I bought this http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&Item=280518657301&Category=139969&_trkparms=algo%3DLVI%26its%3DI%26otn%3D2#ht_2960wt_1139 I installed and ran this http://xoomer.virgilio.it/guncon2/ I installed MAMEUI and set lightgun 1 in the mame.ini The mouse works great in Windows The mouse works great in the Mame GUI menu When inside a game, i can navigate the TAB menu with the gun But it just WILL NOT MF***** well accept any inputs from the gun when i press enter to set something like "P1 Button1" or "LightGun X Analog" Its just absolutely WILL NOT work in a game, but works fine in absolutely EVERYTHING else Even more frustrating, I works FINE in an old version on MAME - like mame32 0.03 All the games work fine with the gun, but the ones I really want to use it with (area51 etc) wont work with that version of MAME!!!!!! WTF is there anything can I do to get this thing working with a version of mame that can work with the CHD files?? |

I've never used that type of gun, but getting it to work should be similar to getting Aimtrak to work (since Windows already can see it.) Being a CHD game or not shouldn't have any effect. Check the settings, and make sure you turn on lightgun input and offscreen reload (and probably mouse input too.) Lightgun input is a separate setting that was added a while back. Go in the game, and turn on your cursor [tab button]. If the cursor moves, you're all set. If not, use Tab to go into Input (for that game), and change Lightgun X Analog by moving the gun back and forth. Do the same for Y, and your trigger for P1 Button 1. Sorry if this isn't very good instructions, in a bit of a hurry. Maybe someone else can clarify anything I left out. |

yeah thats the problem, the light gun input box is always greyed out, although I can make it checked and greyed out by editing the mame.ini The INput menu doesnt work because although I can navigate the menu WITH THE GUN when I press enter it doesnt 'hear' me waggling the gun to tell it "this is the x axis" Its totally totally wierd and frustrating :angry: |

so after 9 hours of fighting it I offically give up Who has windows XP and a gun that works with the latest Mame? What type of gun is it? Ill just buy that one |
| romshark:
Personally, I use an Ultimarc AimTrak (and there should be kit forms coming in a week or so.) But I fear that, since you have your current guns working in Windows itself, then the same thing will happen again even with new guns. Hard to say, since the Guncon software appears to be 4 years old, and there's not much mention of MAME on the site. Sorry I can't be more helpful. Never owned this type of gun. |
