has any one had any experience with them as light guns? i got 1 to work but if i have 2 it erases my control configs for that game
any info would be appreciated.
im using touchmote , tried glovepi and another one name escapes me atm.
no matter what i do i cant get my pc to recognize 2 motes at once.
i can play games with 2 motes but i have to redo the configurations every time i use them but if i use only 1 its fine and seen by mame as joy9 but if i use 2 its 10 and 11 and i have to redo the controller config
can they be permanently paired ??

Nice. I also want to make the same Setup like you.
My recherche:

scroll down a little bit on that page or read pdf:
Look at point 1.2:

There is a MAME config file for controls. This example is for AimTrak from Ultimark and i hope that the WiiMotes can also be setup like this.

ok so this does not seem to work with wii motes. somthing about windows only sees 1 at a time cuz they all carry the same numbers.. supposedly glovepie is good but i cant seem to get that working either ...
this is getting in to an area im no good at.... im more on the a+ side rather then the c++ side... lol
hoping some one will figure this out ...
sorry i cant help more.

but if i run into something i will gladly post on here!!

It's been a long time since I played with the Dolphin Bar setup but this might help https://hyperspin-fe.com/forums/topic/6083-wii-remote-as-light-gun-mayflash-dolphin-bar-is-great/?page=2&tab=comments#comment-196163 (https://hyperspin-fe.com/forums/topic/6083-wii-remote-as-light-gun-mayflash-dolphin-bar-is-great/?page=2&tab=comments#comment-196163).

cool. thanks for the link. so i have 1 question ... where is the dual light gun option i only see lightgun not dual light gun. or do i have to manually put this in the ini ?
-
Here's part of my mame.ini. I don't know if the option is in the MAME GUI.

# INPUT DEVICE OPTIONS

global_inputs 0
dual_lightgun 1

awsome right on thanks. when the WIFE allows me to get the dolphin bar ill be trying this. lol thanks alot!
wonder if this will work for touchmote. ill toy with that as well.
-
Just my 2 cents... I used Dolphin Bar very little. I wanted it for arcade gun games but it didn't work well being close on a smaller screen. It does work great for Wii games and OK for arcade games if you want to stand back 5+ feet which isn't practical for a cabinet but fine if you're using a large TV.
If you think about it, this device is really made to emulate Wii on a large TV, which it does well for $20.
If you want to shoot guns at a screen smaller than 30" plan to stand back too far from the cabinet to see the details of the games.
-
good 2 cents... i am using a 42 inch plasma and i see how a little screen wouldnt work well...
actually im finding it way mor impractical actually....
but hay ya live ya learn!! lmao!!
-
Yes, it all make sense. For $20 it was worth a try for my cabinet. AimTrack is probably the best solution for me but I don't love the gun games enough to spend $200+ for two AimTrack guns. On a big TV the wireless gun aspect of the Dolphin Bar vs. wired AimTrack guns is another huge advantage in addition to the cost.
