MAME lightgun crosshair question
(1/2) > >>
epetti:
I just got two light guns for my system, red and blue. I managed to successfully calibrate them and get them working with MAME. I also have them plugged in to match the color scheme of the rest of my control panel where all Player 1 controls are red and all Player 2 controls are blue. But, if I have crosshairs turned on, MAME seems to by default color the player 1 crosshair blue and the player 2 red. It's not the end of the world, but it's a little confusing to have those colors exactly swapped from the colors of the guns. I could swap the guns, but I'd rather not. Anyone know if there's either a setting or image somewhere for controlling the MAME crosshairs, either color or shape?
PL1:
There is a MAME "Crosshair Options" menu that allows you to select the crosshair color for each player, but I'm not sure how to make a global change.

I guess the lazy way to do it is to swap filenames on the red and blue crosshair images in the MAME\crosshair folder.   :lol

That's what I would do if I were determined to change the cross-hair colors. I noticed the same issue with my light-gun set-up. Doesn't bother me enough to want to switch the cross-hair colors, but I think switching the graphic file names would be the best way to do it.
epetti:
Hmm. Don't see a crosshair folder under MAME (I'm in .148. ). And under Crosshair Options it just lists DEFAULT for P1 and P2 Crosshairs with no way to change them.
PL1:
D'oh.   :banghead:

Works for MAMEUIFX, not regular MAME.
