If your guns start to get confused try this (assuming everything was working before on all systems and com ports set to correct port for each device):
__TOC__


1: Reboot PC
== Latest submissions ==
2: Go into launchbox/emulators/demulshooter and check that guns are in correct player e.g. gun1 registers as player 1 and gun 2 player 2
<!-- Add new ones to the top -->
3: Config lightguns from gun software in tools folder, do each gun
4: Run "set emulator to mamehooker script" - as administrator
5: Run "config guns for RS3 reapers" script - as administrator
Everything should now work if it did before

|steps=
# Close the game and Steam/Epic if running.
# Go to <code>%USERPROFILE%\Documents\MyGames\PinballFX\</code>.
# Delete <code>config.ini</code> (or rename to <code>config.ini.bak</code>).
# Relaunch the game so it regenerates a fresh config.

1: Antivirus disabled on download location/including temp folder of zip download (AV can zap stuff as it downloads otherwise)
<!-- Paste new {{FixCard ...}} blocks below this line -->
2: Disable AV for root of drive or it will zap stuff as it runs
3: COM ports setup correctly and settings surviving reboots (you can achieve this by turning things on the same way each time - for me I turn on the PC then the hub once booted with both guns attached - having both guns attached at both times if you have 2x rs3's seems to stop it getting mixed up)
4: Dont do the above with launchbox or bigbox open, or it wont work, do the above then open the front end
