Introduction
Now this setup did my head in. Great emulator, but terrible inbuilt lightgun support - shame seeing as some of the best LG games are on the PS2 at the moment. Basically, your Aimtraks have to be put into a 'special' mode. This is 'GunCon' mode. To do this:
- Hold down A + B button when plugging into your PC.
You have to make sure your gun is wired correctly - A + B buttons to the right connectors on the AImTrak sensor module (if you bought the OEM modules - see HERE).
Lastly, you'll need TopGun drivers - these will mediate between the AimTraks and the emulator plugins to relay GunCon signals.
AimTrak Signal > AimTrak Drivers (transform into GCon signals) > TopGun Driver > Emulator Plugin > Emulator
The plugin you'll need for PCSX2 (and for PCSXr) are here:
NUVEE PLUGIN
It's a bit convoluted. Here's what to start with:
PCSX2 Installed, up and running
2 x AimTrak lightguns
Test game - e.g. Timecrisis 2
Step by step:
Download the TopGun Drivers and extract into a folder (NOT under Program Files)

Download the nuvee plugin for pcsx2. Copy the USB and the ps2_pad nuvee plugins into the plugins folder under the PCSX2 folder.
Follow this guy's guide to setting up:
- AimTraks via the TopGun plugin (puts them into Guncon2 mode)
- The nuvee plugin.
TopGun Settings:
Set them as shown in this pic. Also - be careful with your PAD plugin in PCSX2 - I'v eread somewhere this can interfere with stuff!
'GunCon' Mode
Your Aimtraks will work differently. They will no longer be listed as separate devices. Any buttons you have wired up will no longer show up as controller buttons. I think the only function it has is an 'A' button on the gun itself. All other GunCon features are mapped to the keyboard via StarTrekker's handy plugin [edit: presently trying to source].
This means you have to use a keyboard/keyboard mappings for other game functions like 'Start':
w=up
a=left
s=down
d=right
q=start
e=select
f=C button
spacebar= A button
r= B button
Whenever you launch a PCSX2 lightgun game, you'll need the TopGun Drivers running in the system tray.
Game Specific Considerations
EndGame
You will need to send keycode 'q' to the game somehow to 'Start.'
