Two light guns still show up as the same first gun within MAME

[Carlisimo]

This topic has been covered here (http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=150393.0) and here (http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,150452.msg1572347.html) and was supposedly resolved as of the 0.177 release (http://mamedev.org/history.html).  However, this issue still persists for me.  I have tried 0.173, 0.175, and currently 0.179 all with the same results — the second light gun appears the same as the first light gun (i.e. Gun 1).

Any guidance on how to resolve would be greatly appreciated. 

Here’s my set-up:

I have Gun 1 configured to ID #2, and Gun 2 configured to ID #5.

Thank you.

Can you try with a new fresh mame.ini (adjusting only the required parameter to enable the lightguns)?

Pitou!

[Pitou]

Just tested with Mame 0.188 and Police Trainer and everything is fine.

Pitou!

It needs to be a raw input MAME version.

It needs to be a raw input MAME version.

Which has been the default for a long time, including the versions being mentioned.

Unless the OP is being one of those moronic idiots and asking support for some unofficial build with it ripped out without mentioning it, but I don't think anybody is that stupid in this day and age.  They're posting links to the official site, so it implies they're using official builds.  The -verbose log also implies rawinput is being used (there are no dinput related lines) so something else is going on I feel.

Somebody posting their mame.ini and  -verbose output from a working version might be useful for the poster to compare against.

The issue is meant to be fixed, and plenty of people have reported it works fine, but we do still keep getting people saying it doesn't work.
