Act-Labs GS Series guns?

It should work.  The only questions are calibration and mapping.  I heard calibration on it was a pain.  Mame has to run at whatever res and refresh it was calibrated.

It should have worked in the old way, too (with same calibration problem).  But you have to enable -joystick, and disable -lightgun, and map accordingly.  I was supposed to get a set to test, but it never arrived in the mail. :-\

I agree, I have a pair of the older "Spaceguns" and they work fine on pretty much every working MAME shooter. No 98 drivers needed.

There were three models of spaceguns, as I remember: the 15-pin dual-gun gameport model, a USB single-gun VGA model, and a USB single or dual gun TV model.  Your spaceguns have the 15-pin connector?

Nope, mine are USB.

Ah, the GS guns, the subject of this post, were the game port guns.  It's been know the two USB models work in 9x.  (Mine do, too.)


And FWIW, the "USB single-gun VGA model" has been doing dual (or three) in official mame for a while now.  In both XP and 9x, but not 2000.  (Do not use the -dual_lightgun option, though; that hack was specifically for the TV "dual" guns.)
