help getting act labs TV gun working in MAME

I have my gun working for pc games house of the dead 1 and 2 but I am not quite sure how you configure the gun to work in mame games such as police trainer, Terminator 2, and Revolution X, really need help, thanks.

Terminator 2 and Revolution X: You must have Lightguns disables in your mame.ini to calibrate these. Oce this is done, then use the joystick to calibrate the gun positions. After that enable lightguns and you are ready to go.

As for Police Trainer, you shouldn't have to do any mods excpet enabling lightguns in the .ini file and calibrating the gun to the screen like it says in Act-Labs directions.

Sorry if I sound dumb, but where exactly is the mame.ini file? If i know how to get to it, ill be able to change it, thanks.

Open up command prompt and type mame -cc. That will create the mame.ini file. Open that up and you'll be able to enable joysticks, etc.. in it.

Is there any way to configure this from MAME32 and not going into the command prompt?

I know there is a post a while back that was concerning the guns. I believe there was somone on there that posted concerning Mame32. There is also a webiste that deals with setting up Mame32. Just google and it should come up.
