'Light' Guns that work with LCD/Plasma Displays?

Pages: (1/2) > >>

I'm building a new cabinet, have been for a while. it's vewlix style and I want it to do everything, possible. I want it to have light gun capability but traditional lightguns as most of us know, don't really work well with LCD and Plasma screens, which is what the cabinet in question uses.  Is anyone aware of a PC gun that would work with such a screen. if I really need to I can just go hack two Wii Remotes, but I would be interested in using an existing product if there's one out there.

I checked Act-Labs and they don't seem to have what I'm looking for, unless I didn't look hard enough.

Like I said, hacking some Wii-Remotes would be no big deal, but if there's already something out there, I'd probably settle for that.

You will want to look at the Aimtrak

It is available from Divemaster over on arcadeemulator.net.

There is also an epic thread here:

Thanks guys, I was unaware of these.

I'll be using a bluetooth dongle and a Wiimote in a Nyko Perfect Shot case for the light gun.
Monoprice has the Wii sensor bars and a clone of the Nyko gun adapter, each for just $2-$3.
The BT dongle can be purchased from Meritline for $2 on sale.
Wiimote are about $40, but if you have a Wii already, then you already have one.
Drivers are available on the web for making the Wiimote a mouse....  voila - a light gun.
