I just got my topgun and have been having the same trigger problems as others in mame. It works fine in windows, but in mame the trigger doesn't work. I'm using ems 3.2 and mame .119, if anyone could help thanks.... also I tried smog's drivers but they wouldn't even see the gun.

GreatLamer:
Only Smogs 0.9b6 works with the topgun. You must use AutoCalibration. After press save/refresh you need to plug out and plug in the gun. After this, your gun calibrated during use, not in calibration procedure. Just move the mouse pointer with the gun all 4 screen edges, and the cursor moves perfect after doing this. It must be perfect for all game/apps.

Hi to all:

I read all.... the topic and it was a great one (and a long one), and help me to set the guns.

I had 2 topguns working great with smog´s driver for about a year in mame32, but I had 2 problems:

1st.- I can not play games with Adstick control (aliens 3 or Operation thunderbolt), because in the tab control mame do not detect the guns.

2nd.- the last weekend we were playing and windows make a sound like one gun (gun 2) was disconnected, I quit the game and look at sys and it detect only one gun, I unplug and replug the gun and it was detected, but as soon as I point to the screen it make the sound and end the gun, it continue to turn on the laser when pointing the screen but it not works.

can any had this problem before?

I was interested about hacking the gun but... I will wait till hear some one else with any idea of what is happening.

Which version of mame32/mameUI are you using?
Assuming it's semi recent, make sure you are mapping the AD Stick Analog items, and NOT the AD Stick Inc/Dec items. For more details, follow the instructions here (even though it's written for actlabs).

Sounds like the gun is shorting somewhere when it senses the LEDs. :( This could be anywhere from the optical sensor to the chips to the power convertor in the gun, to the USB cable, to the USB port in the computer. Is recoil plugged in? This was the first to go in one of my LCD guns; try leaving the recoil power unplugged (even though I doubt this is the problem, it's the easiest to test).

I really wish Ultimarc or RandyT would come up with some relativelyl fool proof gun system... I"d drop some money in a heartbeat but from everything I read Guncon2 and topguns seem to be more trouble than they are worth.. Hell, I have enough trouble just trying to get Pacman to run at the right resolution :)
