I have a slight issue with the crosshair though; even though it's calibrated perfectly. It was the same in the old video too though. Basically if you move to the far right hand side and shoot, the shot is about 3mm out. I'll post a screenshot shortly. |

Yes, I noticed that too, I don't know if it's the actual Nova code, since the targeting seems pretty loose. I didn't touch the resolution of the video, so I'm presuming it's meant to be like this.
If you look the markers aren't quite over the equivalent on the map, so I don't know if they're meant to be, in which case the actual borders of the video are wrong, and I wouldn't know what they should be. I worked based on the opening text which looked OK. |

Hi Damien - thanks for the reply - managed to get Platoon working (a bit) using the beta WinUAE. Seems to crash after shooting the 2nd VC (man their death acting is baaaad) just freezes as you are about to enter the door.
Not sure if just mine - but long pauses after the drill instructor appears and after you shoot the VC and the points appear (not sure if it is supposed to be like that?) Did notice on the screenshots above with the easy / medium / hard options - I get that, but my screen is black, no green / map background Gallaghers Gallery - presuming a codec error and wont work / start - just intro video - even under 4.5.0 beta WinUAE - so same as before Here is the strange thing, if I use the Mad Dog or Mad Dog 2 Extended Rom - it works more, near perfect - no WorkBench hand, get service menu (the GG one, not Mad Dog) title screen - looks perfect bar can't fire the gun! Pretty big down side, but so strange Just when something bugs you! No worries - only 2 games that don't work for me so not a deal breaker! |

I only have VLC installed on my laptop; that's all you need for any videos. If you have stuff like "FFShow" / "Windows Media Player with codecs", or any other codec packs, then I would remove. Last edited by DamienD; 23 March 2021 at 11:52. |

Hi there I have a couple questions on american laser games on the latest version of WinUAE. I recently discovered WinUAE and have been messing around with all of the ALG games to play with a sinden lightgun and it works amazingly!
However I am having problems with 2 in particular. In the last bounty hunter I cannot get get the gun to fire at all no matter if I am using left or right player/gun. Every other game is able to fire the gun just fine who shot johnny rock will not boot at all. It just hangs at the boot up and the video doesn’t start playing. I don’t know if it’s because the rom size is 128k as opposed to 256k for every other game but any help on these would be great as I am a total novice with WINUAE. I can confirm however, that all the other american laser games do work and are fully playable. This emulator is really great I wish I had discovered it sooner! Thanks for any help or suggestions anyone may have! |

Thanks Toni for taking a look. Other than the last bounty hunter not shooting, everything else about it seems to work fine just like all the others. both players seem to work, and the holster works (was able to test in game because sometimes a bullet does seem to miraculously deplete somehow and I am able to reload. Also the trigger buttons for both players work in the service menu where you can check which buttons are being pressed but for some reason not in game. I’m going to keep trying to figure this out. It just doesn’t make sense how the game sees it in the service menu but not in game and I feel like it’s probably something i’m still missing. Also, The laserdisc video plays perfectly in game and passes the hardware tests. It seems to work fine other than the shooting issue.
I was able to get who shot johnny rock to do SOMETHING when using a version 1.5 rom. It will go through the boot cycle and then a bunch of ui elements flash on the screen over and over repeatedly but the movie doesn’t start to play. No idea if there is a rom that works. I’ve tested every possible rom set I could find. I haven’t a clue what to do or how to proceed from there. it’s the only ALG rom that won’t play. Is switching between revision A and revision B something to be toggled? from what i’ve researched the 128k who shot johnny rock roms are likely revision A single player rom and all the other 256k ALG roms are revision B 2 player versions. I don’t know if that means anything for winuae but I figured I’d ask. Also, there exist 1.6a and 1.6b roms on the dragon’s lair project website that winuae doesn’t seem to recognize. Maybe those could work but I don’t know how to get winuae to see them. I’m happy to do any testing or try anything further that may help. I’m a big fan of these games so any ideas you may have i’m happy to try. Thanks again for taking a look and for replying to my post! Last edited by apeezyfosheezy; 21 October 2021 at 09:09. |

Doesn't matter if a ROM is not recognised by the ROM scan.
You can load your config, select the "ROM" tab, click "..." next to "ROM file" and then manually navigate to / double-click on the desired ROM. BTW, you say you have numerous ALG games working. EAB only has these so far: ... Gallagher's Gallery ... Mad Dog McCree ... Mad Dog II - The Lost Gold [Italian] ... Platoon [prototype] Can you possibly upload all the images you have please? |

https://www.rulecity.com/dexterorderweb/ It is necessary to purchase a dexter unit to get the captures. If the issues with johnny rock’s roms and the last bounty hunter’s gun firing issues can be addressed all of the ALG games will work. They also work great with a sinden gun as I’ve gotten through all of mad dog mccree and most of mad dog 2 with one. Last edited by apeezyfosheezy; 06 November 2021 at 01:24. |

Ah I c! Thx for the info. Any idea which games work and which don't with Winuae? I'm interested in buying the images, but I'd rather get just the working ones
Also, any idea if these legit? https://www.romcollector.com/america...oad-p-164.html Thx! |

Hi Vulture, here is a list of what works and what doesn’t in WinUAE. I tested and configured every game I have a capture for. Also to note, these arcade versions can have major differences from how they play in the singe emulator. For example, space pirates is very different. Completely different player UI, and no reloading of the gun at all. I was really surprised at just how different these original arcade versions can be from what I’ve been used to using in Singe! Singe is also a great way to play these games!
Also, the link you posted there’s no need to buy those versions. They are the singe versions and can be downloaded from the singe2 website. As i said, the singe versions can play much differently than the arcade emulation in winuae. singe and their videos which are ordered differently and work differently, can be found here: https://kangaroopunch.com/?page=Soft...2006-singe.xjs The laserdisc captures being used for WinUAE can be ordered differently, have video frames not in the singe versions and are 100% arcade original. Here’s what works and what doesn’t in WinUAE: working: Mad dog Mccree Mad Dog Mccree 2 (english capture) Gallagher’s Gallery Space Pirates Crime Patrol Crime Patrol 2: Drug Wars working but with issues: Fast Draw Showdown - The game itself functions properly. This issue is you need to flip monitor to portrait view to view video properly. but when you do so the mouse is also sideways. Need to figure out how to do that so you can shoot properly without physically having to flip the monitor. the last bounty hunter - game plays correctly but the gun trigger button doesn’t work in game no matter how I map the buttons even though the test menu says trigger is being fired. The trigger is the only thing that doesn’t seem work in game. No idea what is causing that problem. Not Working: who shot johnny rock - none of the rom versions will boot.

Thx m8!
I will now purchase all these from your URL ;-) I notice that on https://www.rulecity.com/dexterorderweb/ "Gallagher's Gallery" is unavailable for purchase. Are you using the one from EAB? Also, quite new to ffmpeg. Can you please let me know the exact syntax to convert these to .AVI using the best quality? |
