aimtrak lightguns both showing as gun 1 in mame
« on: June 26, 2016, 10:31:31 pm »
both aimtrak guns are showing up in the aimtrak utility separately as device 1 and device 2. When setting the x & y controls in mame the guns both show up as gun 1.
When playing area 51 in mame both guns have the same color crosshair. No matter what I set crosshair color to in mame both crosshairs change to that color of player 1.
There is also a third crosshair in the middle of the game screen which is the color of the player 2 crosshair setting. I can't get that crosshair to move at all.

Mame.ini multimouse is enabled.

Do you have a MAME version > 0171 ?
if so, here's the problem and the solution : http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,150393.0.html

Thanks for the quick response. I'll check this out tonight. Not sure which version of mame I'm using.

I had a version of the mame no-nag dainput 0.166 which fixed my issues. Thanks for sending me in the right direction.  :cheers:
