Could you test with mouse enabled, lightgun disabled, and your mouse, spinner & lightgun plugged in?  And report if works?  Hmm, I could be confusing reload_offscreen option with your problem.  Could you also try the reload_offscreen option on and off, with & without the spinner, please?

I tried it with mouse enabled, lightgun disable + spinner, trackball & lightgun -- it didn't work.  I tried turning on/off reload_offscreen, enabling/disabling the mouse input and could not get it to work.  The only way is to unplug the spinner.  I did discover that my trackball works for lightgun 1 and the spinner for lightgun 2.  Given that, you would think I would need to unplug the trackball, instead of the light gun.

tells you what devices MAME finds connected and their numbers.

I tried that and it didn't help because I hadn't setup my config file for MAME (I normally run MAME32) and all the inputs were defaulted as off.  Then I generated a config file and set:
     mouse      1
     joystick     1
     lightgun    1
     offscreen_reload 1

When I ran MAME, the lightgun worked! :applaud:  In fact, I could control it with the mouse or the lightgun.  I went to the MAME32 directory to find a similar .ini file, but it did not contain these type of settings.  Also, the game I picked (Area51) had the video messed up along with the sound.  I guess this is why I run MAME32, because it was easier to set up. 

I would think if this works with MAME, then it should work with MAME32.
