yeah the first thing I did before even loading up MAME was calibrate in windows. I had to unplug the button wires because the Gun I/O has a "screen out" button that gets activated whenever it loses track of the gun and windows asks you to push a button when you're done calibrating :lol

I get what you're saying about needing to calibrate in-game too. i guess I just assumed that mame would have mapped the pointing device coordinates to whatever the default calibration the game had.

I don't mind putting in the work as long as everything works well and I only have to do it once.

I've started listing out all the light gun games playable in mame and on other emulators... Is there a list of PC games that can be played with a light gun?

... The more I get into this the more surprised I am that we don't have a dedicated sub-forum for "shooting" games/cabs ;)

Downoad the Aim-Trak manual from ultimarc.
It lists every single gun game in MAME and instructions for setting it up if there is something oddball about it.

There is a really big thread in the main forum where we listed pretty much everything there is, then Darth Marino posted videos of most of them.
I can't be bothered to find it at the moment, but it is there. (This is one of the reasons I wanted a gun subforum. I'd have stickied it)

I shouldn't doubt my search fu:

I know. Lightguns were relatively easy back in the day, but now that we've moved to lcds it's a bit of a mess.

I wouldn't sweat Lethal Enforcers not working btw.... it's kind of a cruddy game and while looking for a solution for you I ran across several posts of the real arcade game not registering shots accurately... apparently it has issues.

There are very, very few pc games that don't have a working arcade port. House of the Dead III is one, but that game seems to randomly not want to accept inputs, so it's kind of broken on a modern pc. Typing of the Dead Overkill is another.... it comes with house of the dead ok. For the most part the remaining games are just ports of the old sega games, which are emulated fully at this point. I've done a lot of work on the model 2 games with troubleshooter 2.
