PC Virtual Gun in Mame
hulkster:
well i know that a lot of people, including myself, have asked questions regarding making a console gun work in mame...and basically, it doesnt work. see in mame, (to my knowledge...could be wrong here) the gun is treated as a mouse or something like that. however, the light guns with consoles are not, so theres the problem trying to use it with your pc/mame cab. i dont know of any usb converters for the gun and thats probably because it wouldnt work in the first place. again, your best bet would be to put a console in your cab, like a playstation or dreamcast or something (dont have either one, so whatever one has the most gun games) and use that for your light gun needs.

The guns require some software / hardware to interface to the PC. I don't think you can do it without the screen blanking.

There have been a couple of posts about light guns lately, and it got me thinking I should get one. But they all look like toys I wasn't sure if it could be done but thinking the same thing, I spent yesterday looking up cheap airsoft Glocks.
Let us know if you end up doing it and how it works.
Thanks
