| Best light gun for MAME? (...and SNES/NES compatibility would be nice) |

Well, it's been a while since I've posted on the forums but I'm now looking to add lightguns to my MAME cabinet. The last I knew, Act Labs was one of the few companies making PC USB (w/TV compatiblity) light guns. However, lots of reviews say they don't like these guns (eg. you have to recalibrate every time you use them, etc, etc). Are these still the best light guns? Are they worth buying? Any opinions would be greatly appriciated. |

i don't have any because i'm not willing to pay over 100 dollars on ebay for one, but the calibration thing is a godsend rather than a bad thing. each game you play in mame is going to be different in one way or another, so recalibration is awesome, and they stick the recalibration button on the side of the gun, so no reaching into your cab to get at it. also, i hear it's the most mega precise one out there. i'm waiting around for a month or so for them to start selling their next version. i hear it's even going to look and feel like a real gun (instead of some sort of science fiction phaser). go over to retroblast (website) and check out the review there if you need any more convincing. |

Thanks for the reply... Did you mean for me to check out the review of the current Act Labs gun at RetroBlast? ...or do they have a review of the newer version gun? (I've read the review of the current gun, but I'd love to see the newer gun...) Also, the Act Labs gun is only $40 (per gun), not $100. However if there is a newer gun coming out I might as well wait for that. Do you have any links to it? |
| DaemonCollector:
Act labs no longer sells the current version gun, and people are selling em for 100ish on ebay. |

Oh, you mean the PC USB (MONITOR) light gun? It looks like they are still selling the PC USB (TV) light gun for $39.99. My cabinet uses a TV so that's the gun I'm assuming thats the gun that I'd need. Thats interesting that they discontinued the monitor-style light gun though. Are they really releasing newer versions of their guns soon? |
