Ultimarc AimTrak / MAME ID Problem (Keeps Changing)

(1/1)

mrdriver:
I Emailed Andy regarding this, however, he says the ID is fixed and this is a MAME issue?...

Basically, every time I unplug the AimTrak, reboot PC and plug AimTrak back in again the gun ID changes in MAME (Gun 2, Gun 3, Gun 4 etc.)

Obviously this is a pain in the backside, as I have to reconfigure MAME and all of the light gun games.

I tried making the .cfg folder & files in MAME read only, however, this makes no difference.

Does anyone know how to fix this issue please?  ???

Thanks

PL1:
Have you looked at drventure's ControllerRemap for Mame utility?

MacGyver says he got his Aimtraks working here in the same thread.

Only problem is that it looks as though you have to run this before starting MAME or frontend. I guess a shortcut in the startup folder would work? Unless it's not quite that simple?

*Edit* Sigh... just read the .pdf that comes with the .exe and it looks a little complicated. Looks like I'll probably just leave the AimTrak connected.

Not sure if this will help you but I've had better luck using ID's 3 and 4 for my AimTraks. If you've only ever tried 1 and 2 maybe try 3 and 4. Mine shows up in MAME as Guns 7 and 8 and they 'stick' between plugging and unplugging.

That sounds like a winner. I bet MAME assigns 1 and 2 to more common devices.
