Using a mouse in a gun hack???

Pages: (1/2) > >>

I have heard that there is such a thing as a mouse hack that lets you take a light-gun(just the casing pretty much) and replace the internal parts w/ parts of a mouse somehow to get an optical type of gun for games like T2. I was wondering if anyone has tried this, does it exist, how does it work, etc. Thanks.

1) T2 games are NOT light gun games... They can be easily hacked to a joystick... either Daves analog board (aki) or 1ups dualstrike hack.

2) Lightguns can not be hacked in any way to a mouse.  You CAN hack an actlabs gun into a real arcade gun.. but most who have tried killed their actlabs guns...

but no... wrong technologies...

I no longer have the links but I know what you are talking about.
It has been done. I lost the link a few PCs ago. :'(

I know that T2 was not a light gun game, it used a gun that functioned as a mouse or joystick though. What I am wondering is, how can I get the same type  of setup to where it is still a gun that you are using(not a joystick, mouse, or trackball) but it uses the joystick/mouse hack technology? It just wouldn't be the same on the mame cab playing T2 with a joystick or a trackball and no gun.
