IR LED strips all the way around would be more ideal, but i imagine that would require major changes. --- End quote --- Howard maybe you could get involved and help with the windowing idea if it bothers you that much? --- End quote --- Sure, either lower the price of the guns or give me a cut of the profits and I'll get right on that. I've yet to see these guns successfully used on an actual arcade cabinet standing at a reasonably close distance. When we see that my mind might change but not until. |

Lots of people have ordered them for that purpose though so I am sure it wont be long. Of course your definition of reasonable distance will be personal but the rule of thumb thus far is 1.5x the screen size minimum. Which on a 4:3 monitor is amply close imo, But I have never liked to play right up close to the screen anyway, I play my A51 cab as far back as the hoses will allow. |

For MAME, someone could just make set of custom bezels with the white outline. |

That video by ETA Prime was disappointing. He dragged the crosshairs around just like a wiimote. It looked especially bad (laggy?) on the Jurassic Park game. I've yet to see anyone play a really difficult game like the harder stages of Point Blank or Time Crisis without the crosshairs on screen. Does it work with Mad Dog McCree on Daphne? That game was ridiculously difficult without a proper lightgun, so it should be a great test of the gun's accuracy. |
