How to use 2 AimTrak lightgun !

[Seb02]

Hello

As I was realy satisfied with my brand new Aimtrak that I decided to buy another one (specialy playing virtua cop with model2 emulator).

I've just received the second done calibration it works as the first one but I can't find how to configure the second lightgun within the emulator.

I've set the gun as à second mouth.

If any body could help me

One coment it is probably a question of how to get two separate mices within my windows 7.

Are you running an ipac or any similar devices for handling your control panel or other devices?

Only Tankstick and 2 Aimtrak lightguns all plugged on USB.

I don't have an Aimtrak, but from what I've read, you can set it up as a joystick or a mouse. If you use it in mouse mode, you need to tell MAME that it's a mouse. If you have 2 guns, Win7 should have no problem letting you use both (even WinXP allowed multiple inputs, but I don't think it kept them separate). In MAME, make sure you turn on the multiple mouse option.

Alternately, you could choose to tell MAME to use the guns as "lightguns". The primary difference if I remember correctly is that mouse will continuously track the location of gun(s) while lightgun will only poll the location when the trigger is pulled.

The other choice is to set the guns up as joysticks. I have no experience with this approach, so you'll have to ask others about this setting.

In fact I don't have any issues regarding Mame config it works.

My probleme is only with model 2 emulators based on Nebula.

Is Mame can run Virtua Cop 1/2 House of dead in fact all big SEGA schooters ?

Seb - I would check the mame dev site as I believe they have a list of compatible games that will run through MAME.

If anyone knows how to contact Model2 emulator dev team.

I've just read that it's just a question of relative or absolut mice X/Y management that is well adapted within Mame but not within M2.

There's no way to use two guns in Model2 at the moment. AFAIK, you can use one gun, but the other control has to be a keyboard. This has been discussed in several recent topics at BYOAC forums.

You can contact them here . Doesn't look like much has been done with the emu since 12/31/2010 so not sure if you will get far, but guess it is worth a try. You might try perusing their forum to see if this has been discussed and if any work has been done in that regard.

Many thanks

But do we have any chance to get these SEGA games run under MAME dev team is better involved (I mean Virtua Cop HOD 1,2,3,) ?

*shrug* Seems that more focus has been on adding ROMs for mechanical games as of late, but cannot answer for the devs. Current status can be found here.
