(Back on topic again!) My dream was that the new system would be 2 player, and I'd be able to hack the optics into my T2 guns and take them off my CP.

Talking about real looking guns. Anyone remember the really cool toy guns that looked so real that you couldn't tell and had a nice weight to them? My prize toys when I was growing up.
until. (true story)
I was flying from my dads to my moms for the summer... and of course I had to bring my ultra cool super favorite toys. Well, I also packed so all my toys were in my carry on so I could play with everything. no big deal at all. I was 6 or so, didn't think much about 9-11 at that time.
Well, I was going throught the metal detectors, and you can't imagine the face of all the people working behind the scanner as a kids backpack that is full of 4 weapons. Then you wouldn't believe the face of my dad when he realized what they were talking about. It took us about 40 minutes to get through (even when they realized they were fake) and they made me put them down below.... The sad thing, we forgot to pick them up when we got there so I lost my ultra cool collection of ultra realistic super guns!
wish I still had them to hack the optics of a new ActLabs gunsystem (if they work of course)

I have the Act-Labs GS Dual gun system and I think that the hardware itself is good. The software and drivers suck!! >:( If I knew C++ I would develope some new drivers).
First of all they should be able to run a TSR program that watches what resolution that is currently being used and store calibration presets for that resolution. Then the TSR program could bring up presets by watching what resolution is selected. Also a setup screen to calibrate each resolution and refresh rate could be used, once stored these values would make life easy.
I have a Thrustmaster joystick that allows the joystick configuration to be changed automatically by watching what game is running! ;)
The drivers once written like this could run as point and click mouse shots, not requiring any MAME special code.
Currently the point and click setup requires you to pick a object on screen point and shoot at it, then move your mouse arrow to that location. This is fine if you don't move your mouse anymore? (how do you start your application, hotkey??) ??? Also once you do switch to a game that runs a different resolution your setup is f...ed! Bad setup!!
Now my advice is, until someone has truely tested this new gun, and I'm talking someone that has been around MAME for a while, stick with what you have!!
Hopefully Act-Labs sees this and is willing to donate a couple of guns to MAME testers.

Saint is supposed to be getting one. Just wait until he gives his verdict.
