--- Quote from: bimm25e on August 18, 2017, 01:44:44 pm ---Heres the info I collected on it: https://forums.arcade-museum.com/showthread.php?t=271012 I disagree with the above poster about the multi lightgun not being a good project. I think the multi jamma cabinet was an extremely worthwhile and rewarding project. --- End quote --- That is a great thread and I've used it to refer people to what a pain it can be. Rewarding if you are into the tech or into the games enough. I'm not. --- Quote from: bimm25e on August 18, 2017, 01:44:44 pm ---Aimtracks are not accurate enough in my opinion, and there are only about 20 lightgun games worth playing. --- End quote --- I don't particularly disagree. My 20 includes the classics and JAMMA leaves me dead in the water (but I get a number of those in my MultiExidy so am happy enough). --- Quote from: bimm25e on August 18, 2017, 01:44:44 pm ---There is a user developing a 8 JAMMA pcb switcher and when that drops you should easily be able to cover all of the (actual, HAPP45, beam-based) light gun games you want, 100% accurately with 100% accuracy in any cabinet with a rgb monitor. --- End quote --- This would change my opinion entirely. And to think I just pitched the Die Hard duramold I had been using as a dedicated gun cabinet. Great info -- thanks. |

Always glad to hear it helped a little, I apologize that the structure of that thread is mostly crazy ramblings but I tried to really highlight the important stuff. I am still waiting for someone to see my thread and decide to make the community a multi-game PCB that plays the solid HAPP 45 games. To me, lightgun games are one of the more difficult control schemes to emulate properly (still looking for a set of act labs vga guns :P) combined with a set of very enjoyable titles. If I could be satisfied with MAME-ing them all I would, but for now playing the real deal PCB's is as good as it gets on this medium IMO |
