I am being told that RetroArch is not really good for Lightgun Emulation, at least for the RS3 Reaper. I am going to try to use RetroBat instead for those games and see if that resolves the issue.

It works as a Mouse/Keyboard when set in Mouse mode the cursor on the screen moves but doesn't seem to register in RetroArch. I finally got it to at least register the buttons and triggers on the gun in RetroArch and was able to map controls. It wasn't Controller Input I needed to go into, but RetroPad Binds. That at least let me set it to the Lightgun, registers Trigger button, Reload button, set the Start and Select. However, when in the game, it still doesn't respond. It seems my Joystick is buttons are still mapped or take priority. I did try duplicating my RetroArch directory, creating a new Emulator called RetroArch Lightgun, so I could set the primary controller as the default, but so far, I'm still having an issue.

I have a Retro Arcade Cabinet build with a Win11 PC running Lauchbox. Emulators are working, RetroArch and Mame. I am now trying to sort out my controllers. I have 2 Joysticks basically 8 button for the arcade, 2 XBox controllers and 2 Lightguns. I have not added a trackball yet but probably will in the future. In Mame I've mostly figured out and gotten the Joysticks to work with the Joystick games, lightguns to work with the Lightgun games. I am having an issue with the RetroArch games with the Lightgun. The Joysticks work fine, but I can't seem to figure out how to map the Lightguns. I tried setting Input 3 and 4 for Lightgun. I can see the mouse cusor move with the gun, some of the buttons work but the trigger and buttons on the gun don't seem map. When its in Lightgun, I don't seem to see the controller options to map Trigger etc like I do when its set to Joystick.

I tried following the video three times, the first time was with an install that was Mame was working. The second and third attempts were with a fresh installs. Everything looked correct and matched but the Roms would never launch. In troubleshooting the screen would flash black, according to the errors it could never find the path to the ROMs themselves. There might be differences due to the version of Launchbox/Mame vs when it was originally recorded. Launchbox: 13.26 Mame: 0.287 When I followed the part of going into Tools -> File Management -> Change ROMs Folder Path for Selected Games. It did not seem to actually update the path to the ROMs or there was an issue with Mame installation. From what I can tell comparing to how I got it to work vs the instructions, if I installed Mame as in the video it seems the following was missing from the Default Command Line Parameters "-rompath %romlocation%". The way I got it to work was to install the ROMs first with Tools -> Mame Arcade Full Set, go through the process pointing to my non-merged directory, and letting Launchbox install and configure Mame itself. Verified that everything was working, then exited Launchbox. Now I could copy over the images, cfg, and nvram files. Per your previous comments from your videos, since I already imported, I did not use the XML for the Arcade or Playlists. Started up Launchbox, and now I was good to go.
