Hi BYOAC'ers,
Long time reader, medium time builder, first post.
Ok, so I got a set of the AimTrak equipped Arcadeguns and so far they are working with MAME really well and I have no big issues there. Since most of the other systems only had limited support for light gun games (and even fewer were worth playing and taking the time to set up), the only other system that I was really interested in getting them for on my arcade cabinet is the original Playstation. I have been using ePSXe with my cabinet for some time now and overall I am happy with it for most games but I tried using the F5 switch into GunCon mode and the cursor was all over the place (unlike in MAME and the Windows desktop which tracks very well after calibrating). I saw others post about PCSX and PCSX Reloaded with the Nuvee light gun plugin with some helpful links, but this was about as far as I could get. I downloaded PCSX and what I think is the most recent Nuvee plugins (10-21-11), but the plugins have tons of folders and stuff in them that doesn't make sense. I know that the plugin files are dll's that I need to drag and drop into the plugins folder, but I must be missing something because after sifting through everything (tons of txt files, etc.) there was only one or two dll files to be moved and these (although selectable from the emulator) and nothing seemed to enable lightgun or mouse controls after firing up a gun game iso. If anyone has gotten this to work or knows where to find a tutorial (web page or YouTube video) I would be really grateful so that I can play some awesome GunCon games. Thanks.

Well before anyone starts at the very beginning, I figured out that which plugin to get into the folder and it seems to acknowledge that I am using a light gun since the cursor tracks inside the game. I was able to play Point Blank 3 and it worked pretty well but I've been having issues with other GunCon games with different issues. Time Crisis Project Titan the trigger was mapped to come out of cover but there was no button for shooting then. Elemental Gearbolt worked briefly as Player 2. The controls seem to be strange and incorrect for most games and in the config menu of the emulator there are options for Right, Middle and Left with Defaults of Trigger, A, and B. I assume they mean the buttons on the right and left and therefore middle must be trigger? Does anyone know how to better configure controls to an AimTrak to play games like Time Crisis that use multiple buttons. I think my brief success with PB3 was just because it's a one-button game. Thanks.
