Title: aimtrak - reversed cross hairs in mame games
Post by: Zeenon on March 05, 2013, 11:15:52 am
This should be a simple fix, but either I've been working on it far to long and losing my mind or I'm missing a simple switch.

When I received my aimtraks I set them up as device 1/2 and for games like area 51 the cross hair color matched the player (red/left blue right). I then switched them to device 3/4 because I was unplugging them and resetting in MAME. Now no matter what I do, the cross hair does not match the player color (other then that they work fine). It's a little unnerving when you know your red but have to follow the blue crosshair. Same issue in other light gun games also. One would think it's just a matter of hitting F2 and remapping but that does not seem to work. I also went back to device 1/2.

You can change the way they look if you press TAB and go to crosshairs. You should be able to choose from a bunch of them on the list.

On the part where he says "unzip it to your \crsshair " directory, it should be \crosshair
The path is specified in MAME.ini, so it can really be named whatever you want.

You can also make your own.  Just make PNGs of the same size.
There is a set I made in a zip file attached to this post:

(haven't messed with them much in MAME after making them)
