You just need to use -lightgun and -offscreen_reload.  Or set those options to 1 in the .ini.  You should also be able to use -offscreen_reload with  -mouse if not using a lightgun.

The newest Topgun beta driver from TopGun, or Smogs newest driver both work.

You must make sure you have one of the gun buttons mapped as mouse button 2 (right click).  When using the Topgun/Smogs gun control panel, just make sure the button you want to use as reload indicates as button 2, otherwise you need to setup the buttons properly.

Act Lab guns automatically map button 2, so offscreen_reload should not be a problem with it.

Interesting. I have those options enabled in mame.ini. I will now check the topgun driver settings (yes latest beta in use).

I think I have the gun mapped to button 2 - but ZI don't think I have offscreen mapped to button 2 in Topgun. will check

You don't map the button to offscreen in the topgun panel.  Just make sure the button you want to use as reload is set to button 2 and lights up at the bottom display in the panel as button 2 when pressed.

OK checked and mame settings are correct. Gun has button b mapped as Button 2- checked it in the Topgun panel.

So I had a look at the ingame settings using lethal enforcers as the test bed. I cleared a control then pressed button b. Mame sees it as the same button as the trigger- Gun 2 BO!

Getting somewhere here I think. Why is mame seeing button 2 on  the gun the same as button 1?

I've now tested this on another PC using a mouse in both 129 and 130. In both mame sees mouse button 1 (right) and left as Gun BO.  Mame ini settings are lightgun 1, multimouse 1 and offscreen_reload 1 in both machines

I've got further on this. If I physically remove the mouse the guns become gun 1 and gun2 - and reload works. So why when I add a mouse does it all stop working?

AS this is a Gun cab I'm just gonna remove the mouse period- problem resolved but I'm still curious
