Let us know if you end up doing it and how it works.

Thanks

Will do.  It'll probably be a while though since I can't afford another gun right now.  I'll definitely do it at some point though.  I'm guessing it should be pretty simple....I've got a cheap airsoft spring pistol now and if you took the barrel out there would be a lot of room.  The plastic is fairly solid too, so if you took care drilling, it should all be good.

If you decide to have a go before I do, bear this in mind when getting the airsoft pistol...you need to be able to 'field strip' it.  The one I have now can be taken apart like this easy enough, but I don't think you'd want one where you needed to cut it open.

KevSteele didn't seem to have a problem getting the PC Virtual Light gun working in Mame.

Have you tried going into Mame's analog settings and adjusting the "mouse sensitivity" for the lightgun games?  That might help if you are getting consistently off-target results.

EnglandFC:

I don't see the mouse sensitivity settings...just the lightgun sensitivity.  This seems to adjust it ok, but as soon as you start firing, it makes it's way back to where it was.  I've tried all combos of mouse on/off and lightgun on/off and nothing seems to work reliably.

The accuracy of this gun sucks, even under windows games, so I've basically resigned myself to getting an Act-Labs gun and modding it to look better.

Thanks for the hints though.
