lay72: 2860/5000 Hello everyone! first of all I apologize for my English ... I am Italian. I immediately pass to the inexplicable problem that has been ruining my life for about a month! having already had an aimtrak for a couple of years ... I thought it well to buy a second one to play with my girlfriend and some friends from time to time ... also driven by the cabin games that are emulated and updated since 2017 .. ..sega, taito etc ... but ... I never did! I spent a lot of my time, for a month now ... to download and set various games, emulators, loaders and various programs ... in short, I didn't sleep almost overnight! and at the end? after spending more time to properly configure the two guns in ultimarc's ultility, nothing works! in practice, in any game and with any emulator, there is a sort of conflict between the two guns ... so the second gun is always detected as gun 1 .... in the emulator model 2 (house of the dead ) the sights of the two guns get stuck at the corners of the screen, making it impossible to calibrate the guns in game ... I tried everything .... also to change the IDs of the guns, both in the emulator ini and in the ultility aimtrak .... but nothing to do..always the same problem ... you can't aim for anything ... so the game remains unplayable, also, shoot and reload with the gun 1 .... consume and also reloads hits for the second and vice versa. This happens in any game and emulator .... including MAME ... where in truth, you can aim well with the two pistols .... but as I said earlier, the second gun is detected as gun 1. ..with all the problems I have already explained. I also tried Alien extermination .... the two sights are impossible to command and jump from one part of the screen to the other like crazy ... with consumption of shots and recharge as already explained .... same goes with gaia attack 4 .... unplayable! I really tried everything .... the first gun has the firmware 9.19, while the second the 9.20, so I thought that was the problem ... and I updated the firmware of the second gun .... which strangely in the utility aimtrak recently downloaded, appears to be updated to 9.19 .... so now both guns have firmware 9.19 .... nothing to do, I have not solved anything ... and now with no more strength and no desire to continue. ..I gave up! having two aimtrak ... is the best way to go crazy! will the second gun be by chance? I don't know what to do and think anymore .... I hope for your help! I am desperate! my OS is win 10 pro 1903 .... sorry for the long outburst .... but some of you, I think can understand me! everything in the aimtrak utility works very well and with both guns, I can control the mouse on the desktop very well .... help please !!  :banghead: :cry:

Titchgamer: Firstly please try to break up your rants into paragraphs as they are very hard to read. Secondly I can promise you that 2 aim traks will work in mame, Aliens, M2 etc as mine do so. So regarding your problem a few things you can try. Firstly check that each gun has a seperate device number in the ultimarc utiliy. To do this plug one gun in at a time and set them to different ID’s before plugging in both together. Mine are set to 1 & 8 but it should not matter as long as they are different. Regarding the M2 emu that one is a PITA to set up but look up demulshooter by our very own light gun guru argonlefou here: http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,149714.0.html You will also need to edit the config file for the M2 emu quick google search should help with that. Try that and get back to us.

Zebra: Also, check in the Aimtrak software if you have your gun set-up as a mouse or analog controller. It usually works better when it outputs as an analog controller but the Model 2 emulator only allows mouse input for gun games for some reason. If you can't move the crosshairs at all then you could have is set as an analog controller. You can also try Troubleshooter 2, a bit of free software written by one of the guys on this forum. It's to help deal with some of the issues with using two guns in emulators and helps you set up controls properly when the emulator won't. It only works with the old version of the Model 2 emulator, not the current version so check you have the right one. Just one other thing as you said the crosshairs were jumping all over the place... You are using just one sensor bar when you use two guns right? Trying to use two would certainly confuse the guns.

I had already changed the IDs on the guns several times ... but I wanted to try inserting one gun at a time, changing the IDs again ... how do I you suggested .... in fact, I set gun 1 to device 1 and gun 2 to device 8 ... just like you did ... nothing to do ... same problem. I know the 48-page thread about demulshooter .... surely in that thread there will be those who have had my same problem .... but it is hard to read 48 pages ... imagine for me that I am Italian! I followed the installation and configuration of the various games and emulators (including the files) as in the argonlefou instructions on the demulshooter github page .... so I just have to give up ... I don't know what else to do. .repeto, in the ultimarc ultility settings ... the guns are detected correctly ... and everything works ....  :cry:

I only have a bar for both guns ... and I tried to set the guns in joystick emulation instead of mouse..it doesn't detect any movement ... so worse ! I just have to try troubleshooter 2 .... but demulshooter is nothing more than the advanced version of troubleshooter? however I will try ..... a download link please?  :'(
