Light Gun Interface
PacManFan:
I would be willing to develop an interface to MAME using the SDK. If someone can provide the lightguns and interface boards, I will write the device driver for it. I've written device drivers before for 98 and XP, and I've got full access to MSDN resources and DDK's.
I definately think this is something worth pursuing for mame. It'll give me a chance also to examine the interface hardware board in detail, and possibly figure out a way to reverse engineer it.

I do have the lightguns, but not the board as of yet. I'm still waiting for Jack's reply. I figure due to the holiday on Monday that he might have taken today off. I'll call him on Tuesday if I don't hear back from him.
Perhaps we can collaborate on the driver? Sounds like we both have the same resources available and two minds are better than one, as they say :-)

Too bad that it won't work with MAME yet. :'(
That is great that there are a couple people who might be able to put together a driver if it's possible. :)
Mike, if Jack won't provide a board I bet we could take up a collection. Maybe he'd at least give you a discount.
I emailed Jack the other day to ask about compatibility issues, but I guess I have my answer since it doesn't work with MAME (yet). The specs show that it will work with SVGA 640 to 1024. Does anyone know if it will work on an arcade monitor? It's not as big a deal for me since I'm running a PC monitor right now, but I may switch at some point.

It will work with an arcade monitor and a TV. Right now it works great with PlayStation 2 I'm told, right out of the box.
We'll see how things go, I've already received a couple offers for donations to the project, but I'm holding out for a development board from R0R3 in exchange for my (our?) work on a driver that will work with Mame.

MAME32 has options for:
Enable Lightgun
Reload
Dual Lightguns
Has anyone tested these? I only ever hear people mention analog mame.
