Mame's default P1 crosshair will always be blue, and the P2 crosshair will always be red. The artificial crosshairs are part of MAME, not the game. This isn't a bug.
No.03424 Tafoid Administrator Dec 29, 2008, 00:29	You can change them is you wish: Added a new mechanism for rendering the crosshairs on lightgun games. Crosshairs are automatically rendered if lightgun controllers are specified; the game no longer has to render them. Any other analog axis can be configued to use crosshairs via the new PORT_CROSSHAIR macro. Crosshairs are also now rendered in different colors for different players, and done as an overlay using the new rendering system instead of drawing into the game bitmap, which means they no longer show up on screenshots. If you don't like the built-in crosshairs, you can make your own. Just call them cross0.png (player 1), cross1.png (player 2), etc. and place them in the root of your artwork directory.

Crosshairs are automatically rendered if lightgun controllers are
specified; the game no longer has to render them. Any other analog
axis can be configued to use crosshairs via the new PORT_CROSSHAIR
macro. Crosshairs are also now rendered in different colors for
different players, and done as an overlay using the new rendering
system instead of drawing into the game bitmap, which means they no
longer show up on screenshots. If you don't like the built-in
crosshairs, you can make your own. Just call them cross0.png
(player 1), cross1.png (player 2), etc. and place them in the root
of your artwork directory. [Aaron Giles]
