Honest opinions about topgun II for lcd tv use?
<< < (4/7) > >>
Necro:
In-tah-resting.

So...here's the $1million dollar question.  Would these work with a mirror cab. :) and if so, where do I install the LEDS...by the monitor (reflected) or behind the mirror?  Dun dun DUN....

(I could only use MAME'd games, given, but....still...I'd like this)

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

If I have issues would you mind if I messaged you with some questions? I don't think mine will be plug n' play either, because of the 64 bit issue you have to go through a few extra steps.  and about the mirror cab, no idea.  I'm just going to use them on a lcd tv, and stick them to the side.  I'm just hoping they blend in with the black monitor. I'll let you guys know.  I also contemplated buying the bigger  bars and putting them on top and on the bottom (I figure there's less likely to be a dead spot on the screen if the bars go all the way). Of course these are guesses, but I gue'ss we'll see.

I just got my two topgun IIs,  I'll hook them up in about a week and get back to you guys with my opinion.  So far, the cheaps don't seem as cheaply constructed as some people made it out to seem. Not any cheaper than the guncon (which many people are using with the aimtrack.

I guess the biggest difference in the end will be how well I can set it up

I've had both the original topgun and the topgun II.  While I had a few problems with the original, I have been very happy with the Topgun II. 
They seem to work very well.   The tracking is responsive and accurate.  You just need to make sure you stay far enough away from the screen so your gun can see all the leds.
They can take time to set up and that has more to do with mame that with the topguns.

Also, since they are a mouse device, sometimes they can swith order on boot up.

Overall though, I think they are as good as anything else out there on the market.
