You might want to put a link to the dolphinbar as well considering neither of us knew about it. I think I'm going to use the pbj cheapskate method and go ahead and order one. I lost interest in troubleshooter 2 because of the convoluted method that had to be used to pair wiimotes.

Agreed it's news to me and sounds convenient.

Mine will be delivered today, so I'll actually be able to comment on it from experience. ;D

Old topic, but this seems like the place to post this question: it's 2017. Many people using GroovyMAME now, and CRT TV's (well, Sony PVM/BVM's at least) seem to be having a renaissance moment right now (as evident by their skyrocketing prices in the last year or so, and people even posting their 1995 consumer Sony Trinitron TV's on Craigslist for ~$250 I see all the time now lol).

I'm about to pull the trigger on an AimTrak light gun - which uses (sometimes) crappy IR to track the gun's moment. I'm all about my old consoles using actual lightguns on 15khz CRT's, so I wanted to ask if there's any commercially available (i.e. not out of production for 10+ years) actual light guns – as in one which works like the light guns of old did on 15khz CRT's, which is USB compatible with a Windows 7/10 computer (even with a special board/interface I have to use), and able to run the latest GroovyMAME 0.190/0.191???

I'm going through the 20+ links above right now but thought I'd cut to the chase and just ask you guys. If IR is the only way to go moving forward so be it - but this light gun (for gun, recoil kit, 36v power supply, and holster) is going to cost me over $200 for one single gun setup, so I just want to be sure before I pull the trigger so to speak ;)
