Derrick is working in a new driver for the lightgun. He asked for support to ActLabs and EMS, and he got support only from ActLabs. But Smog can help him with the LCDTopGun (it is a Guncon2 compatible) and Guncon2. Derrick is not working only for ActLabs guns. I am sure if thenew driver works with the ActLabs guns, it will work with the LCDTopGun and the Guncon2 gun. --- End quote --- But if you read his comments he pretty much said act was working with him, ems could blow chunks, if the new mame code worked with them ok, if it didn't so what. Bottom line is if the lcdtopguns easily work as good as or better than the act guns when this is over, someone will buy a pallet of the guns bring them over here, and their price will drop to $35 or so each shipped. If this happens, act will have to drop their price. |

But I think EMS would help Derrick, but at this moment we are working in a new version of EMS driver and (I think) they don't know where they are going to... They have got lost. If it not the case, EMS must help Derrick if we want to sell a LDCTopGun for PC. |

Judging by the fact that there is a 27-page thread about them here, there WILL be support for dual LCD TopGuns in MAME. . . Whether that will happen due to Derrick's next code fix, revised EMS drivers, Smog or Acorn writing new drivers, or Silver or MikeQ revising MAME to work with whichever drivers work best with them, one way or another it WILL happen. There is too much interest in them for it NOT to happen. |

But I will state one last time, don't worry about it at this point. With their supplied drivers, it will never be plug and play with MAME. They only begin to work when using 3rd party drivers.
