REG_DWORD, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, SOFTWARE\SEGA\hod3\Settings, Played, 1

return
Sorry you couldn't get Time Crisis to run in mame, I have it running perfectly. though there is a glitch at the end that doesn't allow you shoot the helicopter. no one really has the patience to get to the end anyways on my makeshift cabinet (real one in the process of being built) so I don't mind.

Wow i cant wait to try your ahk configuration. That´s what i need. I have two more questions about hotd3:

1. Can you disable the autoreload feature? I prefer to reload myself shooting out screen like in hotd1 and 2.

2. I you have 2 ligthguns can you play 2 players coop?

If you let me do it, i want to ask you about some issue i have playing model 2 gun games. Sometimes, when i shoot at the top of the screen the game closes or minimize and i see a black screen... I dont know why is that happening. Have you ever had this problem?

Thanks for your help, hotd3 is a great gun game for me!

Unfortunately the auto reload was implemented into the xbox version, and was ported straight over to the PC. The Wii version of HOD3 was changed back to having to shoot off screen. you can always reload yourself with the B button/Right click of mouse.

yes two players can play coop. just hit the number 2 on the keyboard just like in any mame game to start player 2. it automatically gives you 4 credits, so there is no coin button. you are going to need to setup player 2's gun like a gamepad or keyboard since the game only allows one mouse/light gun setup. but it can be done.

again, Unfortunately with the M2 emulator, it still has some bugs to be worked out. in the EMULATOR.ini if you change the "UseRawInput=0" to "UseRawInput=1" you will be able to shot off screen without it minimizing then crashing. BUT!! Player 2 will be no more, it will no work. so if you would like two players in an M2 light gun game use a button to reload instead of shooting off screen. I haven't fiddled around with v1.0 to a lengthy extent so maybe it has been fixed or there is a work around. I don't think there is though.

hope this helps

Hello, just to thks about your script :)

and another M2 question: Have you succesfully played it with 2 guns ??

Rawinput on off gives me just 1 corsshair for 2 light guns :s

(Ems driver with guncon2).

perhaps first revision of the m2 emu will work ? :)
