R/MAME RULES/REGULATIONS REDDIT'S ARCADE COMMUNITY Over time, MAME (originally stood for Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator) absorbed the sister-project MESS (Multi Emulator Super System), so MAME now documents a wide variety of (mostly vintage) computers, video game consoles and calculators, in addition to the arcade video games that were its initial focus. The fact that the software is usable serves primarily to validate the accuracy of the documentation (how else can you prove that you have recreated the hardware faithfully?). The source code to MAME serves as this documentation. This is achieved by documenting the hardware and how it functions. As electronic technology continues to rush forward, MAME prevents this important "vintage" software from being lost and forgotten. MAME’s purpose is to preserve decades of software history. MAME is a multi-purpose emulation framework. To start things off here are how to use the Wiimote to play light gun games on MAME and the Dolphin emulators.Questions? Please check out OUR MAME/BYOAC Wiki!

If you have managed to pair this with anything besides the Dolphin emulator (Wii/game cube games) and MAME (classic arcade games) with the Dolphin Infrared Bar (stand alone accessory), please share with me and others how you got it to work with step-by-step instructions. I can move the mouse cursor around but the click buttons don't register as mouse clicks so it won't work.

I have tried using Lilypad, Nuvee, Touchmote and using my Dolphin Infrared Bar and nothing seems to work. Nothing like the real Namco Guncons etc but they are good enough but the Wii and MAME only had a handful of worthy gun games to play and I want to now try to pair the Wiimote with Sony Playstation 1, 2 and 3 emulators to access other great light gun game titles but am tried everything and they simply do not work. So I have been resorting to pairing the Nintendo Wiimotes with MAME and playing them on my Wii games collection and it does it's job. Unfortunately where I live it is very hard to import light guns from overseas due to the "impersonation of firearms" laws and getting something like those Aimtrak guns through local retailers is rare as hens' teeth!

As many of you know, I love on-rail light gun games like The House of the Dead, Time Crisis, Virtual Cop, Haunted Museum and the list goes on.
