I have noticed that there has been a little talk on the forum about our lightgun.

So, if the owner of this thread or anybody from the site wants to check out the lightgun for themselves, we will gladly give away a free gun for you to try as long as you agree to write a review on this forum and also on our website at www.whitedog.co.uk

Please email on barry@whitedog.co.uk to discuss who is having the gun for trial... obviously you get to keep it afterwards!

Thanks

Barry,

Well it was me who purchased the gun the other day, and I am indeed putting together a review (inc pics), so if I was to complete this for you host own your site would this mean I'd get the gun for free? or some sort of refund ;)

(I've also dropped you an email)

Go for the second gun and you can test the full gambit of mame configurations--My mine interest would be to have 2 and not just one on the machine--Area 51 and house of the dead rock with 2 people--As with others I would order 2 at once and not just one--if in fact its not a piece of crap ;D

(Well since this has turned into a PC Virtual Gun discussion I'll ask...)

Does any know who the manufacturer of this gun is? It is WhiteDog, or they just a reseller?

The LikSang site seemed to have more info on the gun (see this FAQ) According to this the gun doesn't work as a mouse emulator, which means the program would have to support it as a DirectInput device. A few people have said that it works with MAME, so have the MAME developers added some support for it? (as of Dec 2002 they had not according to the above FAQ).

I'm anxiously awaiting a review. This might be a better lightgun solution for me than the ActLabs stuff, as I'd like a two gun solution that works with WinXP. (ActLabs currently can't do this, even with Analog+ MAME, as it's an OS issue.)

For who ever reviews the gun (GSXRMovistar or anyone else), here's what I'd like to know:
1) Does it really work with MAME? (El_Diablo here claims it works with a number of MAME games)
2) Do two guns work in XP (with MAME)?
3) How accurate is it?
4) How long is the cord? Would it work well in a MAME cabinet.
5) Is calibration required?
6) How is the "feel" of the gun? (too light, too heavy, etc.)

any more review stuff?
