Thanks @tony.silveira ,

I recall in the past you were a huge help to me, so thank you.
And I very well make take you up on the offer to PM you for assistance.
In the next two/three weeks I plan on "trying to wrap this up."
(this weekend is a wash as my little girl turns 5).

I have an older version of MAME, v0.124 if I'm not mistaken. Hopefully that will work for SMS. I know I read in later builds MESS was built into MAME.

Like you I use FUSION, and will continue to use FUSION for SMS & Genesis games that are not light gun games.

Fingers crossed all will work out and I'll be using these guns in no time (for Sega stuff).

tony.silveira:
oh your on 124, you would need to run an older version of MESS then. in any case, just PM me and happy birthday to your little girl!

DarthMarino:
I use MAME for Master Systems games. There is an older program called FreezeSMS that worked with Aimtrak as well though it had it's limitations and a game or two didn't work.

I've yet to find a Genesis emulator that works with Aimtrak. Hopefully MAME can implement it and fix the Super Scope input.

tony.silveira:
hey darth, use retroarch 1.6.9 and genesis gx plus core. note that newest retroarch broke the triggers (cursor will move but no firing).

at least 1.6.9 works for me and my old actlab guns...

mike boss:
Thanks guys, some good info here.

So MESS supports light guns, or does it depend on the ROM?
I'm unsure (since my MAME is older) if I should go with MESS or even try FREEZESMS ?

For the Genesis I'm going to try the RetroArch for sure.
Just Sega Master System I'm left with a few questions.

With where I am in my setup I'm unsure if I should go with a newer MAME.
I'm not that tech savvy, so I'm unsure I'd be able to rebuild my ROM set, etc.

Any drawback (in reality) to using a version of MAME that does not match your ROM set ? My set of ROMS is for 124...but if the newest MAME would be good I could try.

Ughhhhhhh............ such a pain ! LOL
