Aimtrak Gun Help
1001mph:
HI there,
Just putting together a MAME system and cabinet and with everything working last minute decided to add a light gun - a lot of reading and good reviews led me to the Ultrimarc Aimtrak gun.
Anyway, I set the gun up in windows (7) and it tracks perfectly in Windows (quite impressively really) but in MAME the aim is way off to the right (cross hairs are to the right of where gun is pointing) it jumps around, gets stuck where it won't go all the way to the top and other times bottom of the screen.
I followed all the instructions (i think) and the only thing different is that where the instructions say in MAME that it should say GUN 3 x, for example mine says Mouse 1 X or Mouse 1 Button 0 but i figured that was just that it was technically a 'mouse'
I'm assuming that with all the good reviews of how great this gun works there's just something i'm missing but I'm pulling my hair out trying to find it!
Any help greatly appreciated!

What game are you trying to play? Did you calibrate in game?
TopJimmyCooks:
a very few mame games and many of the atomiswave/naomi games have in game calibration. check the dip switch menu if it's in mame or the service menu for the sammy games if that's what you're running. If you messed up the calibration in mame you may need to delete the config file for the game so that mame thinks it's being played for the first time. I think terminator 2 may have had one time only calibration???
Wade007:
Make sure youve edited your mame.ini file correctly so MAME knows how to handle the guns, then setup within MAME itself. You SHOULD end up with something like "GUN 3X" and "GUN 3Y" if done correctly. Then they should work.

Thank you - I suspect this is the problem as well but maybe you could help me a bit with the MAME.ini edit.
I'm using Hyperspin as my frontend and MAME UI64 1.50 and it seems with this setup i have a few MAME.ini's - i assumed, perhaps wrongly that I'd have to edit the MAMEUI64's INI file which is named mameui64.ini and is where i inserted the following at the bottom of the file per the Ultrimarc instructions
#
# CORE INPUT OPTIONS
#
joystick 1
lightgun 1
offscreen_reload 1
Is there something else I should be doing? I read the comments to Scott in the youtube video - this seems similar but again, not sure if i'm editing the right mame.ini
Thank you!
