Hiya
Can anyone tell me what changes are needed in the RC file. ive been tryin to get my gun working in ADVmame for last few days ive not been having much luck.

It has been so long since I set up my Aimtrak I can’t remember, but I’m sure there is a post on this forum that will tell you if you search for it (I think that was how I found out).
When I’m back later I’ll also post the contents of my .rc file in case it’s useful

thank you in advance
-
No problem. I’ve been delayed so may not get a chance to post the .RC until tomorrow morning

device_raw_mousedev[0] /dev/input/mouse0
device_raw_mousedev[1] /dev/input/mouse1
device_raw_mousedev[2] /dev/input/mouse2
device_raw_mousedev[3] /dev/input/mouse3

im one step closer. the cursors are popping up now but when i move the gun its jumping all over the place. :( anyone got any ideas

Can you enter the MAME menu (you normally press tab on the keyboard to get into it)?
If so I believe one of the options allows you to turn down the sensitivity of the gun movement.
I think you can set the sensitivity from 1 - 100. I have set mine at 25. I think you need to set sensitivity settings for both the X and Y axis.

Hi. I agree that sometimes taking a step back can help.
I don't know what you have referred to in the past, or what guides you have read, so I post this in case its helpful.
The Retropie Docs offer some good guidance (link below), the bits on testing mouse inputs and determining mice index numbers might help.

Have you installed the gunconf utility? It could be the gun calibration that is the issue. this also lets you test the gun.

This thread (link below) has a whole load on informaton that is related to the issues you have had. I have provided part of the thread below which specifically mentions the sensativity issues.
I hope that helps, and I can try and answers questions if I can
