Could you tell us where is this awesome line? Maybe you're the only person that can read invisible lines (like some kind of superman...)(http://mamedev.org/releases/whatsnew_0106.txt)

"Fixed incorrect lightgun names. [Derrick Renaud]"


no comment on who specifically did the fix.... it's too easy


I will say this:

It'd be understandable to miss a few with all the positional guns in mame.  That is if it weren't for the controls.dat project, which has nearly every positional gun game documented, including revolution x and teminator 2 and you can sort by control type right on the main page. 

And before someone says it's not as accurate as mame's documentation, you are absolutely right... it is MORE accurate than mame's documentation.  ;)

Howard, you have a great imagination!!!  :laugh2: I suppose you are joking, or... :censored:

This is what Derrick fixed:

--- Quote ---Lightgun name:

Looks like I made a cut/paste error, when I cleaned up the lightgun names for 105. All lightguns are reported as the number of mice + 1. Oops.

Derrick Renaud:
Thanks for saving me from repling Cananas.  And you are correct.  I had nothing to do with changing Term2 to AD stick.

But the fix is correct.  And expect most gun games to be changed to AD stick before 107 comes out.

I did not want to change it because while correct, I did not want to hear people ---smurf--- about it.

As for peoples stupid responses of why was X changed and not Y... Them damn lazy MAMEdevs... etc...

REMEMBER, this is a frickin' hobby.  We overlook things, live with it.  Rome was not built in a day, etc.  The time spent bitchin about stuff, could easily be put towards sending in a fix yourself.

And finally, to answer a question that has been asked of me.  I have no intention of adding DIMOUSESTATE2 support so that more then 4 mouse buttons can be used.  RAWMOUSE can only support 5 anyways.  I have no desire to return to the input code to hear people ---smurf--- and moan about further changes, sorry.

Yes, you are right about the RAWMOUSE limit. Thank you for your confirmation. But If you change DIMOUSESTATE to DIMOUSESTATE2 (and something more) you can reach this limit (5 buttons) that is also the Smog driver limit, that of course, is the Microsoft limit.

Actually, mame is limited to 4 buttons. I don't know if Mamedev would be interested to admit this modification I made.
This is what I wanted to ask you.



BTW, we are happy with the RawMouse in Mame (we need it). Maybe some day Microsoft change this limitation...maybe...
