AIMTRAK Lightgun - Incorrect movements
« on: September 13, 2015, 03:09:33 pm »
Hello,

Just setup a AIMTRAK Lightgun to my MAME cabinet.
Because the Gun didnīt work properly I decided to install the calibration utility and figured out that all the movements are vice versa.
When I move the gun to the right the red dot move to the left, when I move it up the red dot move down......

Anybody an idea what wrong or which settings needs to be changed?

many thanks
Chimera

Thats normal for the utility, it will see the gun from its perspective thus everything will be flipped. The direction is flipped as you go from up/down left/right.

You don't need to change a setting for that...it is functioning as it should.

Yep, that happens in the utility and freaked me out at first too. When you go into MAME, it should be fine after you setup the lightgun in the controls
