setup 2 aimtrak light guns issues with mame
pfabbro:
Hi everyone,
I have a small issue with my Aimtrak light guns both guns are being detected by MAME as player 1. Both guns are functioning perfectly in windows and they are assigned different ids in the Aimtrak software.
I have read on some other posts that one of the main reasons this is happening is because MAME's not using DirectInput in RAW mode.
Does the version of MAME on their website have DirectInput in RAW mode enabled by default? or do I need to recompile MAME with this feature enabled?
Thanks everyone really appreciate it!

Does enabling multimouse in mame.ini help at all?

Hi, Just seen your message. This is taken from the aimtrak setup guide
To enable the AimTrak Light Gun(s) in MAME, edit the following lines in your mame.ini file as shown (these are the lines that apply to the Light Gun configuration):
#
# CORE INPUT OPTIONS
#
joystick 1
lightgun 1
offscreen_reload 1
so once you have created the Mame.ini just edit the above lines and you should be able to setup the lightguns as p1 and p2

Thanks for all the information everyone. The version of MAME that I was trying to use was compiled by someone else and after trying a fresh install of MAME everything seem to work. With a fresh install of MAME I tried the suggestions and everything is working great!! I tried a couple of games and everything seems to be running fine now.
I was actually thinking about compiling MAME 0.149. Is this hard to do? I want the games to load with out warnings and able to save hi-scores.
Thanks everyone I really appreciate your time and help. :)
