Windows 7 + MAMEUI64 V139 + Dual Act Labs Light Guns = #$#%$#!!!!
« on: September 11, 2010, 11:24:11 pm »

Has anyone gotten Dual Act Labs Light Guns to work with MAMEUI64 V139 and Windows 7 64 Bit?

The best I can do it to get MAMEUI to think that both guns are "Gun 1".

Here are some highlights from my mame.ini:
#
# CORE INPUT OPTIONS
#               
mouse                     1
joystick                  1
lightgun                  1
multimouse                1
offscreen_reload         1

#
# CORE INPUT AUTOMATIC ENABLE OPTIONS
#
lightgun_device           lightgun

#
# INPUT DEVICE OPTIONS
#
dual_lightgun             1


When configuring controls, both guns are seen as Gun 1.
Ex:  GUNCODE_1_XAXIS

Manually changing the Player 2 controls to GUNCODE_2, does not work.

I also could not get MAMEUI to see the Guns as mice. When I tried that they didn't register at all.

Thanks!

This is not the help you want but have you gotten them to work in just windows yet?  That would be the first thing to do.

Counterintuitive, but dual lightgun=0

Not sure why, but that's the way it worked with my act labs guns (xp)
Otherwise, both show up as lightgun 1.

Got it. I had to set the mame.ini file like so:

#
# CORE INPUT OPTIONS
#               
mouse                     1
joystick                  1
lightgun                  0
multimouse                1
offscreen_reload         1

#
# CORE INPUT AUTOMATIC ENABLE OPTIONS
#
lightgun_device           lightgun

#
# INPUT DEVICE OPTIONS
#
dual_lightgun             0
