Short answer: No.

Long answer; explanation:

If you have "lightgun" enabled, you can use the lightgun axis and button to redefine keys in MAME. If you don't have lightgun enabled, you can not use the lightgun.

"lightgun_device" is to asing a control device to the MAME lightgun. Internally, this option overrun the control device enable/disabled, enabling it. For Aimtrak, the option must be "lightgun_device lightgun.". This also will change lightgun to 1 ("lightgun=1") when you run a game that uses a MAME lightgun controller.

You don't want lightgun_device mouse, because then you couldn't reload shooting offscreen.

My offscreen reload works just fine with it set to mouse.

To get the trigger to work in MAME, assign the trigger to button 1.

I haven't used MAME32, so I can only suggest what my working settings are in MAME.

MK3FAN:

Well, I have a new problem now. The whole damn thing quit working. I have to unplug it for several minutes to get it to start working again, then after a few seconds, it stops. I restart the computer, still nothing. After several attempts at plugging and unplugging the cables, it again starts to function but only for a few seconds, then stops again. This is all outside of Mame. I've about had it with this thing.

MK3FAN:

Now it appears to have died all together. I tried the system on 3 different computers and it doesn't work on any of them. I either received a malfunctioning unit, or something happened to it that I am unaware of. Regardless, thanks for the suggestions and I most likely won't be buying another one.

Paul Olson:

Email Andy. He will take care of it. I am pretty happy with mine, and although it took a few tries to get it calibrated, it works well.
