Lightgun Mame help Pup a lease! So frustrated!

[Jefferrari]

I have the gun calibrated to my pc and it works fine as a mouse, I changed the mame.ini file lightgun to 1 and all that...followed the guide on the aimtrak site for setting it up, but I load up a game, and press tab while the games running. go to player 1 controls and all that and I cant change my guns axis and it doesnt even recognize when I press a button on the gun, yet in the tab menu I can basically scroll through the menu using the gun, but not press any buttons

download mameuifx (more easy), go to options and change the controls for lightgun devices to lightgun

This is a great bit of advice, I had exactly the same issues when setting up my dual act labs guns originally. It turned out that only certain versions of mame would work and correctly and see the guns as lightguns and map to GunX , GunY etc. Download this version of mame as in the advice and you should be good to go.

Ok so heres the deal....I set it all up using mameui now, but in a game like time crisis...im trying to set up one button for the foot pedal and one button for the gun firing, but they both map as the same button when I try mapping them....for example the trigger is button 0 and the button on the side of the gun shows up as button 0 aswell....any help? and does anyone know about pcsx lightgun how to get rid of the mouse cursor when using it...i set it to hidden but still shows up when you play

[Jefferrari]

Anyone have any info? trigger and left button both show up as button 0 on the gun

What kind of lightgun do you have? In the Aimtrak software you can set up the buttons.

[Jefferrari]

I have the aimtrak light gun, but somewhat confused on how to configure the buttons on it...please tell me you know how to use not only the trigger button but the side buttons aswell lol

[alcoatjez]

In the Aimtrak software you have to set the buttons on this screen:
