i found the fix for the slowdowns, disable force vsync in cxbx video settings.

 

a few notable bugs i found

 

Vsync disabled , maintain aspect ratio off, exclusive fullscreen on, intel 14700K and rtx 4070 , not running as admin, bezel off.

 

hod3 

- aim is perfect

-Zombies seem to die in slow motion and some lags during transition scenes.

- trying english version causes a crash before the first cut scene

 

Vcop3

- some slow downs when sprites are shot

- in 4:3 ratio, aim is offset on the sides, this bug is also present in the old cxbx

- in fullscreen ratio aim is perfect except on the right, its offset . on the left its fine.

 

Ghost Squad

- in fullscreen 16:9 or 4:3 mode , aim is also offset on the right . 

 

overall huge step in emulating these systems. let me know if theres any other testing you guys want me to do! thanks hippo! And especially thanks argon for always helping fix bugs and add features so quickly.

 

You may already know, but you can calibrate aim in test menu for vcop3 and gs. I felt like opening a game would clear settings of other games,  but may have just been a one-time thing. I put each game in a separate folder just to be safe

Thanks for sharing, you know how we can assign these bezels per game using one instance of reshade?

I had an issue where if I set up vcop3 to Freeplay and other test menu items, then launch Ghost Squad, all my vcop3 changes, calibration, etc are lost. So, I ended up just making a copy of the emulator folder for each game (but kept the "roms" folder only in one). So, that also makes separate bezels easy since you have separate folders. If not for that issue, I'd probably swap the bezel on using ahk.

Here's some bezels I've made for the Chihiro gun games. https://pixeldrain.com/l/cWb8FvSH

Is there any way to change the GS language from Japan to USA (TP version have USA) ?

You can replace emudisk\chihiro with this one to change regions of the games. Backup original.

USA https://pixeldrain.com/u/UCKjxP5N 

EXPORT https://pixeldrain.com/u/LAd17VZt

Although I included entire folders, you should only need to replace ic10_g24lc64.bin

This should make all 3 games boot in that region.

One thing about US Ghost Squad is if Card "off" it lets you pick character/weapon/etc. this is cool, but you get a glitch where your character is missing a head. As a workaround, go into the ghost squad game settings and set Card to "on". Then, it will play without customization like JP version and your character will have a head.

You can launch in 2-player mode to make it a bit less crowded and bigger if you don't plan on playing with 4 players. 

Open Logs\Data.dat with notepad and change the 0 to 1 here:

<isTwoPlayer>1</isTwoPlayer>

Would love to play this with Dreamcast fishing rod. Wonder if it's possible 

I use one with raphnet dreamcast adapter for Sega bass fishing and Sega marine fishing. Did a quick test on this game and should be possible. The Dreamcast rod with raphnet can detect motion, but not the specific direction, so I'll use its analog stick for rod movement. So, to keep it analog, I'll probably use something like wheel2xinput to convert the dinput device to xinput. Will still need a separate program to convert the reel (seen as an axis) to repeated button taps. I tested an ahk script that pressed left alt every 400ms, 300ms, 200ms, and 100ms, for when I was reeling at 5-25, 26-50, 51-75, and 76-100 percent speed, respectively. Seemed like it should work ok, but will need to test more later

I'm guessing demulshooter will have an option, making this unnecessary, but here is a no-crosshair patch. There's 2 versions. Both get rid of crosshair. One version also gets rid of "do not shoot" icon that crosshair turns into when you are not able to shoot. The other version keeps this.

Goes in MissionImpossible\MissionImpossible_Data\

backup original or rename original so you can go back to it if TP or demulshooter add this feature

Im using GUN4IR. Demulshooter hooks and menu works fine for me, but when in game the reticule is stuck in the bottom left hand of the screen. Im using the following ahk script:

 

#SingleInstance Force

Run, E:\DemulShooter\DemulShooterX64.exe -target=windows -rom=bbhut

Run, "BBH.exe"

lbutton::
click
send, {enter down}
KeyWait, LButton
send, {enter up}
return

Escape::
    Process,Close,BBH.exe
    Run,taskkill /im "BBH.exe" /F
    Process,Close,DemulShooterX64.exe
    Run,taskkill /im "DemulShooterX64.exe" /F
sleep, 5000
       ExitApp
return

 

You can try setting Demulshooter 64 bit exe to run as admin and/or make sure bbh.exe is not set to run as admin. Maybe double check device IDs in DS GUI if that doesn't work.

Yes but it always takes at least 4 or 5 shots. Strange 

Seems to do with click duration to me, as a quick click works better. Having ahk send a click seems to fix and allow for consistent registering no matter how long you hold trigger with the following ahk:

Lbutton::
Click
Return

Seems to solve above issue, but when  skipping info screens, you have to hold mouse button, so that no longer works as it only sends a short click, no matter how long you hold.   I found the Enter key also activates the skipping feature. So, you can either bind a different gun button to Enter and use it for skipping, or have left button send click and hold enter button for duration of trigger press, using ahk below. Make sure to only run this with game, as if this script is running then you double click the game, it will open the game several times and you would not want this running when clicking around in windows OS

lbutton::
click
send, {enter down}
KeyWait, LButton
send, {enter up}
return

I did my testing with demulshooter running as admin, but game and script NOT running as admin 

Thanks to YouTube video comments by arronmunroe, I see Nicktoons Nitro will link in LAN if you send -net parameter to the exe. Mentioned on TP discord to see if the devs would be interested in adding an "network enable" checkbox in the GUI to add this. 

