Trackball and Lightgun working in Mame but not Hyperspin
Sal posted a topic in Cabinets and Projects
Hi everyone, These forums have been great and I am getting into final steps of my machine setup. Couldnt have done it without you. Here is my roadblock..... I have an aimtrak lightgun and a utrak trackball both running via Mame. Games like golden tee and area 51 work great when launched straight from mame. Once I open the same games via hyperspin nothing works. The lightgun will still work in Nestopia so I know its close, but I am not sure what I have configured wrong. Does this have something to do with me using a keyboard encoder? -
Hello all, As I recently finished my Street Fighter 2 themed bartop which runs Hyperspin, I decided to share some materials with you The whole construction story is on my blog for those that are interested : https://www.bluemind.org/homemade-bartop-retrogaming/ Here are some photos of the finished product:

Hi guys! I recently finished my newest project and thought I would share it. If I can figure out how to upload photos here I will do that too. As with most MAME projects, the majority of the time is in the software. We had a difficult time getting both guns to work in MAME, and after pulling our hair out for a couple of days we found a thread mentioning that dual light gun support is broken in the newest version. We got an older version and BOOM. There is still some software work a head. I have not tried to tackle dual light guns in M2. I may not bother. I used the Ultimarc AimTrak guns. They had the best reviews in my research. They function very well. While it is impossible to get them optimized perfectly for every game, after some long hours in the individual game calibrations, I have the happiest medium I think I will find. Some games work much better (and more accurately) than others. For example the hunting games are dead center at the middle of the screen, but end up about 2" off at the sides. I don't know if there is anyway to correct for that. Also some games play better at different distances. Overall, I am very please with it. There are probably a handful of games that play terrific, and the rest have their issues. We used 2 nanoLED USB controllers and LEDBlinky to automate. The holsters are 3D printed. The original speakers are being used along with a super cheap 5W amp and a 100W yamaha subwoofer. We used a Windows 7 PC. I hate the load times, but sadly the aimtraks only work with windows.

I Don't know why some of the photos are rotated :/

Hello all; I am having trouble getting MAME to recognize my light gun. I am able to calibrate the gun through Windows. I made all the necessary changes to the MAME.INI file, and I went to MAME options to make sure I have "Lightgun" chosen and not mouse(basically I followed the instructions listed on Ultimarc's website). The problem I'm having is MAME is still not recognizing my gun during game play. The mouse and controller is still being recognized even though I have the Player Control 1 configured for Lightgun X Analog & Lightgun Y Analog to read Gun1 X or Joypad1 or mouse 1. What am I missing? What should I check? Has anybody else have this issue? I know this issue is complicated but I appreciate any help with this. Thanks!

I ordered a leapmotion today and wanna build it in my cabinet for mame shooters instead of an arcade gun. Does somebody already tried this controller with mame gun games? I like to hide it under my screenglass for just a quick mame shooter with an invisible lightgun and controlling the mouse with it and maybe trackball games. http://goo.gl/Of7QYP

Hey guys.... I recently published a blog post on this subject step by step including a youtube video and HyperSpin integration. It was a royal pain to get going. Hope this helps some of you out in deciding to get guns or getting them working. For those experts, if you could take a look and let me know if I am missing anything. http://gameroomsolutions.com/setup-dual-aimtrak-light-guns-pc-house-dead-1-2-3mame/. Also feel free to use coupon code "hyperspin" for a discount if you need some arcade parts. Thanks, Ryan GameRoomSolutions.com -
hello fellow builders! well my story goes like this: i always wanted to build a gun arcade and not like the standard upright cabinet size one, but the really giant ones like time crisis two player or ghost squad size. so i got my hands on a broken Gunman wars arcade and started from there, now i have a 50 inch plasma which fits perfect inside, 2 modified terminator machine guns (the rail guns) and two lightguns from Arcadeguns.com. the pc i am going to leave for last because i want to build a powerful gaming computer and because the longer i wait the cheaper the parts get, but i want to get started on the cabinet. so here is my reason for posting this: here is some concept art and please critic the hell out of it (no trolls please) and maybe i can get some even better ideas. thanks!
