Ok I really hate to bring up this gun in this forum again lol. Actually mind works perfect I love it, that is with .117
.118, windows uses the gun for the mouse etc, in MAME it recognizes the buttons on the gun but will not recognize the X/Y axis of the gun, its as if its not hooked up.
I know they made some gun changes to .118, I have my settings set to what I did for .117 so I know its ready to work, just missing something here...
If its too much hassle Ill go back to .117 but now im curious... Im running MAME32 .118 btw.

I had some issues when I jumped to .118 as well. Can you post the ctrlr section of your mame.ini? This was my original post http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=70063.msg716984#msg716984 when I was having problems with getting them working the same as previous versions of mame.

The way it was explained to me setting lightgun_device to lightgun will by default set lightgun to 1. I found that I needed to set both. So try changing lightgun_device first. If that still doesn't work try lightgun 1. I also have offscreen_reload and multimouse both set to 1.

Ok I will try it out in a few, but what confuses me is these arnt lightguns, its technically a mouse as far as both mame and windows is concerned.. so why wouldnt lightgun be mouse...?
-
In .118 it actually shows up as gun 1 and gun 2 not as gun on mouse 1 as it did in previous versions.
-
Hmm still not getting any results from changing to lightgun or changing lightgun to 1, Recognizes buttons just not Axis when I try to TAB config in mame..
I would just drop back to .117 and forget it but then I will be trapped as this new change will probably continue on with future versions..
This might help
For example when playing area 51
joystick 1 controls the player 1 target, optical mouse controls player one target too.
Joystick 2 controls player 2 target.
This theres anything there of help? Maybe optical mouse is overiding the lcd topgun?
-
Got it going, thanks a lot for the help guys. Always great here.
-
what did you do to fix it?
-
Well I not only had to modify the .ini file but I had to change it for each individual game because I had them manually set to mouse I think?
Also the thing thats happening to me now is my gun is moving both player 1 and 2 targets so I have to change player 2s config in the TAB menu per game, kind of annoying but as long as it works its fine only about 7 of them I play anyway
