Act-Labs Dual TV Guns problem
Popcorrin:
I recently purchased the act-labs tv guns and when I went to set them up over the w/e it went pretty smoothly for the most part. The only problem I haven't been able to iron out is with the player 2 gun. When playing area51 all shots for player 2 register at the center of the screen even though the cursor moves to where the gun is aimed. I have tried using the standard version of windows mame .80 and I have also tried noname .80.
Is there some change I need to make in the ini files?
Thanks is advance

Did you remap player 2's trigger to that player's fire button?
(I don't actually own the TV lightguns, but I THINK that might be one thing that could cause your problem)
Popcorrin:
Yes I remapped the player 2 fire button to the 2nd gun's trigger which is actually mouse button 2. It fires a shot but the shot always hits dead center of the game screen no matter where you aim even though the crosshairs move to where the gun was aimed. It has me somewhat baffled.

I was looking at buying a second myself...but do you have the PC or TV version? According to the act-labs web site you need to have Analog MAME to run two PC guns - so you might need Analog MAME to run it.
A second - related question - can you get two PC guns to work under Windows XP? Their web site seems to indicate no, but I'm very interested in adding a second.

The TV guns should work using the regular Mame. You should find out why it's not working and fix it. If, however, you can't get it working, you should be able to switch them both to player 1 mode and use Mame: Analog+ to handle the 2 lightguns.

Yes. Two PC lightguns will work in Windows XP using Mame Analog+. There are two separate builds of Mame available from the Mame Analog+ site, one for Windows 9x and one for Windows XP. Both will support multiple lightguns for the corresponding version of Windows.