If anyone wants to try it now, you can edit the NicktoonNitro.xml in UserProfile folder and replace

<ExtraParameters />

with the following 

<ExtraParameters>-net</ExtraParameters>

Also set network IDs in TP game settings to 1 and 2. First boot with net enabled game locks up, but should work fine after that. Also, after a race finishes, player 1 needs to continue first, or else game freezes.

Here are some I made made to match the bezel I previously made from a pic of the actual cabinet. I used a pic of the actual doors I ripped from a youtube gameplay video, would love to get a better quality door pic at some point. They are for horizontal 1080, 4k, and 1440, although I did add a portrait 1200x1920 for @Zen_B7

No problem! - emuline seems to compress/reduce the size of image attachments, so here they are in a .zip that should prevent that....well, it won't let me attach it because the limit is 33kb?, so here's a link - https://www.mediafire.com/file/4ai3linmf2oxut5/SOZ_Bezels.zip/file

Got the game running thanks to this thread, am just wondering if anyone got this working with a sinden gun ?

I got the game to play and aim correctly on horizontal monitor with Sinden by running windowed mode as Argonlefou suggested. Then, I use an ahk to apply a bezel. I have added the method I used to the Sinden Wiki.

Used a picture of the real cabinet and made it into a bezel if anyone's interested.

Gun cursor moves slow when going far left or right edge, Using Arccabview for bezels and demulshooter with 2 gun4ir

I also noticed mouse and lightgun move slower when rotating with arccabview compared to playing 607x1080 windowed, causing my Sinden aim to be off. I only tested with the input exe, haven't tried demulshooter yet. I ended up just playing windowed 607x1080 and it works great.  I sent you a DM earlier today.

Another awesome mod, Thanks Argonlefoe! I'm running this with the latest ds on 2 player and my guns will only shoot bottom left corner of the screen. Anyone know how to fix this?

You could try setting windows scaling to 100 in Windows Display Settings if it's not already

yeah, it works great without any USB device. The problem is now that it no longer works as soon as I connect to Sinden. What now?

When you connected the Sinden, was the software running prior to launching game? I've had it freeze when I had the gun plugged it but Sinden software not running. Had to restart to fix.

Thanks! Now I just need to figure out how to do that.

 

 

Appreciate it. 

Never done this... Auto Hotkey?

 

Trying to figure it out.

To change it to the regular 1 on the top of the keyboard...

Install Autohotkey

Create a text document in notepad with

1::numpad1

Save it and rename. txt to .ahk

To get fancy, you could put the script in the same directory as the game.exe with

run, game.exe
1::numpad1
~Esc::
ExitApp

This would run the game, bind the button, and close script when you hit escape

I have the same problem, has a solution been found?

The biggest issue with Adrenaline Amusement games not loading seems to be a port conflict issue. Try unplugging all USB devices, then restart, and then try. If it works, re-plug each device until you find the culprit. Also, some people  have serial port software installed that causes conflicts. Check device manager under ports and make sure there are no com0com ports.

Yes spot on work Argonlefou as always. One question for you if you dont mind. Whilst playing tombraider with demulshooter, if I hold down left click on my mouse it auto fires but then if I click the right mouse button to reload I get a test/cheat menu screen appear whilst ingame, is this a known about issue. Many thanks

This is hardcoded into the game. If you hold mouse left for 5 seconds or so, then press mouse right. I believe it's only supposed to pop up when pressing mouse right while still holding mouse left. Are you holding the trigger while you reload?

Waiting for feedback on the start button bug, but hopefully this should be good 

Works perfectly, thanks!

Nothing can be done ATM, this will be removed in the next demulshooter update that should comme soon.

 

To everyone who have the issue to Press Start twice on title screen, does it only happen in fullscreen mode ? And works normally in windowed mode ?

 

Yeah, good call. Dont have the issue in windowed mode

If anyone is using a Sinden, I made these bezels a year or so ago when I got my guns and incorporated the white Sinden border

hotd-bezels.zip

Disabling the pause menu was an amazing touch. Incredible work. I have no idea if possible to implement, but the only difference I notice now between this and arcade is the on-screen "reload" indicator when out of bullets

Yeah, not a big deal at all. Once you press start once on the title screen, it behaves normally for the rest of the session. Even if you die and go back to the title screen, you only have to press it once. So, what I ended up doing was timing up ahk to send my p1 start button right when the title screen starts, and it works perfectly.

Tried the newest version and still having to press p1 start twice. Tried a clean install of the game on a different PC to rule out any hardware cause, and to make sure no interference with reshade, demulshooter, res-patched exe, etc, and it still occurs with a clean install of the "Reloaded" version on a different PC.
