Question for those with the EMS topgun in an arcade cab
acro-ii:
I am running .115 (i think, maybe .116) and smog's guncom2 drivers. The trigger and other buttons work correctly once setup in mame as mouse 3 on my setup.
I had a HE*L of a time getting it to register at all with my trackball and spinner connected too. Then someone said to use smog's drivers instead of the EMS drivers, and walla!

FWIW, I used to have the Act Labs lightguns setup and I thought they were excellent (not sure what negative press you read on them). My only complaint was the annoying flashing of the screen when you shoot. I had to get rid of them when I went to an arcade monitor. I was going to get the LCD Topguns, but standing 6 feet away from a standard upright arcade cabinet is totally ridiculous to me. Here are some old gun cabinets for perspective:

Do you have
lightgun_device lightgun
set in your mame.ini? I was told that setting that is also the sets lightgun 1 by default. I had some problems once I switched to 118 but they are working great now. Also don't set dual_lightgun 1 that was one of my problems that is only needed for older act lab guns.
