Seriously?

That game is still rather new, and is still making money for operators on location. I'd say your friend has a couple options: A) Cough up $10K and buy one, or B) Wait several years.

There are higher quality pictures of the cabinet on the manufacturer's webpage:

As for emulation, like piecesof8 said, it'll be a while.

The guns look to me like just analog sticks, similar to T2's setup. I'm guessing they are not actually light-guns.

The only suggestion I would have is to find a similar game and build the cabinet around that. Being so new you won't be emulating that anytime soon.
Where's my gold star :P

I dont know but it costs a buck, you die pretty fast, and the graphics look horrible.
