Question for those with the EMS topgun in an arcade cab

I am running .115 (i think, maybe .116) and smog's guncom2 drivers.  The trigger and other buttons work correctly once setup in mame as mouse 3 on my setup.

I had a HE*L of a time getting it to register at all with my trackball and spinner connected too.  Then someone said to use smog's drivers instead of the EMS drivers, and walla!

FWIW, I used to have the Act Labs lightguns setup and I thought they were excellent (not sure what negative press you read on them).  My only complaint was the annoying flashing of the screen when you shoot.  I had to get rid of them when I went to an arcade monitor.  I was going to get the LCD Topguns, but standing 6 feet away from a standard upright arcade cabinet is totally ridiculous to me.  Here are some old gun cabinets for perspective:

Do you have

lightgun_device             lightgun

set in your mame.ini?  I was told that setting that is also the sets lightgun  1 by default.  I had some problems once I switched to 118 but they are working great now.  Also don't set dual_lightgun 1 that was one of my problems that is only needed for older act lab guns.
