| HELP: Area51 reload in Mame32 |
| (1/2) > >> |

I just set up my act-labs TV USB light gun and I am playing area 51. The gun works fine now, except when I try to reload (ie: hitting the button on the side of the gun) nothing happens. I saw a past forum post stating to use AnalogMame+ and one which posted some ctrl.ini file but I have no idea how to actually utilize either of these suggestions. Anyway, is there a way I could use my current Mame32 and have the gun reload work properly? |

I'm not aware of any arcade gun games where you press a button to reload, you always have to shoot outside the screen... |

I tried shooting off the screen as well, nothing happens..... any ideas what I need to do? |
| RacerX:
Unfortunately, with MAME32 you have to shoot the exact edge of the screen. Shooting off of the screen won't do it. I think there is a MAME hack that will work correctly (does NoName MAME do this or MAME analog+?). |

The only GOOD solution at this point (AFAIK) is the unlimited ammo cheat. The reload thing they built into MAME recently "almost" works. It is designed to move the cursor to the (0,0) coordinate, and then fire. It usually fires before it completely gets to (0,0) though. The reason the "fire off screen" reload doesn't work in most games is that the Act-Labs gun fires at the last aim point if you press the fire button when it can't see the screen. There are some arcade games that let you use the reload button. I can't think of which ones at the moment, but they ARE out there. |
