If I remember a previous post about this.. These don't work in Mame.  But the games alone are with $10.

Do a search for it, as this was discussed a few months ago.

BTW, any threads that say it works about as well as the Act Labs gun are talking about the previous Act Labs gun which is nowhere near as good as the current one.

Hey, you're right - both of those games for $10 ain't a bad deal at all!  Hmmmmm...

dabone,

Just curious if you rec'd your light guns and if they were any good?  I just got one today, but haven't been able to test it out.

I havn't updated that site in almost a year. If any of you know of MAME lightgun games that I havn't listed; let me know!

I havn't been at this forum in almost a year. It's good to be back. I am just sort of popping by and I noticed my old site.
Visit my MAME lightgun site:

There's another new gun coming out that looks VERY nice, the bio gun or something. Check retroblast.com's march news archive for a blurb about it (supposedly coming out this month)

Just got my light guns last week (automag ones) they didnt really work good in windows, but they work pretty good in dos mame, well actually Dos advmame.  The gun seems to work better in some games than others, for example it worked good in "One shot One kill" , but it doesn't work good in Duck hunt.  Anyone else have any good experiences with these guns?   I know a few people said they were crap.  But I thought it was ok for as cheap as they are.

What you are referring to is the new "EOps Delta" motion sensor gun (not the PC Bio gun). This is the gun that supposedly will support LCD and plasma monitors, as well as traditional TVs and CRT monitors (essentially everything).  It looks pretty cool and it says is even supports "recoil action".  It appears that Kevin will have a review soon after it's released (which should be real soon).  For more info on this see http://www.eopstech.com/.

That gun looks great.

When he writes a review please post a link to it.

Thanks!
