Crosshair defaults in mame are incorrect
08/31/15 11:14 PM


Not sure if anyone even cares, but it really sucks to have to go into every single gun game in mame and reverse the crosshair colors on a per game basis.

Someone can correct me if im wrong, but in every gun game (especially in 2 player gun games) P1 has a red status bar and P2 has a blue status bar but yet in mame the P1 crosshair is blue and the P2 crosshair is red so when you are shooting during the game its confusing when your crosshair is a differnt color on screen from the status bar in the game and its even more so when its a game that shows a "bullet mark" after every shot because then you have a red status bar, a blue crosshair and a red "bullet mark" shown on the screen after every shot. It gets very convoluted when 2 people are playing at the same time.

On my arcade cabinet, I have 2 aimtrak guns, a red one for P1 and a blue one for P2 so everything matches nicely except the crosshairs in mame. I know its not some major issue but it sure would be nice to either have this corrected in the code or maybe a global crosshair option instead of a per machine one?

Does anyone know if this is a easy fix to correct in the code or is this a known issue and just hasnt been addressed yet? Or am I just crazy?
