Setup Dual AimTrak Light Guns with PC House of the Dead 1 2 3/MAME
« on: December 30, 2014, 05:38:31 pm »
Hey guys.... I recently published a blog post on this subject step by step including a youtube video and HyperSpin integration. It was a royal pain to get going. Hope this helps some of you out in deciding to get guns or getting them working.  For those experts, if you could take a look and let me know if I am missing anything.

Also feel free to use coupon code "arcadecontrols" for a discount if you need some arcade parts.

Thanks,

I've built the computer on mine, and I have it going to a 25" CRT. Still need to decide on the cab setup.

It is getting closer. The vinyl is what is leftover from my juke. Amazon bent it when they stuffed it in the box. Ran out of buttons, need to change them out too. Just getting it usable for New Years party.

have you tried getting 2 players to work in the wii version of HOTD 2/3, there a bit better than the PC version, for one you can run HOTD2 in High resolution, PC version is fixed at 640x480.

I have seen this before, nice setup. I was looking into google music, but I dont like the idea of uploading all my music and having to pay to stream it back. I have plenty of storage on my drive in the jukebox. If all else fails, I can stream it from my desktop pc that is sporting 10tb's of storage. Happy New Year  :cheers:
