| Act Light Gun Reload workaround? |

| Chris:
Yes. I'm using a version a few builds back, though, so if it's been broken in a more recent version I'm not seeing that. |

OK just tried Analog+ again. Reload is only availabel in the corners of the screen not off screen like it is in mame. It's much faster to hit button 2 to reload than shoot a corner until it registers. |

Shooting offscreen is equivalent to pressing Mouse Button 1. (Go into the menu, go to Reload, hit Enter, and fire offscreen.) --Chris |

It's a "feature" of the PC guns that made it so they didn't reload in mame. Official Mame -offscreen_reload works by translating all mouse button 2 presses to mouse button 1 when enabled. Analog+ adds another way to reload, by adding a fake button 2 that can be mapped to the fake button 2 the PC guns send. If both are used at the same time, they cause conflicts. So if you use analog+ way of reloading, do not enable official mame's reload. IOW, disable official mame's reload (aka -nooffscreen_reload, aka "offscreen_reload 0" in mame.ini) Analog+ way is more flexible but more of a hack. Official mame's way is in the core, but if enabled, you can't use the button 2 for anything but reload if enabled (and is still a hack, IMO). All this headache is caused by PC lightguns' differences from the real arcade lightguns, and the original arcade games not having a button to reload. |
