Tutorial
Currently, only Windows is supported. For Windows 11 & 10, use the regular version. For older versions of Windows (8.1, 8.0, 7, Vista, XP), use the Qt5 version. I plan on doing Linux after the program is complete. I don't plan on doing MacOS support.
This tutorial is broken into four sections. The first section will show a person how to get the Hook of the Reaper program working with DemulShooters and emulators. This is by enabling the network output of DemulShooter and the emulators. Hook of the Reaper gets output signals through the network, and not by the windows communication that MAMEHooker used. Now that network has wide support on all platforms, it is a better choice than the windows communication, which is only under Windows. The Second section will show a person how to setup Hook of the Reaper. It will detail how to input all the supported light guns. And then how to assign those light guns. After doing these steps, a person will now be able to use Hook of the Reaper, while playing light gun games. The third section is the most frequently asked questions. The fourth section is the available tools that can be used with Hook of the Reaper. The tools are coded by 6Bolt and available on his GitHub site.
