Thanks Circo, Nice to know someone realizes there is a issue and I am not retarded as Fozzy seems to imply. I will do the same for you as well. I am going to try a couple older versions and see if I have any results. I will keep you posted.

Maybe (I didn't test the 0.111 Mame version) this topic is related:

First off I would like to thank those of you that monitor this thread and attempt to provide support to people having trouble.

Your help is greatly appreciated!!

I have been researching light guns, and I agree that the LCD TopGun stands out from the rest. I recently ordered two from PlayAsia, as well as a Blaze stand ( for screens >60 inches ) so that I can play on a projector that I have.

When the guns came yesterday I ran into a problem setting them up, that I couldn't figure out on my own.

As soon as I plug the guns in, Windows automatically detects them and installs drivers. However, it installs them as "Generic USB Hub", and seems to be perfectly content with that.

I tried using all 3 drivers available: EMS drivers v 3.2, Acron's WinGun ( latest version ), and Smog's drivers ( latest version ).

Each driver installed successfully ( and yes, I uninstalled previous drivers before each new one ), but couldn't detect a gun connected.

If I uninstalled the driver for "Generic USB Hub", the gun apps still won't detect a gun. After a few minutes, windows re-installs the "Generic USB Hub" drivers.

Whenever I move the gun to a different USB port, it reinstalls the Generic USB Hub drivers.

I am running Windows Vista Beta (build 5384), which I'm sure is part of the problem.

Has anyone ever heard of this happening to someone? Is there a way to get around it or am I stuck?

P.S. I am only working with one gun atm, I have not tried plugging in two at once. Baby steps.

Thanks!

I know people who had to format after that :D
Joke apart ... vista is not yet out, don't you think is too early to submit problems about it ? :D

Guys I don't know if this is old news, but in newer versions of mame. Treat a light gun like a mouse. Just put a 1 in the config next to mouse. That ought to get you started. Then in each MAME game try to calibrate. Some mame games are different in the way you will calibrate for that game.

Good luck!

Also sometimes you need to hit tab and set prefs for certain games. There is a section on Act-labs website that will tell you some info on setting this up.

That link above should get you all set. Good luck again!
