It works in MAME, I'm just having trouble getting a calibration I'm happy with. I'm always close, and always getting closer, to having a perfect calibration, just not quite there.

syph007: I set my aimtrak to device 3 in the aimtrak software. I set lightgun to lightgun in the mame.ini, then in the mame tab menu, I set the X and Y for the lightgun by moving the gun along the X and Y axis. I configured the trigger and other buttons by setting them as off-screen, so that in MAME, it doesn't freak out when you're moving the gun around as you pull the trigger, etc. Then I went back into the aimtrak software and set the trigger, etc back to what they should be.

Also, I only have a 19" CRT PC monitor, so I'm having to work with a smaller screen than most gun games use.

Ah ok I will try that now.  I hooked up my speakers and have been playing HotD2 ... very very fun.  I dunno if 2P woudl work though outside of mame?

Edit: Yes that worked.  I have 2P working now in area 51, one with my gun the other the system mouse, each moving their own cursor.  Pretty cool!!

That is not necessary at all if you have only to change the gun Id if you have more than one. It doesn't matter how many mice you have connected. You only have to change For mame, mouse is one device and gun is another.

Yep. that's the trick. You need to use -lightgun to use lightguns in Mame.

It was necessary for me. I wasn't saying what he should do, but what I DID.

When it was set to Device 1, mine was freaking out. Once I changed it, the problem went away.
