What you want

There are two obscure Dos games that used lightguns back in the day, moreover they supported 2p action: AD cop Bonbon paradise In both games you have a Dossteup.exe where you can set your controller as lightgun but as espected as it's very rare, it won't work. If you set controller to mouse you can play with modern lightguns, but only one player allowed. In windows, nowadays lightguns like Aimtraks or Sinden or even Crt ones, are seen as absolute coord mice, and uses rawinput to allow two pointers at once.

SDL officially mentions that it doesn't handle multiple mice independently. https://wiki.libsdl.org/CategoryMouse

For dual mouse see also #2412

Shame, thanks. So, do you know if there's any dosbox fork that doesn't use SDL?

There are ports that replace SDL with retroarch as the interface to the host (video, audio, input device event handling, ...):

• DOSBox Core: https://github.com/realnc/dosbox-core
• DOSBox Pure: https://github.com/schellingb/dosbox-pure
