awesome! Would a review of my experience be helpful, or has this been done (I imagine it has, but I couldn't find very many reviews)

Great! I'm really excited, my brother is going to come up from Southern California (and i'm in Northern Calif) next weekend (so the 13th), so hopefully they'll be here by then so we can set them up and try them out.

I did have a question about some shooter pc games though, does anyone know if you need to leave the disk in to play most of these games?

House of the dead 1,2,3 and virtua cop 1 and 2

I can't think of anymore shooters for pc, the rest will have to be on mame

Hey Necro

I can't remember exactly where I got my info, i just remember hearing people say that they were spotty or didn't work too well but come to think of it maybe I was reading reviews of the first version of the topgun? I think I found some info on the hyperspin boards.  I ordered 2, i'll let you know how they turn out and hopefully have a video of them in action (there's some on youtube already).  If you search "ems topgun II" on youtube you'll see someone playing house of the dead 2 on an lcd computer screens. It' called topgun II review.. not sure why, the guy doesn't say a word. From the video it looks like he had no issues with aiming and wherever he pointed he shot. 

I did hear that it may be a pain with bigger screens.. that is if you're screen is bigger than 50", you can buy add on bars if you have a tv/monitor that big.

Check this post again in about a week and a half and hopefully I can have a review up.  I just hope it's not a pain to add the second gun.

I have also read (from user reviews on playasia) that in many cases they just plugged them in and they worked, but it may be different for a 64bit system.  We'll see.

They definitely weren't plug and play for me. It took a lot of fiddling with drivers and the mame.ini and trying to actually get Player 1 assigned to Gun1 and Player2 to Gun 2 took a while for me. But your experience may be different. Either way, congrats on your purchase, I've been very happy with mine, I hope you will be too
