So if is just for one game I am not sure it is worth anything.

I'm recovering from a harddrive crash but hopefully I'll be able to do some testing this afternoon with the current release of Mame... but from my past experience all lightgun games that I test with a joystick worked excellent. They worked in absolute coordinates so that the gun was centered when the stick was center and the cursors was upper right when the stick was upper right etc..

So in this case all games would work regardless of resolution and multiple players could all be completely independent and track in realtime. To me that sounds like a huge improvement over a mouse. Of course there is always the option of having one gun act as a mouse and player 2, 3 etc could use a joystick driver. but like a said before.. if Mame receives absolute X,Y coordinates from the gun in realtime does it really matter if Mame thinks its a mouse or a joystick? as long as its playable a functions as intended... Granted, you wouldn't be able to shoot desktop icons or play flash games with a joystick driver.. but personally I could be ok with that :)

Slightly off topic, but my topgun order from play-asia.com came with a coupon that says 'give to any friend'.

The code is GA-CTS-TMU and it is $5 off a $50 order, so that's great if you order two guns online.
