Anyone using 2 light guns with M2 Emulator?
nickynooch:
I got House of the Dead, Virtua Cop 1, and Virtua Cop 2 working like a champ.
However, I couldn't get Rail Chase 2, Behind Enemy Lines, or Gunblade NY configured properly with the actlabs gun. Any ideas?
Are those games working for you guys with the guns?
I have a feeling it's not going to work due to the guns being like the image below and not handguns style.

Yep, you got it. As with most games where you are meant to keep the trigger pulled in and spray bullets, they weren't really light gun games.
If you were able to get the dual mice working in M2, AIM-Trak guns would probably work since they track the gun constantly, not just the instant you pull the trigger.
Those other games can be played with joysticks, but it's just not the same.
I've thought about trying to make a "joystick" gun setup, but I have too many projects already.

Thanks! It's not that I care much on having those 3 games. I was just curious anyway.
Stoked to have HOTD, Virtua Cop 1 and 2 working in model2 with my actlabs guns!!!! Thanks for all the help!
Now my next task is in the works, NES and SNES games with my actlabs guns.
I am VERY, VERY happy to have guns on my cab. So much fun.

It is possible to get the act labs guns working in some of the "joystick" gun games, but I decided it wasn't worth it.
From ACT-Labs website http://www.act-labs.com/gun_gamelisting.htm:
(This is an old page. Newer pages just say the game isn't a real light gun game & isn't supported)
Terminator 2 - will not work for Windows 98SE
- press "1" to reach calibration screen
- press "TAB" key and choose "Input (General)" and press "Enter" key
- find the keyboard controls for Up/Down/Left/Right and Button 1 for Players 1-2
- for Player 1, move the cursor, using keyboard, as close to position x=0, y=0 then press Button 1
- move the cusor as close to position x=128, y=128 then press Button 1
- then move cursor as close to position x=255, y=255 and press Button 1
- repeat for Player 2 and you will see "Calibratin Successful" screen
- when title screen appears, calibrate the light gun as you normally would
- now you are ready to play the game as Player 1
I did this when I first got a light gun, but as I said before, you are meant to spray bullets in these games and a true light gun just doesn't work for that (if you hold the trigger in, all shots will go to the spot that registered when you first pulled the trigger). Your trigger finger will get tired very fast and you won't get very far in the game. :-\

I got Terminator, Revolution X and some other game like that (I think, forgetting off the top of my head) running great on my cab. However, as far as Model 2 emulator goes, I'm sure it's a no go on those type of games.
