LCD Topgun and mouse HELP!!

(1/3) > >>

elliotrj:
Sorry to bother y'all with yet another LCD Topgun post.
I couldn't find the answer to my problem on any other threads.

I'm using MAME32 and have an EMS LCD Topgun with original EMS driver. It works fine as a player one controller (i.e. as a mouse).
My question is simple: is it possible to run a game with the lightgun as player one but leave the mouse available for player two?

I'd really appreciate any help on this. I feel like I've tried everything. :dunno

(P.S. if the answer to this question is already on here somewhere could you direct me to it :D)
 

brock.sampson:
What version of mame are you using?  Also can you post the contents of your mame.ini file?  Specifically he "CORE INPUT OPTIONS" and "CORE INPUT AUTOMATIC ENABLE OPTIONS" sections.

Have you tried enabling multiple mice?  (If you don't have this option in properties, under controllers tab, what version of mameUI are you using?) 

You might have to remap both players to use the correct gun/mouse.  This works for multiple normal mice in recent versions, but I'm not sure about with the EMS driver.

Hi guys,
I'm using the new MAMEUI32 0.121.

I've tried multiple mice but the issue is getting MAME to recognise the mouse and lightgun as two different mice.
It seems to see them as one and the same.
(i.e. Both control player one, but neither control player two.)

Also, what driver are you guys using? Should i switch?

brock.sampson:
Try setting

CORE INPUT OPTIONS
lightgun                  1
multimouse                1

I know setting lightgun device to lightgun should make that a 1 by default but I like to set it anyway.  I'm using smog's driver I had problems getting the ems drivers to load.  I haven't had any problems with my dual light guns and trackball acting independently.  Have you tried to reset the control settings on a game manually?  It might be worth deleting the cfg file for a gun game and starting fresh.
