Title: Need lightgun (EMS topgun2) help with Mame and Mala
Post by: Garetmax on May 07, 2011, 08:38:01 pm
Hi,
I've got 2 of the EMS Topgun lightguns setup but am having one issue.

My issue is only on games that have a 2nd button needed for reloading like Carnevil or Cryptkiller.  The other lightgun games like Area51 and Lethal Enforcers are working great including offscreen reloading.

I can't map the 2nd button correctly or any other buttons except button 1 in the Mame config - Input-General and then player one controls.

I've got button 1 mapped as "Gun 5 BO" for the player one and button 1 as "Gun 6 BO" for player two.

If I try to map any other buttons they just show up as the same "Gun 5 BO" for any player one buttons and "Gun 6 BO" for any player 2 buttons.

Here's my Mame ini settings.
#
# CORE INPUT OPTIONS
#
coin_lockout              1
# ctrlr                 <NULL> (not set)
mouse                   1
joystick                1
lightgun                1
multikeyboard             0
multimouse                1
steadykey               0
offscreen_reload        1
joystick_map              auto
joystick_deadzone         0.3
joystick_saturation       0.85
natural                   0

#
# INPUT DEVICE OPTIONS
#
dual_lightgun           0

If I enable the dual lightgun option then when I go to map the lightguns there is no differentiation of lightgun controller as shown as gun 5 or gun 6.  It will just show Gun BO.  However, I can get button 2 or the others to map as Gun B1, Gun B2, etc.  The biggest problem is I can't get offscreen reloading to work this way.  Another problem is that both players then use the same amunition.

Can someone help me on this?  I searched and dont' really see others having this problem and how to fix it. :)


Thanks,
Scott
