American Laser Games (Mad Dog McCree and others) - Page 17

It looks like this game has switched guns. Use second player lightgun events (Dual Lightpen Horizontal #2 and Dual Lightpen Vertical #2)

Yay! That fixed it!

Thanks a lot for all your help

Perhaps single player only games should be forced to use first light gun? It would make this less confusing..

For some reason single player games still do read both guns normally, I guess lightgun reading is done by some kind of common "OS" part of the game.

Is it still possible to try these games? I've noted that they no longer appear to be listed in the zone?

Just discovered this thread and it was a big surprise to learn that UAE is able to emulate some LD games

Thanks Toni and others for this amazing thread

carbide1101 · 24 December 2018, 15:42

I'd really like to try these but the links for the video files are down. Would somebody be able to re-up the files?

Yup, thought I'd give these a try now but all they no longer exist:

... Gallagher's Gallery
... Platoon (unsupported?)
... Mad Dog McCree (Seems to be good, frames may not be 100% aligned)
... Mad Dog McCree 2: The Lost Gold (Italian)

Can someone help out?

I had the bright idea of putting together a pack of what I had, preconfigured to boot WinUAE via batch files (all you'd need to provide is your own kickstart rom), however I can't get the gun calibration to work anymore on Gallagher's Gallery

Not exactly sure why - but I did notice that when holding down shoot, the screen would flash repeatedly instead of just once (as though I was repeatedly firing), so I wondered if that had something to do with it. My memory could be completely wrong, but I didn't think it used to do that on the older WinUAE beta that we originally had this running on.

I went looking for an older version to compare against, but I keep getting a database error. http://www.winuae.net/download-old-versions/

Seems that the WinUAE is down

I'll PM / e-mail RCK so that he can look into this.

Belgarath · 24 February 2020, 09:49

HOL is also down, same database problem.

DamienD · 24 February 2020, 13:40

WinUAE and HOL are now back up

DDNI · 24 February 2020, 17:09

BUMP...

it would be great to see these added to the pack.

Pack includes Gallagher's Gallery, Mad Dog McCree 1, Mad Dog McCree 2 Italian. I couldn't find my copy of the Platoon video, but in any case I could never get that one to work.

Just put your 1.3 ROM in the WinUAE\roms folder, launch the relevant batch file, wait for the game to run, go through the gun calibration tutorial in the readme.txt, and it should all work. If it doesn't seem to register the mouse or keyboard, follow the instructions in the readme to fix bindings.

WinUAE version is 3.4.0, this seemed to be the last version that worked (more recent WinUAE versions didn't appear to register gunshots - though I could have made a mistake with configuring it. Any ideas, Toni?)

I may possibly upload a new pack if someone can provide better and/or additional videos.

DDNI · 25 February 2020, 09:40

Thanks earok, travelling with work till Thursday so will grab later this week.

Perfect, many thanks for this earok

Did you manage to get this working in the latest 4.3.0 version of WinUAE?

No worries

Most of it worked, just not the "gun trigger", so it didn't seem playable on WinUAE 3.5.0 upwards. When I attempt to fire on anything newer than 3.4.0, it didn't make any gun noise or seem to hit anything - though it make the screen 'flash'

Hmmm, that's a real shame.

I always use the latest verion of WinUAE (and in my collection), so if I can't get these games working on v4.3.0 then unfortunately it's a no go for me

ransom1122 · 25 February 2020, 13:39

I'm sure winuae had the option of ALG lightgun support in control TAB.

Retro1234 · 25 February 2020, 14:02

Is there a control Disk/ADF for these games? and the graphics on these disks what format is it in?
