I got mine a few days ago.
Quick review:
- It installs easy you just stick it in-line with the vga monitor and stuff the usb connector into the usb port on your PC
- First thing I noticed, the thing keeps your monitor blank during post until it hits Windows 2000 (on my intel motherboard anyway) and the USB port is enabled, then the display turns on.. I turned on my computer and was panic'd as the display was blank. Looked like a lockup, but it's not.
- You _HAVE_ to recalibrate the gun every time you start a new game that's a different resolution than the last one you calibrated on. Luckally this is about as easy as pie. You just turn on the calibrate switch and wave the gun in a + from top to bottom, left to right and your calibrated..
- MAME has to be set to lightgun for it to work. Standard mouse will _NOT_ work.. MAMEFe supports this with the latest version.
It's not quite as accurate as I'd like, I guess I'm spoiled by real arcade games with better guns.. It is quite playable in things such as the nintendo VS gun games.. I had a tough time being accurate in the Exidy gun games, they tend to be more sensitive as to shot placement.
I haven't got anything else to test other than Maddog McCrea but I haven't tried that yet..
