Important Note :
You may encounter different version of these games, some as standalone, and some with Jconfig.
All these different releases are working with DemulShooter.

Block King Ball Shooter

This game is not a real lightgun game, but a tactile screen hardware and balls to send on it.
There are no difference between different players (score, life, etc....) so you can play up to 4 players coop with DemulShooter.

Usage :

  1. Unpack the game and run the Jconfig.exe

  2. Set your Start, Service, and other buttons as needed in Jconfig. DemulShooter will handle the Trigger button so you can leave it empty.

  3. Go to JConfig “Settings” and make sure “Mouse Active” is unchecked.
    This does not prevent DemulShooter to work but if the mouse is active it will stay captured in the window and it may be disturbing later if some kind of wrapping/full-screen program is created.
    This is my preference but it’s optionnal...

  4. Run DemulShooter for this game:
    DemulShooter.exe -target=ttx -rom=bkbs

  5. Play the game, no need for calibration

Controls:

Block King Ball Shooter
Mouse Buttons Left Middle Right
Action Trigger / /



Elevator Action Death Parade

This game is meant to run on a dual screen setup, with both of them set as 1280x720 portrait mode.

So for obvious reasons, DemulShooter will only support the windowed-single-display mode you can obtain by using the Jconfig utility in the package.

Usage :

  1. Unpack the game and run the JconfigEA.exe

  2. Go to “Settings” and make sure “Mouse Active” is unchecked.
    This does not prevent DemulShooter to work but if the mouse is active it will stay captured in the window and it may be disturbing later if some kind of wrapping/full-screen program is created.
    This is my preference but it’s optionnal...

  3. You can change the game’s language/audio by choosing the region

  4. Back to JconfigEA main screen, check Direct3D9 Wrapper and DX Window Mode

  5. Set the needed keys (Start, Coin, Exit, etc….) :
    Both player’s TRIGGER, OFFSCREEN and GUN BUTTON are not needed
    SELECT key is needed to close doors in game and skip cinematics

  6. Run DemulShooter for this game:
    DemulShooter.exe -target=ttx -rom=eadp

  7. Play the game, no need for calibration

Controls:

Elevator Action: Death Parade Controls
Mouse Buttons Left Middle Right
Action Trigger Gun Button Reload

Misc. Notes:

  • Screen is black during cinematics: that’s normal ! On the arcade machine, elevator doors are closed and cinematics are playing in another monitor which is not shown here on the single-windowed-mode
  • You can map keyboard keys in Jconfig then use AHK to bind your devices/buttons afterward, or if it’s beeing recognized by Jconfig as a gamepad, you can directly bind your gamepad’s button.
    You can set TRIGGER, OFFSCREEN and GUN BUTTON but they will no longer work with DemulShooter.
  • You can enable Fullscreen support (may be possible or not according to your screen specs) by doing the following :
    • At Step 4, uncheck Dx Window Mode in Jconfig
    • Use DgVoodoo with the following setting in "Appearance" : Full Screen / Stretched, keep aspect ratio
    • You'll have to go to the game's TEST menu and run a gun calibration to set the aim correctly



Gaia Attack 4

Usage :

  1. Unzip the game and make sure it’s working correctly (audio & video codecs)

  2. Open the game MINIGUN.INI file make sure you have :
    JVSENABLE 0
    GUNENABLE 0

  3. If using JConfig version of the game, make sure this line is removed from the MINIGUN.INI file:
    GUN_NUM_FAKE 0

  4. Run DemulShooter for this game :
    DemulShooter.exe -target=ttx -rom=gattack4

  5. Just run game.exe and play, no need for calibration.

Controls:

Gaia Attack 4
Mouse Buttons Left Middle Right
Action Trigger / /
Keyboard Button Action
1 P1 START
2 P2 START
3 P3 START
4 P4 START
S SERVICE / COIN
ESC TEST



Gundam : Spirit of Zeon

Usage :

  1. Install the game and make sure it's working correctly.
    If you want to play with the Dual Screen modified exe, you'll have to add the following custom resolution to your computer : 1280x480

  2. If you want to play like the arcade game (you're hiding when the gun is pointed out of the screen), jump to step 3.
    Overwise, if you want to use a pedal system to hide (like Time Crisis series), run the GUI window of DemulShooter and activate the pedal mode in the Gundam tab. You can choose a keyboard key for the pedal. If you're using an arcade panel or a joystick, you can simulate later the selected pedal key with AutoHotkey

  3. Run DemulShooter for this game, according to the version you're playing (Single Screen / Dual Screen):
    DemulShooter.exe -target=ttx -rom=gsoz
    or
    DemulShooter.exe -target=ttx -rom=gsoz2p

  4. Play the game, no need for calibration

Controls:

Gundam: S.O.Z Controls
ON SCREEN OUT OF SCREEN
Mouse Button Left Middle Right Left Middle Right
Action Trigger Bazooka / Launch Mine Take Mine Launch Mine
Keyboard Button Action
F2 TEST
F7 SERVICE
5 COIN

Misc. Notes:

  • If you run the original exe you'll see that I remapped mouse buttons controls. This is on purpose :
    right-click was originally used to switch to bazooka but on most configuration, right-click on Aimtrak is set to off-screen trigger, making the change of weapon impossible...



Haunted Museum

Usage :

  1. Open the game MUSEUM.INI file make sure you have :
    JVSENABLE 0
    GUNENABLE 0

  2. Run DemulShooter for this game:
    DemulShooter.exe -target=ttx -rom=hmuseum

  3. Just run game.exe and play, no need for calibration.

Controls:

    JVSENABLE 0
    GUNENABLE 0

Misc. Notes:



Silent Hill : The Arcade

There are 2 .exe available : KSHA.exe and KSHA_no_cursor.exe, but only KSHA_no_cursor.exe is compatible with DemulShooter.

Usage :

  1. Donwload and install (might be the hardest part !)

  2. You'll find in the game folder a config.bat script to set game keys, but not for Player2. So use DemulShoter GUI to set both players controls (see DemulShooter Configuration).

  3. Run DemulShooter for this game:
    DemulShooter.exe -target=ttx -rom=sha

  4. Run KSHA_no_cursor.exe

  5. Just play the game WITHOUT doing any calibration, aim is completely off in SERVICE menu but will work as expected in game.

Controls:

Silent Hill: The Arcade Controls
Mouse Buttons Left Middle Right
Action Trigger / Reload

Misc. Notes:

  • Aim is totally off in the SERVICE menu for gun calibration, don't use it !
