Title: EMS Topgun II problems in MAME
Post by: MrDummy on March 26, 2009, 08:21:07 pm
Hello guys.

I have bought two EMS topguns II. It works very well in Windows XP desktop screen.
But when i start the game with Maximus Arcade for example, it's still troublesome.

Mame + Terminator 2 = there is no cursor move with topgun. Only mouse can move it.
ePSXe 1.6 / 1.7 doesn't work, even with Troubleshooter.
Only pSX 1.3 works, but strange enough, only in unstretched windowed mode. When set at fullscreen, it use not whole area. When maximized window, the cursor goes very fast.

In other words, i'm not very happy with so much troubles with Mame and another emulators. I need advice for all Topgun users how to make it possible without crazy cursor movement or nothing.

I followed some advice from HKEMS, but it doesn't help much.

Can you help me? Thank you very much!  :notworthy:

For Terminator 2, you must remap the controls. Terminator 2 uses by default two joystick, as the original arcade cab used two positional guns (2 joysticks). Be sure that lightgun is enabled in mame (lightgun=1).

I have followed instructions. But only my normal mouse can move blue X, but the red X doesn't want move in Terminator 2.

Tested with Mame and Mame32, but both have same problem.
And are you sure with lightgun=1? Another manuals tells more about:
- mouse -multimouse -lightgun -dual_lightgun

And there is also special customized mame, so -lightgun or -dual_lightgun is not needed.

I download some tools (EMS Topgun v3.2) which has Mame32 support.
It's not easy problem, and i have not much clue what's wrong here.

Finally i have worked pointer with lightgun in Mame32.
With Mame i have no result. What is more; the mouse is P1, and lightgun buttons are also P1. That is strange.

Now i need some help to fix psx emulator.
pSX 1.3 -> only windowed works good, full screen mode not 100% screen area for lightgun
ePSXe -> no action with lightgun
