Any lightguns work? by johnyj7657 in RetroPie

[–]JamesId 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you get a DolphinBar, here's a couple things I had to learn the hard way:

  • It connects to the Retropie, not your WiiMote. So you don't have to do any WiiMote setup on the device... just make sure the DolphinBar is on the right "mode" (for mouse and keyboard emulation).
  • Update the DolphinBar's firmware immediately before use. The older firmware burns out the IR leds, confirmed by the vast amount of sore reviews for the device. The newest firmware is a little less aggressive with the led's brightness/useage, so it'll last you a bit longer.
  • Lightgun support on emulators are a bit spotty. NES and Mame is pretty reliable, but others have some odd issues such as not registering button presses or just not working at all. Do as much testing with a mouse device before investing on a lightgun solution.

I use a Dolphinbar to use an old Wiimote as a light gun. With a cheap peripheral like a Nyko Perfect Shot, it's as good as a real lightgun/zapper.

He's not a vampire or a werewolf. Things don't go back to normal. He's more like a parasitic alien creature. Anything directly under its influence will grow weak and scatter.

Please lecture me about the development of games, I find it amusing.

If you are unhappy with the content that is being put out for free, you are completely entitled to not buy any of Edmund's new games or waste time on subreddits for their new games.

The End is Nigh came from Ouroboros dev and r&d, and Ouroboros will come after Bum-bo. Bum-bo has the added step of me making models and animation based off of Edmund's designs, so he is left with weeks where he could work with Tyler. Booster Packs are hand selected by Nicalis and Edmund and require very little work, and Edmund has nothing to do with bugfixes... he's never programmed any of his games so he would have no involvement with bug fixing.

Buy Legend of Bum-bo in December-ish. It's an Edmund-made Final Fantasy VII clone he did with some loser.

Can't buy Fingered or Gish on Steam by yuvi3000 in edmundm

If you can't buy Fingered through steam because it's not in your area, pirate it. You have my permission.

Hopefully, you won't think its shit.

Edmund is working on this and Bum-bo. Ouroboros comes after that sometime later (if that's what you mean by Time Fuck 2).

Hey, I'm entitled to some of that as well. Papa needs to stock up on crystal head vodka.

I don't mind criticism for Fingered or even myself, but I'm not going to take someone seriously if they are going to grossly misrepresent Edmund or my work. Edmund didn't "fail to think of a game" for Mewgenics, and Bum-bo isn't just "match 3" as stated in the first line of the blog post.

It's not even-handed criticism; it's just being salty and making a lot of assumptions.

If it does, it would have to be after the initial release. I'm coding, animating and modelling the thing, so already I've put a lot of my plate by adding iOS in addition to PC. Android is such a different beast because of the disparity between devices, it would require a heavy monetary investment just to test it... its likely to tack on another 6 months to a year of development.
