The namco guns are supposed to be some of the most accurate ones out there. I might hook up one of each and see how they compare for accuracy and stuff. I ordered them before i got my namco guns working, but i want to test those as well, since they have recoil on them. It was $30 on ebay, but $15 for both on their site. I have those exact guns on the way already shipped out yesterday. Like the OptiGun adapter, but able to do S-video. Even though the real ones are expensive, I like the idea of them being authentic. I wish someone would built an interface so we could use actual dual arcade guns on either a s-video tv, or a vga.


I wouldn't mind paying for Act Labs if they combined the vga and composite together, but since I probably won't keep the tv I use and switch to a multi sync arcade monitor in the future, I'm going to have to wait. I have read alot of posts on different light guns, but they are all kind of dated, do you know if there are anymore choices for us yet, other then ACT Labs (I hate the fact they have different models for s-video vs vga), Guncon (I hear there are issues with dual guns, and require some hardware to make them work with vga monitors and don't work in the newest MAME), and LCD guns (They seem like they work for both vga and s-video, but need light strips like the wii, and it woud be nice to know if those light strips work well behind tinted glass, I wonder if it would solve the sensitivity and ugliness issues) Just a matter of getting the right driver and mame version. I like the TV based lightguns because no lightbar and they work great. YOu have to stand 2-3 times the distance between the infared bars, so on my 27" tv in my arcade, i had to stand about 4-6 ft back before the guns would work, but the light bars are just ugly, there is no way around that. I've used the LCD topgun that everyone raves about, but i personally don't like it. I was considering the ACt Labs, but at $100/pop that just sucks. I ordered some generic Yobo Guncon2 for $22 shipped that i'm hoping to test out this week. 104, but you can't use 2 lightguns, since it won't track them seperately, so gun2 will shoot where gun1 is sometimes and gun1 where gun2 is. Works great in windows, buttons work and registerįrom what i've read the buttons will work in Mame. From what i have found out thus far, I have tested both Smog's Guncon2 driver and the Wingun Driver.īuttons work in windows, doesn't track well at all (rolling-x issue)
