@backstander Never has purple been so perfectly personified.

@MrLightgun i have a couple of the rock band pedals lying around myself. I used to repair video game consoles and laptops for a living and i would use the pedals as a part of making controllers for handicapped people.

@BGallagherLA hello do you have a list of the lightgun games for advanced name?

I updated the core and it still doesn't work. Nestopia and AdvMame all work great for me with no calibration/tweaking needed. Just plug and play. Nothing works on Genesis Plus for me, re: light guns.

@mitu Just stumbled over this thread because I am a proud owner of two Aimtrak lightguns since last saturday, and I'm searching for any information about their setup. :) Following the links from the video's description, I found the github page of the script in question: https://github.com/Shakz76/Eazy-Hax-RetroPie-Toolkit/ It seems like it modifies an existing Retropie installation and adds some functionality the author deemed to be useful. I didn't dive deeper into it, because I prefer to use Retropie's own tools as long as they get the job done as well. Getting my Aimtraks to work with any kind of MAME is my next goal, but at present I can't help much further.

@dankcushions I did try with MAME2003plus and Operation thunderbolt and the issue persisted, don't know if other games are fixed.

@mediamogul i havent seen his video but yes most emulators that use mice work. Dosbox works too for lightgun games

@punchout the error is pretty self-explanatory, you seem to have something called "RetroArch" in your home directory already (could be a file or directory). Once you resolve that problem, the file mentioned is located in /home/pi/RetroArch/input/drivers/udev_input.c

@caver01 @mediamogul cancel that, right after a reboot , it works!... I cant thank you guys enough. Awesome Help!

Look for the .rc file at /opt/retropie/configs/mame-advmame But be careful. Changing the .rc file is tricky and a can result in a failure to boot into advmame.

@illando said in Multiple mice support in RetroArch cores (lightguns, spinners, trackballs): Not a real fix but I solved pressing "f" and "g" keyboard keys, placing the player2 crosshair in the bottom right corner. :) Not a real fix, but an incredible simulation. ;) I can confirm 'Point Blank' refused to launch on AdvanceMAME 3.6 but it works using AdvanceMAME 1.4 core. Ah, good to know.

@mediamogul Have fun, and let me know what you find out. I'll put a couple of bucks onto a bounty if it takes one more to get this smoothed out across the cores.

@gunpadawan Now it's throwing this error: pi@retropie:~/gunconf $ python setup.py install running install error: can't create or remove files in install directory The following error occurred while trying to add or remove files in the installation directory: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/test-easy-install-1018.write-test' The installation directory you specified (via --install-dir, --prefix, or the distutils default setting) was: /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ Perhaps your account does not have write access to this directory?

@mdg33 That's great to hear! Please keep us updated.
