I'd be willing to assist in any way with testing multiple mice code on WinXP.  I might could look at writing some routines as well, however I'm rusty at Windows code, as I've been in the Web/Java world for 7+ years now.  I'd probably need to be pointed to some sample code to start.

I have two machines at home with XP on them (one in my cabinet), and my cabinet has a trackball, spinner, and standard mouse attached to it.  So even without two lightguns, I could still test some multiple mice code on XP.

I'll left you know if I get to the point of needing testers.  

FWIW, I'm just starting to try to compile some basic XP rawinput stuff, but having problems trying to use MS headers on gcc (the gcc headers used in mame don't have the winXP rawinput stuff).  :(

Unfortunately, I still can't get the gun working correctly with my ArcadeVGA card.  >:(

urebel,
Thanks for helping me out a few months ago with that multi-mouse code. I was able to successfully get two independant cursor on the screen at the same time in Windows XP. I'm more than willing to share the source code and all the details. I really hope you'll be able to integrate it easily into Analog. I'll send you some source code later for MSVC.

I've been looking at the XP rawmouse stuff recently, too...  I'm going to start a new thread in the software forum for programmers to discuss.  It came up in another thread - I didn't even know you guys were talking about it over here!

PS - keep the reviews coming.  They are great!
