I've searched to my ends as I know this is a beat subject. But I have been debating building a dedicated shooter cab and would like opinions. I currently have a 27" Toshiba CRT that has an s-video input but no component. Is there a way for me to use this tv with mame and other emulators for a lightgun cab? I would highly prefer to not use the IR gun setup such as with the Aimtrak, though, if it's possible to add led's around the entire screen for higher accuracy and turning the crosshairs off, that may be feasible, but again, would prefer a more lightgun approach being that I have the CRT. I also think it may be neat to make this cab a mirrored cab though I will lean on recommendations. Please advise and thanks in advance. |

There are two versions of act labs guns, vga and s-video. They aren't made anymore though, so you'll have to find them used. |

Thanks for the reply BadMouth. I've noticed from my searching that you have quite a bit of experience with such a question, I'm guessing that if I don't want an IR type device, I'm stuck trying to find an act-lab s-video gun like you mentioned with no other option? |

There is possibly another option and it has been mentioned in the past... this; http://www.nanotechent.com/optigun.php aka USB2gun. Problem is its about $300 from Global VR and it's not guaranteed to work properly with MAME or other emulators, as no-one has really tested it. However, I've managed to get hold of an America's Army Global VR Machine with one of these boards in it, and once I get the monitor in it working the plan is to do this testing. |
