Slippyblade:
You could always just make a batch file that would run the calibration and then run the chosen game. Setup your frontend to call the batch file instead of the game directly. Then it would calibrate each time the game was launched.

I run games through Mame and Sega M2 emulators and they work well but I can only get 1 gun to work with the M2 emulator.
This is due to the way the emulator handles dual light guns not the guns themselfs.

I always have the crosshairs turned on for all games, I would prefer not to however they can loose calibration slightly mid game (Usually a few inches) and then it can go back to normal rinse and repeat.
Having the crosshairs on just lets you keep going without having to re-calibrate ;)

As for the games I play my personal faves are Time Crisis, Point Blank, House of the Dead, Virtua Cop, T2, Carnevil and Crypt Killer.

Hope thats some help to you :)

Are you using the extra large sensor bar that is available from the Aimtrak seller, would that help at all in maintaining calibration and not using the cross hairs, I don't think I have seen any threads where someone mentions they are using this specific sensor bar.

The extra large bar is for use with large screens and projectors etc as when pointing to the edges of the screen the sensors loose track however my screen is only 21" so not a problem for me.

The calibration does not work that way sadly, It varies depending on light levels, Angle, Height etc.
Basicly you have to calibrate every time you play but it only takes a few seconds and can be done in game without having to leave the game or front end.

It's just a little less easier when you play games without any cursor, you can't know if the calibration has begun, if the shot has been registered and if the process has moved to the next calibration location. Hence the idea of a simple screen inside the fronted where cursor is shown to have visual feedback

For the very same reason, I highly advise not to use "Left clic" aimtrak button to launch calibration, as it will be executed when playing game like gunblade, time crisis 2 with machinegun-like weapons (finger staying on the trigger for a long time)
And with no visual feedback, it's really weird when controls are not working anymore because you're in calibration mode ;D

I wish someone could post a quick tutorial video on how to set up demulshooter from start to finish including how to set it up in Hyperspin / RLUI. That would be awesome because i'm super lost. Thanks
