Yeah, it looks like -dual_lightgun (or just "-dual") are the switches for dual lightguns.

Thanks
Popcorrin:
I tried -dual and -dual_lightgun and had no success. When using these command line switches neither gun would work. So I am back to square one.
Is there anyone that has had dual tv guns working that could help me out?
Lilwolf:
I'm assuming that you have both guns running as mouse 1 buttons right? (I thought it was button 1 & 2 for player 1... and 3 & 4 for player 2... but I don't own them)
Anyway. Did you have to make a special purchase for gun 2? Or is it a normal gun setup special?
If its normal. Make sure that they both work normal by themselfs.. Then try it with dual gun. Might be that the second gun is down right dead.

I have two ACT-Labs TV guns working. I enabled lightguns and dual_lightguns in my mame.ini file and everything worked. Make sure you have the slider on the side of the gun on different settings for each gun. I believe the middle slot is player 1 and the slot closest to the barrel is player 2. I'd try it in windows first. Just shoot the desktop and see if the cursor moves. If the cursor moves with both guns, then the guns are working properly and it just a matter of setting up mame.
Just to let you know though, I had to return one of my guns. Whenever I shot one gun, it always registered in the upper left corner. I got an RMA and I had a new gun in less than a week and now both work perfectly.
Popcorrin:
The guns are identical. There is just a switch on the side of the gun where you choose which player you want that gun to be. The tv guns are seen as a 4 button mouse. Player 1 being buttons 0 and 1 and player 2 being buttons 2 and 3. Buttons 0 and 2 are the fire buttons respectively. I can use either gun as player 1 and they both work perfect.
Where I run into a problem is when I try to use the guns in 2 player mode, specifically on area51mx. Player one works fine, but every shot taken with the player 2 gun registers dead center on the screen no matter where you aim on the screen?
