New Act-Labs guns!

Pages: << < (10/14) > >>

Only the TV USB Actlabs or guncon2 guns are support in the regular version of mame.

Depends on the monitor and version of mame.  Act Labs FAQ says for the PC light gun...

Can I use two PC USB Guns in tandem?
A: First of all, the software (Game) has to be able to support 2 Light Guns. Analog MAME allows support for 2 PC or TV USB Light Guns. MAME 0.79 and later support 2 TV USB Light Guns. Two PC and/or TV USB Light Guns can be used in tandem with the help of a special driver on this website:
http://thetroubleshooter.home.mindspring.com/.

That holds true for almost any lightgun that interfaces with the pc.

Chris:

The problem is that Analog MAME hasn't been updated since January.  I haven't found any version that works with XP with two USB VGA guns.

I see there is a thread on guncon 1...

MKChamp:

The 2 items that make me wonder if 2 guns will usuable in standard MAME are:

1) The bug fixed in .96

0.96
----

IMPORTANT: As of MAME 0.96, the source code license has changed.
Please see the new file license.txt for details. The new license
is based off the BSD license, with additional prohibitions against
commercial usage. See http://mamedev.com for additional details.


Changes
-------
Added step in/out support to TMS34010 disassembler. [Aaron Giles]

Added explanation that left/right joystick wiggle works on "OK"
screens. [Aaron Giles]

Fixed -dual_lightguns option. [Jonathan Lunman]
....

2) And this thread:
http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,29861.0.html

The drivers listed at http://thetroubleshooter.home.mindspring.com/ appear to be for special games that are not apart of MAME...thus it wouldn't help me in playing Carnevil or Area51.

When you  say it won't work, have you actually tried to get 2 PC guns working personally or saying what seems to be the general consensus? I could roll the Analog MAME diff in, put would the old version flow with MAME .98? Surely not, and I would like to be lazy and have just one version instead of 2...yea, I know, lazy.
