Ok, so besides having this problem http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=110468.0 now my guns wont register in mame at all. In an effort to fix the random mouse id assignment problem i was testing out a few things and now my guns will not register in mame. As in -> goto tab/player1/ lightgun x setup...nothing, it wont register my movement as i pass then gun across the screen..at all. I've set the guns up a few times because of the above linked problem so i know i'm doing it right. I've restarted my pc a few times, used the aimtrak software to calibrate, and the guns work fine as mouse pointers on the desktop, just not in mame. I'm stumped here. I'm using mameui64 and in the controller mapping i have Paddle, ADStick, Pedal, and Positional all set to keyboard. Mouse, Dial, Trackball, set to mouse. And lightgun set to lightgun. I know this is a user error as i have had them working easily enough before but i must have changed something.
Thanks
Bill

I'm really pulling my hair out (not that i have any  ;)) . I downloaded a new copy of mameui64. Placed it on the desktop. Opened it up, pointed it to my roms and started a shooter (carnevil). Now here is the weird part;  I pressed tab, general settings, player one settings, scrolled down to lightgun x to try and set up the aimtrak gun only to find my settings from the regular mame folder are already here  :cry: again i try to get the x and y to register...nothing. The guns work perfect on the desktop, model 2 emulator, nestopia, ect. I just cant get them working again in mame.  :banghead: I reinstalled the 1.6 firmware too, didnt help. Please, if anyone has any ideas i'm open to hear them.
Thanks
Bill

try a different game, carnevil requires special settings

If you check out this guide for the aimtrak guns you can figure out all the setup info for light gun games in mame.

You might want to start with a straightforward game like point blank. I don't think you have to do any setting stuff for the guns to work in that game.

http://www.ultimarc.com/AimTrak%20Setup%20Guide.pdf the game specific settings start on pg 17

Thanks

I had a very similar thing happen to me yesterday.  I finally got my Aimtrak installed in an airsoft gun, had it working in Mame then after some messing around - same thing, stopped registering in Mame but still worked in Windows.  Finally rechecked the Mame.ini file and found that the file had been overwritten somehow and I had to re enter the aimtrak setup variables.  After that, works fine again.
