MAME - USB Mouse works fine, but Aimtrak gun does not
-
@caver01 The USB mouse works fine. But when I swap out for the Aimtrak it isn't picked up. I will double-check the configuration.

@caver01 AimTrak works correctly with Advmame 1.4. The .rc file is as follows:
device_mouse raw
device_raw_firstkeyhack no
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
device_raw_mousetype[0] ps2
device_raw_mousetype[1] ps2
device_raw_mousetype[2] ps2
device_raw_mousetype[3] ps2

@brenthunter2005 yesterday, RetroArch added support for light guns in the same category as the AimTrak. I've tested this new functionality with a Dolphinbar/Wiimote and it works great.
Since I don't have an Aimtrak gun I'm hoping someone who does will be willing to rebuild RetroArch from source and try out the new feature. Any chance you have one and would be willing to give it a try?

@markwkidd Hello, sorry for my delay. I'll be trying this later this weekend and will let you know how I get on. Thank you!

@markwkidd Sorry mate, I'm not going to be able to test this. I turned on my cabinet this morning and the Aimtrak arcade gun started smoking! I think the solenoid/recoil is broken, so I'm in contact with Ultimarc to investigate further...

Oh my. Good luck!

Ok, I'm ready to start testing this. Are the updates you refer to now included as part of RetroArch, or will I still need to rebuild from source?

Great!
RetroArch 1.6.9 and 1.7.0 should both have the new functionality. Ideally you would use 1.7.0 for the testing because the new lightgun API is still undergoing periodic tweaks.

@markwkidd I feel that I'm started again from scratch with this aimtrak gun. It won't calibrate properly using "gunconf" and everything is upside down (when I move the gun down, the cursor on the screen goes up!).
Let me review my configuration.. -

Maybe that it is because you hold your gun sideways, gangsta style! ;-)
