Help - 2 Act PC light guns - but both control P1

[mamerJ]

I just got 2 Act light guns (PC version) they are chained together and both work, but they both control player1?

I'm running Mame32 v.99, I've checked the enable light gun, dual light guns and off screen reload. I've tried the cpn mouse drivers and still no luck? any ideas?

thanks

Are they the tv-out version, or the vga monitor version?

In other words, is there a 1-2 player switch on the gun or no?

sorry forgot to include that - vga version

There may be several issues you need to cope with:

I'm assuming that you are using Windows XP.

The VGA light guns don't work with the standard mame multiple light gun feature.  That feature is only supported with the TV-Out light guns from Act Labs.  You could use an older version of Mame Analog+ (0.83.2 is the latest version to support multiple mice in Windows XP).  If you want to use the newest Mame version, the Advance Mame will be your best bet.  AdvanceMame supports RawInput or CPNMouse, 2 different methods for using multiple mice.  RawInput might be the easiest to set up.

You will probably need to remap a the triggers to the players' fire buttons in the game.

I'll give those a try, any tips?
