- In this video I walk through a couple different light gun setup processes when mapping your light gun for different games on RetroPie.

I used a Nintendo Wii Remote w/ a light gun casing and the Mayflash Dolphin Bar.

Watched when premiered. It gives a true representation of the same quality picture on retro resolutions.
thanks for the support!!
Nice dont forget to flip dipswitches and use the calibrate option if the game has it.Makes a big difference in some games
Side art/bezels looking pretty dope. I'm still learning how to turn it on for all game systems. Using batocera.. cool video btw 😎 👌🏾
Do these steps apply NES, SNES, GENESIS, ETC.....
Does this save the setting every time? So you don’t have to do this every time
can you explain why the 3 games you tried, despite all using the same emulator within retroarch, have to be configured differently?? also why are the settings not kept for each game anyway as the settings you are changing are global settings, not game specific settings arent they? also how does one know out of which of the 3 different methods you have to use on a specific game? seems very convoluted to do this for every single lightgun game
Can u do a how to video for time crises with the Wii remote
only the ps1 time crisis will work and it's kind of shotty.
I am doing everything as you are showing but i can't make it work on the movement. The same method i followed on retroarch on PC and is working great but not on raspbery pi4. i am using my own image. And at the retroarch settings in controls i only have the gun icon without the label "gun start" "gun reload" etc....
When i am inside retroarch menu movement is working great but if i go inside the game is not working.
How can i fix it?
How stupid i am.....i was using the false mame. I changed it to Mame2010 and everything is working like a charm!!!
Awesome! I was literally just typing a response to check that and saw you're second comment just in time.
After I bind keys to the wiimote The targeting cursor only moves with my controller, not with the wiimote. What part am I missing? Light gun isn't an option on anything I try and it's not working except the buttons mapped. I am also unable to map the A button or trigger button nor can I use them when binding 😔
I figured it out. My control deck that has a trackball was hijacking it 🙄
my retroarch does not look like this - its the old style one. So when I select+X into that on Alien 3 .. then Settings > Input I dont get Port 1 Binds but Port 1 Controls and there is nothing Lighgun specifc in there? Do I need to get later version? I'm running RetroPie on RPi 4 4GB
Same here. I had to reference the author's original video. Worked like a champ! th-cam.com/video/eHTjg7lGhj0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=y41QPyp_9s-rlWLY
Why does it have to be usb 3.1? Will this not work with a zero2w?
Nice video buddy do you have a link where to get those light guns I like the look of those kinda tired of my old ones thx
Alot of the tutorials are dated and requires alot of code. You should be able to pair your remote easily now with bluez package. Just hold the red button to sync. Nothing special to do or need. All you need is the wiimote.
Do you have to set it up for every game?
Do you save game mapping or do you save override?
You say that what isn't covered here is in a older video.... care to point a guy in the right direction to the older video? Thanx
Here you go! th-cam.com/video/eHTjg7lGhj0/w-d-xo.html
I have been trying to pair my Wiimotes to my RetroPie on a Pi 4 but I just get a Socket read error every time I try to pair it. If I got the Mayflash sensor bar that's in your Wii products link, will that allow my Wiimotes to pair to it instead and be used in RetroPie without having to do the painful Wiimote pairing process from their docs?
Did you install the bluez package? No problems here on a 3b just hold the red button and it pairs just fine. I had to compile it myself.
I have a raspberry pi3, dolphin bar and 2 wiimotes. The dolphin bar is synced and on mode 2 with the 2 outer lights on the wiimote on. I cannot get the cursor to move on any light gun games but all other functions of the wiimote work. The cursor/cross hair works with the d-pad but not while pointing the light gun/wiimote at the screen. Any suggestions? Is there a setting I'm missing? Went into the game menus and I can't get any game to work other than using the d-pad or joystick and pulling the trigger on the wiimote.
I've never tried in a pi 3 so that could be your issue right there. Not sure. On a pi 4 the process is exactly as outlined. You could take a look at my other video which differs slightly because it's a different build/image but it's still very much in line with this.
I have a version 35 batocera running on a PC. It is a full bootable PC so there is no configurations for windows or anything. I have one may flashlight bar and a genuine Wii remote, and it works perfectly for all the games, meme and consuls. I am ordering another mayflash and lightbar because I would like to do two players. Are there any tricks or problems anyone’s having with 2 mayflash bars and two controllers?
should be able to do two controllers on one mayflash bar
Awesome! Thank you! I got my games working with this method! But I have to go into setting every time I load the game again and set the gun buttons. I've tried saving everything you can through the retroarch settings, remap and core and what not. I'm running VMANs 512gb image. I've literally spent the last 8 hours trying to get this to save. I can't figure it out. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Hey there unfortunately I run into the same dilemma there too
@@OfficialChaseBrogan Man that stinks.. I messed with so much stuff trying to get it to work that I can't even use "TAB" to open the "mame" menu now.. smh lol giving up haha
@@OfficialChaseBrogan can you confirm if this will work with PC (RetroArch) for NES/SNES games to use the wiimote and/or GameCube controller plugged into the wiimote? Would love if someone who already had the hardware could test this, as a TON of people cannot get the wiimote to connect to PC properly for anything other than Dolphin. It looks like you may have the solution though
RGG I tried the terminator key mapping exactly like yours but the cursor stays right in center the pad works but Gun doesn’t respond
Which image are you using 512gb or 256gb?
@@OfficialChaseBrogan 512gb its funny the other two games on there worked but the sensor doesn’t recognize the gun it shoots up to the upper left of playfield so I figure I’d try to resync it and that didn’t work..then I thought it was the retro pad setting but there’s no light gun icon there..? But I love that card
Just wondering bud does the RP4 keep the settings or do we have to do this fix every time you want to play? Thanks
Which image are you using? The 256 saves the 512 it depends on the game/collection. It differs collection by collection and which versions and setups are being used.
@@OfficialChaseBrogan the one you used to do that tutorial. I think it’s the 512 I’m not good with numbers
Have you successfully mapped two guns on the pi4 through retroarch? Just curious if it can be done.
I have not done so personally but have heard it can be done however you need two mayflash dolphin bars because you can't pair two with 1 bar and have it work properly.
@@OfficialChaseBroganthis is good to know
Can you set up 2 wiimote at the same time?
you'd need two mayflash dolphin bars to do that
does the machine use raspberry pi?
He doesn't in the video, but this setup works equally well with a Raspberry pi 4. I can't speak to pi 3s or other versions and if they can sufficiently power the wii bar.
Thank you for making this tutorial. This was amazingly helpful. Had some issues with inside game controller but switching to Mame2010 fixed it all. Kudos to you buddy 🫡 👏👏
What light gun casing did you use?
probably this www.amazon.com/NioTech-Wii-Motion-Plus-Nintendo-Black/dp/B00B47WVLE/ref=pd_day0fbt_img_sccl_2/135-5639784-5119831?pd_rd_w=OaSAa&content-id=amzn1.sym.4f1ddc71-f45e-4113-b3ab-af5a714525a1&pf_rd_p=4f1ddc71-f45e-4113-b3ab-af5a714525a1&pf_rd_r=SS117E1G4K02EWADMY95&pd_rd_wg=oDvGy&pd_rd_r=8b94b243-b9df-4447-b2e5-b66ca6afafb1&pd_rd_i=B00B47WVLE&psc=1
Does this work on RP3?
I'm not sure haven't tried on a 3
