I Emailed Andy regarding this, however, he says the ID is fixed and this is a MAME issue?...
Basically, every time I unplug the AimTrak, reboot PC and plug AimTrak back in again the gun ID changes in MAME (Gun 2, Gun 3, Gun 4 etc.)
Obviously this is a pain in the backside, as I have to reconfigure MAME and all of the light gun games.
I tried making the .cfg folder & files in MAME read only, however, this makes no difference.
Does anyone know how to fix this issue please? ???
Thanks

Have you looked at drventure's ControllerRemap for Mame (http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,108767.msg1154628.html#msg1154628) utility?
MacGyver says he got his Aimtraks working here (http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,108767.msg1173846.html#msg1173846) in the same thread.

Only problem is that it looks as though you have to run this before starting MAME or frontend. I guess a shortcut in the startup folder would work? Unless it's not quite that simple?
*Edit* Sigh... just read the .pdf that comes with the .exe and it looks a little complicated. Looks like I'll probably just leave the AimTrak connected.

Not sure if this will help you but I've had better luck using ID's 3 and 4 for my AimTraks. If you've only ever tried 1 and 2 maybe try 3 and 4. Mine shows up in MAME as Guns 7 and 8 and they 'stick' between plugging and unplugging.

That sounds like a winner. I bet MAME assigns 1 and 2 to more common devices.
