      Hi sorry, for the noob question....

      I've installed my retropie 4.3 - 2 weeks ago, re-updated yesterday.
      I'm trying to play light gun games (terminator 2, lethal enforcers...) with a mouse, they all seem to run only on l.r.mame 2010 only, so that's how I run them.

      The mouse is not working in any game (its working on dos and hatari emulators though).

      Its a dongle wireless mouse (same thing with keyboard), I have a wired snes type gamepad plugged in.

      I've been in the quick retro arch menu to enable mouse, in the emulator it seems that the lightun is set to mouse x-y too, but its not recognized during calibration, it seems that its still the keyboard/joypad arrows that control the aiming...

      Would you have a suggestion?

      Thx

        @james62 try updating the lr-mame2010 package via source. if that doesn't work, then it looks like it doesn't support mice in those (any?) games.

          Oh actually I did a mistake...
          For some reasons, I thought all mames were the same emulators and used a shared folders for roms (like genesis).
          So mame4all wasn't showing up since there was no rom in...

          I put the shooting games in the mame4all folder, now I have 2 mame menus on retropie.

          The mouse is working with this games on Mame4all.
