    Default WiiRemotePlus in MAME as lightgun. need some help.

    alright, so in MAME you can setup a regular Wiimote to use as a lightgun fairly simple, but if you have one of the newer style (motion plus inside) then GlovePie is unable to track movements and only sees button presses. Also, for any of this to work, you must use an earlier version of MAME (pre .117 from what I can tell) as the newer ones only allow rawinput, and glovepie/other methods require directinput.

    alright, so now here is what I have done.
    1. got my bluetooth to to list the wiimote as a device.
    2. using Dolphin 3.0 (wii emulator) I have fully paired my wii mote to my computer. this is necessary as it will show up in devices without it, the wiimote will keep flashing and not stay on until paired in dolphin or another program.
    3. use the program "WiiCursor" to have the wiimote emulate my mouse
    4. used a sensor bar to make my movements accurate.

    Now my WiiMotionPlus is point and click on the desktop and my mouse does nothing. Now when I load up MAME, several versions tried, the wiimote does nothing. I simply cannot get it to keep the mouse meulation from the desktop into MAME. i have tried several options in MAME itself, choosing lightgun as: mouse, keyboard, joystick, lightgun. none of them work.

    if someone could help me out in this last final step, I would greatly appreciate it.

    I would be looking for an update to glovepie I'm sure it took me a few tries to get it working, I was only testing though it never realy hit any interrest for me personly.

    as for Raw v's Direct I'm sure some coder will of created a prog like joy2keys or some other mapping tool that will convert direct into raw

    joy2keys won't help you it's just a tool to map joypads to keys and or mouse, but it is an example of a re-mapping tool

    I was reading Racket Boy's article (link) about playing Panzer Dragoon on the PC using the Wiimote. The guide tells you how to setup the Wiimote but I have no idea if this works with Mame.
