Aimtrak lightguns messing up Controller IDs
(1/5) > >>

In my ongoing struggles to get my upgraded arcade cabinet running, I managed to get my joystick ID situation worked out, but when I went to install my Aimtrak lightguns, things got screwed up again.  It took me a while to figure out what was going on, but as I installed each of my two guns, it pushed the controller IDs of each of my UltraStiks up by 1 (so controller 1 became controller 3, and controller 2 became controller 4).  The IDs didn't change in UltraMap or under Windows USB devices -- but they did within Hyperspin and my emulators.

I tried changing the lightgun IDs in the AimTrak software, but that didn't make any difference.  If I unplug both lightguns, my UltraStiks go back to their proper IDs.

Has anyone else run into this?  If so, how did you solf it?

Its caused by windows reassigning the controller ID's.

Look in the lightgun forum this has been covered many times :)

Oops, my bad.

I don't want to be "that guy" who continues a thread in the wrong forum, but it seems that my lightgun issue (as well as the other post I made that probably doesn't belong in this forum on my Joystick 1 and 2 swapping) have to do with Windows USB remapping.

Given that, is the Lightgun forum still the best place to look for answers, or a different forum?  If you have any advice on search terms, that would be great, as I'm struggling to find a post with the solution.  I thought ControllerRemap might be what I was looking for, but that appears to be MAME specific and I need my Joystick IDs to be stable for all of my emulators.

Thanks!

I use Tur to fix my ID’s so I would start with that :)

Somehow I figured out the combination of IDs to assign within the Ultimarc mapping and Aimtrak software to get the controllers to fall into order.  Stick 1 is labeled Stick 2, Stick 2 is labeled Stick 3, Gun 1 is labeled gun 3, and Gun 2 is labeled gun 4.

I still snagged Tur, though, because I'd prefer to have everything labeled properly.  Thanks a ton for your help!
