Light Gun-Thoughts/Reviews!! Input
« on: August 20, 2002, 09:27:20 am »
Hi,
I have heard that Light Guns will be sent soon. I am interested in adding one to mame a little later on, and would like to know if anyone could take the time to give us some input on its performance. Maybe state what type of setup monitor wise and cabinet wise you have ie) glass, or plexit etc..... and how well it is, and maybe if its worth the money etc.
Life is like a video game, a good one never dies..

There will be a TON of reviews on here soon I'm sure.

I will be writing one that will test a SVGA, and a 27" Eygo monitor.  With mame and virtual squad (my only non-mame game to run... and I'm not sure it it will be supported...)

When you get it do me a favor and settle a hunch for me.....  

Turn your screen res and refresh rate down to about ntsc standards and try your gun with tv out on a mame game that already has the white flash in it.  If it truely supports any refresh rate and any screen res like they say then this might work.  The only thing the vga pass-through does is create the white flash.

(although it might do some timing calcs to in which this wouldn't work)
