Mounted gun games with PC light gun.

I picked up a pair of light guns from www.arcadeguns.com and am having trouble using them with mounted gun games such as Terminator 2 and Revolution X. The problem seems to be I cannot assign gun movement to the analog joystick movement therefore, the gun cursor on screen isn’t moving when I move the light gun around. I figured this should be doable since I can get the light gun to move my mouse curser on the Windows desktop and these games play fine for me in MAME with my mouse. Does anyone have any ideas on what I can do to fix this?

The game will automatically ask you to calibrate the guns when you start the game for the first time. Simply put, use your mouse or keyboard to "target" the top left corner when the game asks so. There aren't any visual cues to help this, so you'll have to go by the numerical coordinates that are visible on the screen. The numbers you see are in a simple 8-bit scale going from 0 to 255. To "target" the top left corner, keep moving your mouse until you get P1 X and P1 Y as near to 0 as possible. The middle is located at about 127, 127, and the bottom right corner as close to 255 as possible. Repeat the process for the second player. As for the light gun, the short answer is no. A longer answer is that the game didn't actually have a light gun — it had analog joysticks mounted as guns, and emulating them with a proper light gun is not viable. Try to use mouse control with this game.

I saw videos on Youtube of people playing Terminator 2 with the light guns and they appeared to be pleased with the results so I figured I would give it a try. Like I said before, I can play the games fine with my mouse. I just wanted to know how to go about using the light gun with these games so I can determine for myself my preferred controller method.
Here is a video of someone playing Revolution X. Looks like it works well to me.

Works fine with a light gun. I use the same guns in the video.

Those are the same guns I have. Would mind telling me how you set the X and Y joystick axis to the light gun movement?

Go in the TAB menu and under AD stick X analog and move the light gun left or fight. Do the same for AD Stick Y and move the gun up or down.

That's what I figured I had to do to assign the movement but whenever I try it the menu is unresponsive and the command never get changed.

I did. It didn't seem to make a difference.
