I know this has been addressed before, but all info seems misleading and outdated.  What is the easiest/best lightgun solution for a pc mame/arcade monitor setup?   I see that act labs has new gun.  I see there is a gun con mod.  I see there is some company selling a motion based gun?  Anyone have success with any of these?? Thanks!

I've never tested anything else than GunCon2. The driver is still under development but with help of users can be improved a lot. Depending on your hardware configuration it can be more or less easy to connect the Guns to your PC (mainly because of video signal adaptation).
Obiouvsly, if you have enough money the best solution in my opinion is always buying Act-Lab guns that are a commercial product.

If you want to know more information about the GunCon2Pc driver you can come visit me at http://xoomer.virgilio.it/smogdragon

As much as it may tick some people off ...

If price is no object and you are looking for the ultimate solution, then I would wait until we see what UltraCade's gun I/O board is like ... no little plasticy hair dryer (original version) / water pistol (new version) is going to compare to a set of real arcade guns (y'all can have my Happ guns when you pry them from my hot, sweaty hands!).

Now it could be that the board and driver will completely blow, but then again, it might be worth waiting for.

Cheers.

I have a pair of the "old" act-labs PC guns and they are great!  Very accurate and easy to calibrate.  In head-to-head games they are a real blast.  Unfortunately they are pretty hard to come by these days.

I can't comment on the "new" version.

I just got my Act Labs gun today.
