Help with lightgun please
« on: June 28, 2015, 01:51:10 pm »
Hello all

I have a pair of ultimarc Aim-Trak guns alone with a spinner and a trackball on my console. I recently added the two light guns and while I can get them to work in windows once I launch hyperspin and into mame I am unable to get the lightguns to be recognized by mame (1.59 i think ) and set the x and y axis.

I have edited my mame.ini to set lightgun to 1 and I have tried the lightgun to mouse and to lightgun. Any help would be appreciated this is my last piece to get working

thanks in advance

There's a good mame setup guide in the AimTrak documentation.

If you're using more than the two gun usbs - could also be a changing USB number in mame. This should solve that:

Yeah I followed their doc's and that is where I get to not being able to set the x and y axis

Oh. Found it pretty straightforward this end. Mind you - running older version of mame - haven't tried the new-fangled version  - so might have something to do with that?

Also the games play fine using my trackball so its something easy that I am missing its just not recognizing the gun

Well - you'd know if it wasn't recognizing the gun, because it wouldn't show up in the mame controller setup when you track your gun left to right or up and down....

I'd maybe go back to the manual and follow it carefully from page 1?

good luck
