| Guns ... Today's Views? |
| (1/10) > >> |
| TheShaner:
I know there are quite a few threads out there about Light guns, one vs the other, pros / cons, etc. Most of the threads are dated though. Now that some of these guns have been out for some time, I am curious what everyone's views are on the guns they have, and how well they have worked for them. I'm looking for things like: "I like mine because flippety flop ..." or "I should have bought the Whatchamadoodle" or even "Johnny sat on an ant mound and got the drip". I am obviously probing because I am looking to add some guns to my cab and am shamelessly polling the boards for up to date info rather than spend hours looking at threads that are from 2010. |

Well, a lot depends on whether you have an LCD or CRT screen. Which do you have? |

I can say, if you are looking for a cheap solution, you should check out Howard's recent work on using wii remotes as lightguns. I haven't had to time to personally check it out, but being that wiimotes and gun cases for wiimotes is dirt cheap these days, it is a good route to consider. I believe anything else out there is gonna cost $50+ per gun and will often be corded. http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,122350.msg1298765.html#msg1298765 So Wiimote as I see it: Pros: super cheap works with crt or lcd Howard should be able to help you quite a bit Wireless Cons: Not heavily tested yet Not arcade authentic No recoil need to have a wii bar, or 2 uv leds on your cab for calibration |

Well I have a CRT (29" Makvision), but I am not just looking for feedback concerning my case. There is a certain amount of curiosity across the board as well. While yes, I am looking for info to help me make a decision, I also just curious how they generally all stack up. Vigo, I am going to go more authentic on mine, and dont mind dishing out the coin for the best solution. I am interested in how the Wiimotes work though, so I will definitely do some research and maybe even play around with one for the hell of it. |
| Vigo:
Yep, I wasn't sure if cost was your biggest concern but I wanted to at least put it out there as an option for other people who would be referencing this thread. I completely agree with you that Lightgun stuff changes too much and it is one of those things that you can't easily reference old threads for accurate info. |
