LCD/EMS TopGun - 2 Player In MAME
IgnoranceIsBliss:
I'll detail what I've done...
* Ensured that the EMS drivers are uninstalled both by actually running the uninstaller and also by removing the .INF files from the c:\Winnt\System32 directory.
* Tested both guns - they do not influence the mouse
* Installed SM0G's GunCon2 drivers (NOTE: The Flasher program crashes on my PC due to a missing function in User32.dll - I'm assuming this is an XP, Win9x or Service Pack compatibility problem)
* Connected my guns
* Both guns register as Guncon2 controllers, and each provides a HID Interface Device for a mouse pointer.
* Moving both guns now controls the mouse cursor
* I open the GunCon2Mouse control panel - there are no entries in the list for either of my guns, which I find a little odd. Close the control panel again.
* I turn mouse input ON and multimouse ON in MAME, then run the Police Trainer ROM.
* I press 'Tab' to bring up the options, go to Player 2 Controls, and attempt to set "button 1" for player 2 by pressing the trigger on one of my guns. It registers a click from MOUSE 1.
* I try remapping the control using the trigger of the OTHER gun. It registers the click as MOUSE 1.
* I try using the physical mouse to remap the control - it registers as MOUSE 1.
The same problem occurs with the different axes of motion. It always sees it as coming from mouse ONE, not mouse TWO or THREE, which I would have expected.
Note that when I run MAME with the -verbose flag, both guns appear as "Shared Axis Lightgun" #1 and #2.

Try reinstalling the smog drivers, then check in the guncon2pc control panel. they should show up as id1 and id2 in there. I'm probably not going to be much help because I run either mame32ui or mame32uifx.
I've heard of problems of the ems drivers causing problems, even after being installed. Check the registry and see if anything's left.
Maybe http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=48982.1640 will help too?

Oh, I'm happy to switch to MameUI or MameUIFX if it gets the darn games working properly, but I also have tried in those versions of MAME without much success.
I think high up on my list of "problems" may be the issue of the guns not appearing in the Guncon2PC control panel.
I've already re-installed the drivers a couple of times.
One of the reasons I started a seperate thread was the sheer amount of content in that LCD Topgun thread. I thought it may be better to get a thread running that is specific to the two-player issue. It's difficult to read up on a specific issue on the topgun thread due to the amount of other conversations and queries coming up on it.
