Yeah demulshooter is trouble shooter just modified for better compatibility.

Just to concentrate on one emu at a time prob best to start with mame.

So you said you have fixed all the controller ID’s which is good.

So after that have you changed the mame.ini file to enable dual mouse etc?

Have you set up the lightguns in the player options in mame? I.e to set X and Y axis?

1) I modified a script file that I had already created in the mame's ctlrl folder, which I called: "lightguns" ... now I updated the ID numbers in that script
2) I checked that in the .ini file of the mame, in the "core input"> ctrlr section, the script that I called "lightguns" is selected
3) I tried to change the "multimouse" entry in the ini file from 0 to 1 and vice versa, to see if something changed .... nothing to do
4) I set in the mame in game options, both input general and input this machine .... nothing to do! both the x and y axes and the trigger of gun 2 ... are detected as gun 1! crazy stuff! :badmood:

I wonder...could the second gun be defective?

Titchgamer:
Doubtful its defective, Try to play with just that gun and see if it works ok.

Just to check have you worked through this manual to confirm you have set all settings correctly?
https://www.ultimarc.com/AimTrak%20Setup%20Guide.pdf
Paying special attention to pages 3, 9 and 11.

If you still have trouble I can only suggest contacting Andy at Ultimarc, He is always willing to help and may even be along and see this thread at some point as he frequents here often.

Zebra:
You should be able to check if both guns are functioning properly in the Aimtrak software. If they both work there then it's related to how the emulators are set up. It's always worth knowing before you waste hours messing with settings.

I'm not 100% clear on whether the issue is with all emulators and PC games or if it is specific to the model 2 emulator (which often has trouble with 2 player light gun games without troubleshooter or demul shooter). If the problem occurs with all software then it could be a hardware issue.
