The default build one version before the multiple mice upgrade.  I believe the lightgun support is now not working trying to get multi-mice working (this might be wrong... I know doubles don't work)

But there haven't been any new games for a bit... But there where a bunch of fixes for calibration about 5 u versions ago.  So get something recent... but not too recent... u3, u4?  don't remember Derreks first XP raw update.... The one before then.

Well... now you cantry the new version of MAME ->104u7.  ;D

From the whatsnew.txt:

 * Changed Lightgun functionality if using XP.  You no longer need
    to use -lightgun or -dual_lightgun. Use -mouse and multiple (2+)
    "HID-compliant mouse" lightguns will be detected. Lightgun
    support in Win98/Me remains unchanged. -offscreen_reload can
    still be used on Win98/Me/XP. See windows.txt for further info.
