	~~Flycast uses~~ Raw Input for light gun support		MAME emulates a significant amount of controller types in different formats. Raw Input is primarily used for light gun support

	# Run ~~flycast.exe from the install location~~		# Run a game in MAME
	# ~~Navigate to settings~~ -> ~~controls~~		# Hit TAB -> Input -> Input Assignments (this system)
	# ~~Click the~~ "~~map~~" button ~~across from~~ the ~~device you want~~ to ~~configure~~		# Hit "Enter" to select which control to remap and click a button or move the lightgun to reassign control
	~~# Ensure you are configuring controls for Dreamcast or Arcade games respectively by changing in the top right corner[[File:Flycast Arcade-Dreamcast.png\|none\|thumb]]~~

	*~~Games run at a very low framerate~~		*Aim is off
	**~~Try changing~~ the ~~Video Graphics API to Vulkan - Vulkan in general is more performant on lower end hardware~~		**Gun calibration depends on the game
	**~~Disable VSync -~~ this ~~can cause issues (especially in FMV videos) that causes~~ the ~~game~~ to ~~run at 15FPS~~		**Most games have a Service Mode that allows for calibration of the light gun aim
			**Usually Service Mode is bound to the F2 key. If this does not work, follow the instructions above for controller remapping and map the Service Menu/Service/Test keys to calibrate the light guns
