--- Quote ---You don't use the guns sights to line up your shot? You just shoot wild west style from your hip? Sorry if I'm not as skilled as you. I need something to line the gun up.  I'd be lying if I said I found lining up using the sights on something like the NES Zapper any more challenging than using crosshairs on an emulator. I still need to quickly line up my shots and that is where I find the challenge.

 Neither.

 Hold your arm fully outstretched, and point.. as if its an extension of your finger.  You can use the other hand, grasping the arm or wrist, to help keep the gun still, as well as prevent fatigue.   IE: Police style.

 In most situations, a police officer doesnt have time to line up shots in sights.  In gun games, you dont have that time either... especially on a game like shooting gallery, where 6 or more fast moving targets are flying by.

 Like any skill, its a thing that practice will improve.

I have older Aim Traks, actually had them for about 2 years in the box.
When I picked up the GunCon 2 I wanted to use GunCon 2 Mouse, thought if that worked it would be a great alternnative........ anyway, didn't work, blah blah blah, I WASTED MAJOR TIME !

So now I have my pair of GunCon 1 which I think are better, trigger plus 2 buttons, PERFECT !
Gotta say however having the older Aim Trak I'll need to solder on my second button connection. I'll pick up some 30AWG wire this weekend........my solder skills aint that good.
I'm nervous trying to solder on such a small area.

Don't be scared. Fear makes you shivering ;) It's really not that hard. Don't fry the pcb and you're fine!

What helps me is a digital soldering iron with adjustable temp. 

Making it physically impossible for the Iron to melt the pcb helps.  ;)

iep i think genplus gx ( the win32 port) supports lightguns, but only in windowed mode, and it isnt resizable. Its a shame because this emu suppors sms gen and mega cd.
For the c64, Vice.
And Javagx4000 also supports aimtraks.
actually i own two ps2 guncon2 (not namco), dont like ir guns.
