Many of the changes for this update are code rewrite/cleanup for future proofing RocketLauncher's codebase. There are still some outstanding bugs that we have not had time to get to. Apologies for that, I just wanted to get this update out as it's been awhile.

This release includes the LaunchBox plugin update many have been waiting for, along with the User Functions refactoring brolly posted about here. So any of you using your own custom code, you will have to move it into the new files.

Every module/lib was also updated with header changes. This doesn't mean they have any new features or anything, just that the old method for the headers will now fail in RLUI.

The Full Install download has also been updated to reflect this version in the Downloads section.

Has Demulshooter been added to RLUI yet? If not, do we know when that might happen? It's an amazing program to play Sega Model 2, Demul, some PC, and Dolphin light gun games in 2 player dual mode. But can be a pain sometimes having to use the CMD line to use it. This would be a sweet feature via RLUI. I know some have figured it out with the USERS FUNCTION AHK, but that method can be complicated to figure out for some (including myself). Thanks

When someone that actually uses it helps djvj figuring something out with it, there's a thread somewhere where he asks about it, but it has been so long that I don't even recall what the problem was anymore.

Ok, found it:
http://www.rlauncher.com/forum/showthread.php?3085-Demul-with-DemulShooter/page2

Basically seems the question was if you could run DemulShooter from a separate folder or not. After quickly checking the docs it seems that you can : "...Just unzip it in whatever directory you want..."
Click to expand...

Absolutely, it can be from where ever - it just needs the correct arguments sent on launch.

I've just got an aimtrak and would be very happy to help getting this working nicely with RL.

Couple more thoughts on this...

I'm guessing the way to implement would be:

- add a module system setting to define the path to demulshooter exe. Or do this globally in main RL settings.
- add a module game setting to enable demulshooter on the relevant games. Boolean option.
- Add code to the module that checks the game demulshooter setting, if true load demulshooter at launch - with relevant command line options.
- Add module code to kill demulshooter on game exit, if it was enabled.
