| Player 2 doesn't off-screen reload in MAME |

First of all, thanks to all for your help! I've never posted before but I've been reading the boards for a year to get tech help while building my cabinet and found nearly all my questions answered here somewhere. All except this one.... When I got around to the light guns, I decided to go with 2 TopGun's on my MAME cabinet and they work great for the most part. I'm using the HKEMS driver and it works very well. But I'm unable to get the off-screen reload to work on the player 2 gun in MAMEUIFX. However, it works just fine when playing a CD version of HOD2 through Troubleshooter. So I know the GUN is working, MAME just isn't recognizing the off-screen input. It does, however, recognize the onscreen shots. And player 1 works just fine. I'm using Maximum Force as my tester and I've tried all combinations of mouse/lightgun/1/0/off-screen/dual/etc but to no avail. Even stranger though, is that on Carnevil player 2 works just fine. But player 1 won't off-screen reload! I've cut and pasted config settings between the two and it still doesn't work. Is there something obvious I'm missing? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Let me know if there's more information I need to provide. |

It's a problem specific to Area51 & Maximum Force. I had almost the same problem, but offscreen reload stopped working for Player 1 when I added the second gun (Act Labs). I did so many things trying to fix it, I can't tell you what worked. I know in the last round of trying to fix it, I deleted the cfg file for that game and changed some of the input devices in MAME.\ (I use MAME Plus or Mame32, so I'm just checking and unchecking boxes) I'm not sure what fixed it, but it works now. I will post all my settings when I get home from work. Wish I could be more help now. |

I'll look when I get home and post my cfg files. |

Thanks, I appreciate that. No worries about the timing, I'm at work, too...just got light guns on the brain too much to do any work. I'm sure these airplanes will figure out where to go on their own, right? The weird thing is I SWEAR it was working the other night. The only thing I changed was installing Troubleshooter. But that shouldn't have any affect on MAME, right? Or would it? Anyway, thanks for your help and config files. Would you mind posting both the maxforce and mame cfgs? |

Pretty sure the counter-intuitive thing I was thinking of is that you have to set "Dual Lightgun = 0" (very bottom of mame.ini) Anyways, here are my cfg files. BYOAC wouldn't let me upload cfg files, so I changed the extension to .txt Just change the extension back to cfg for the games and to ini for MAME. |
