The Namco gun is different to most because it uses a number of sensors mounted around the screen edge. There is a disadvantage of having to mount the sensors but the advantages would be worth it, because there would be no need for any white flash when firing, and a mouse cursor would follow the gun around the screen if visible, ie in Windows.
I will be starting to look at this in a couple of weeks.

Cool, that sounds great :)
How many sensors are required around the screen?

Andy, you are SO COOL!
Thanks.

I think the Namco cabs use one in each corner plus one extra at the sides plus two extra on top/bottom.
That is on the very large cabinets though, maybe fewer would work with a small screen.

As long as it works well and it means no white flash then I doubt anyone would mind how many are required! :)
