That's encouraging

I'm really hoping that I can go the Wiimote route. The alternative seems to be a pair of Aimtraks, and they are pretty expensive compared to Wiimotes.
It seems that most of the trouble is caused by the fact that the Wiimote is bluetooth. What a pity there isn't a wired version.
I'm going to trawl ebay for a cheap Wiimote to experiment with.
If I can get it to work, I may even go so far as to use Windows for my Mame cab.
Rabidgamer, do you have a link for those gun shells that look like Glocks?
I'd like 1911s, but Glocks would be my second choice, and considering the shape of the Wiimote would actually make more sense.
