Cant get aimtrak set up in Mame

[Frank Drebin]

Hi Guys.

Using Mameuifx .166.  In the ini file I have:

mouse 1
joystick 1
lightgun 1
multimouse 0
trackball device mouse
lightgun device lightgun
positional device lightgun
mouse device mouse. 

^^These can all be configured in the UI which is handy instead of editing the ini file, and I've tried most combos. But I digress....


The Aimtrak is working fine in windows as a mouse, and it shows up in MAME, but when I go to set inputs for lightgun xy axis it doesn't get "accepted"?  Now normally when scrolling the configuration menu the highlighted choice is a dark blue, but when using the lightgun it is a light blue, almost as if it is a device in the background that isn't recognized?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Map the lightgun device to mouse.  Then you should be able to set up in games

OK I will be sure to leave it mapped as that.  I'm sure I tried already with no luck but will leave it mapped as mouse.

Success!

So I was using a compiled version of Mame that had mutliple .ini files.  One for Mame, one for vertical, one for horizontal, and one for vector games.  Copied and pasted the input options to all 4 ini files and Mame was able to recognize the light gun, finally.
