Hook Of The Reaper

[6Bolt]

I am the owner of the Hook Of The Reaper program. It is here on GitHub, and I pasted the link below. It supports MAME Hooker INI game files (currently just COM port), and a new game format I call Default Light Gun game format, which is independent of the light gun.

I am slowly adding in all the light guns to the project. Also have most of the games converted to the new Default Light Gun game format. I am reaching out to the OpenFire team to let you guys now that I will be adding OpenFire light guns into the program, for the v1.1.0 release. I have 5 light guns now, and OpenFire will be the 6th.

After I get all the light guns added and all the game files, I plan on then adding in support for LED controller boards and generic HID writes/reads.

Hello! I'm happy to hear interest in supporting our system. If there's any concerns you may have with integrating support (or if there's something else we can add to the MH commands subset), feel free to reach out with more inquiries.

Very much looking forward to this. :)

I did have one quick question. I know on the Gun4IR, if the pulses are 0, then it just does 1 Recoil/Rumble immediately, if it can (IE For 1 Recoil F0.2.0). Going through your documentation, I saw that this is not supported, and if a 0 is done for pulses, then nothing will happen. Is this correct? So on OpenFire, 1 Recoil would be F0x2x1, but it would go into a queue, and be done when it can. Then the problem might become that recoils are happening, after the trigger is not being held anymore, as it is in the queue.

An explicit Pulses 0 command will queue a single pulse if none are queued at the moment. Is that what you're referring to? Gun4IR doesn't exactly make its documentation neither public nor clear, so the details on how they're supposed to work is hard to know.

It is not documented currently (nor are R-type commands) as they were only added recently.

Yep, that is what I am referring to. Since I am trying to support most, if not all light guns, those types of commands are the safest to use. Then I don't worry about someone leaving a solenoid open or something else. I know that OpenFire does have a temp sensor for the solenoid, which is great.

Also, I just picked Gun4IR, as it seemed the most similar in the firmware commands. Still pretty new to light guns. This project started when my daughter got me 2 Reaper light guns for Christmas. One of the hardest things is to program for light guns that I don't have. Why I try to be on the safer side of things.

I understand, I'm just clarifying that that functionality is correct; if so, it's in master as of 909b081 (as well as an internal timeout for all serial-handled Solenoid operations, for exactly what you already described). :)

Is it possible for someone to answer the question I had above? Just wanted to check if you have an immediate command or not. Thanks.
