MAME and Dual TV Lightguns.
Well, I finally gave in and downloaded the latest MAME source code, and set up a build environment, etc...
I have good news, and better news.
The good news is that MAME has not dropped support for dual lightguns. It's just a bug in the more recent code that causes MAME to ignore the second gun in Windows XP (I think it might still work in Windows 98). But aside from that one bug, the rest of the code required to handle dual guns is all still there.
The better news is that I've fixed the bug and submitted my fix to the MAME team. I don't know if they'll accept my fix, or when it will be merged into the core. But it's on its way. If all goes well, the dual TV lightguns will work again in future releases.
I'll keep you posted.

It seems mame has simply dropped support for the act labs TV guns. Is
it even possible to make thetroubleshooter support mame, at least so us
TV gun users didn't waste our money buying two guns??
I paid almost $300.00 for my pair (Yeah, I know act labs is making them
again) on ebay and only one works with any remotly recient version of
mame.
I know you would be the savior to tons of mame cabinet owners that got
suckered in to buying 2 tv guns..
Thanks in advance,
Jeremy
