bimm25e:
So IOm looking at buying 2 of these (they would come with 2x VGA/USB boxes as well. its the red and blue pistol looking guns)


Im finding OLD info that only one of these work on a system at a time,  is this still the case or do they work with 2 players now?
Le Chuck:
I used to run two at a time on an old cab of mine.  Been able to run dual since at least '06.  Just have to have to plug one box into the other box IIRC - it ends up a big hairy rat's nest of wires but works pretty much out of the box. 
BadMouth:
2 work fine in software that supports them.  They show up as mice.  Software that uses they system mouse (the pointer) doesn't support 2 guns because in windows, all mice control the same pointer.

At this point in time:

MAME supports 2 player (enable multi-mouse)
Model 2 emulator only supports one player natively, but can do 2 players with Howard Casto's Troubleshooter 2 program (this also adds 2 player to some PC games)

Demul emulator does not support 2 player.
Most online flash games are only going to support one player.

Nephasth:
It works... but might cause epileptic seizures... :P
menace:
Way back when I used mameanalog+ and they worked independently of each other.  The seizure comment isn't that far from the mark--the screen blanks white with each shot and with 2 players popping zombies it gets pretty hectic...
I still miss my light guns tho...
