I have just about completed my first MAME cabinet. It was built on a Loaded Weapon cabinet which I got complete with the guns and the mirror, (the display is horizontal and reflected in the mirror). I am using a TV as a monitor. Is there any way that I can use the guns in this setup? They have two plugs, one with a black and an orange wire and the other with yellow, red and white wires. Also, how can I test the guns to see if they are working. As the ACT_LABS guns don't work with a mirror setup, are there any other guns that work in this setup? Any help would be really appreciated. |

There is currently no interface for TRUE arcade guns. I also don't know of any guns that will work on a mirrored setup. |

I don't see any reason why any lightgun that works with a TV and a PC wouldn't work with a mirrored setup, theres nothing special about it. Of course, there are only two options for TV-PC lightguns: The Act Labs TV-PC USB lightgun (Act labs is doing a limited run of this previously discontinued item), and a GunCon2 with the new driver still in development. As soon as the GunCon2 driver is ready, that would probably be the best option since GunCon2s are relatively inexpensive ($30 or less). You could probably even squeeze their hardware in the original cab's gun's cases. |

Act Labs have told me that their light guns won't work with a mirror setup . . . how would one wire a pair of original arcade guns for a PC? |
| MajorLag:
Do you have any details about why they won't work? As far as I know, there is no reason they shouldn't. Real arcade lightguns cannot be wired to a PC in any usefull way at the moment. There simply isn't an interface designed to handle them. |
