*This game was released without proper lightgun support.

Dual Lightgun Support via Arcade Mod

The House of the Dead 2: Remake does not natively support dual-mouse input required for two light guns. To use light guns (e.g., Sinden, Aimtrak, or Wiimotes) with DemulShooter, you'll need the community-made Arcade Mod plugin.

What it enables

  • Full lightgun functionality for arcade-style gameplay
  • Two-player lightgun support
  • Compatibility with mouse-simulating lightgun hardware

Installation

1. Install the Arcade Mod

Download the HOTD Remake Arcade Plugin from the GitHub release page. Extract the plugin files into your main game directory, where The House of the Dead Remake.exe is located.

2. Configure the plugin

Run ArcadeMod_Config.exe inside your game folder. Under "Input Type," choose MULTIPLAYER. (Choosing "Single Player" will prevent DemulShooter from engaging P2 controls.)

3. Launch with DemulShooter

Make sure both of your light guns are mapped as standard mice in Windows. Launch the game, then run DemulShooter using:

-target=houseofdeadremake -rom=HOTDA
