Aimtrak and PSXFIN emulator
« on: May 05, 2012, 06:32:48 pm »
How exactly does one configure the aimtrak light gun with the psx emu?  I wanna play Time Crisis with my light gun.

My aimtraks work fine in other emus.
My trigger is mapped to Mouse Left and the side buttons to GP Button 1&2.
In the PSXFIN emu, if my Device is set to "none" and the type to "Normal Pad", the side buttons work, no trigger, and the gun won't aim (not surprised).
If I set the device to "Aimtrak Device #1" and the type to "SCPH-0034: GunCon" then none of the buttons on the gun work, but I can aim fine in the game. With these settings, the PSX config menu recognizes the Joy 1 & 2 buttons as being pressed, but they don't function in the game. If I try to configure using the trigger on the gun, it left clicks (mouse) out of the app to wherever the mouse cursor was.

How does one configure the aimtraks with this emu?

I have never tried PSXFIN before, however I have managed to get my Aimtrak to work with PCSX-R and the new plugin that has been created recently, see: http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=113271.0 . Time Crisis seems to work very well with this emulator and plugin (see the video on my project page :0) )

Thanks, but I solved the issues I was having by switching over to ePSXe emu.  A couple more issues popped up with that emu, but I solved those this morning...

ePSXe frame rate speed issue with a Google search:

Solved the specific game lightgun (Aimtrak) config issues by reading the directions at the Troubleshooter website more thoroughly:

It helps to sleep on it sometimes!  ;)
