Help w/ lightgun installation (edited)

NickG:
You are using a Television set or other CRT through composite or s-video, correct?
What driver(s) is(are) installed in Device Manager? "Guncon Device" + "HID-compliant mouse" is supposed to work with guncon2mouse.  You should have a different driver if using wingun.

Did what?  What is recognizing the gun?  How can you tell?

So is your mouse pointer tracking your lightgun when you are not running the configuration tool?  Your trackball, mouse, spinner, etc. should be able to move your crosshairs in addition to your gun.  I am not sure if this is also true for multi-player mouse/trackball setups.  If you think your trackball is interfering, just disconnect it for a moment, then you'll know.

BTW, I still haven't had complete success with either driver for my gun, but the pointer tracks on the desktop with Smog's driver,  so it is a good troubleshooting step me.  I can't get the trigger or any buttons working with it, though.  I thought I had gotten it to work completely before; maybe it was just a fuzzy memory...  :dizzy:

Im using ArcadeVGA to an arcade monitor.  Both the Guncon2 and HID Compliant drivers are installed and when i disconnect the gun from USB that goes away so im assuming the driver is correct.   I did undo the trackball and that proved nothing so im assuming that it has nothing to do with it.

I have also been struggling with a similiar problem,  Mine actually works perfectly as a mouse in windows and it tracks in AREA 51 for MAME but does not hit anything when i aim and shoot.  The screen flashes and the recoil on the gun goes but it doesnt hit a guy when i shoot at him,   the blue target even moves with the gun so i know the computer thinks im pointed right at him,  its really weird and driving me crazy.

I have messed with the mame settings, gone through every thread I can find here, every website i can search for and can not find the answer,  i have the newest 1.18 version of mame, as of 08/30/2007 and am using it with  mamewahs newest version. 

Let me know if you get this fixed and what you did,  or if anyone knows the answer to my problem and its not the same as his post as well!  THANKS!!!!!!
