| Couple questions about lightguns |

I'm thinking of adding lightguns to my showcase cabinet. I have Mala as my FE and Mame .106. I'd like your input on 1. Do the strands work behind smoked plexi? 2. two players - no problem? 3. how often do I have to calibrate? 4. This last question is subjective but, in your opinion, do they perform well for a majority of the games? Nothing will bring me out of a game quicker than a poor performer. Thanks! |

Assuming you are talking about the LCD Top Guns here. Mine just arrived today, so I can't answer definitively, but from what I remember of that massive thread on the boards here: 1) Yes, perfectly, just don't put a bezel over them 2) Works fine, but you lose the on-screen tracking icon (then again, real arcade games don't have those icons anyway) 3) Anytime the screen switches resolution-if you force the resolution so it never changes, then the only time you should need to recalibrate is if you make a significant change in your distance from the screen 4) All the reviews I've read on this board have been overwhelmingly positive-they're more of the "it works great and XXX would be nice to have as an additional feature" not "these things suck and are barely playable" |

which lightgun is everyone buying these days? last I was into this hobby and researching lightguns it was the actlabs phaser looking one but that was a year or more ago. what kind of machine is needed to run the mame lightgun games? are the pc lightguns any better than say the ps2 lightguns? I have two really cheap ones that blowback for the ps2....but I was toying with the idea of a lightgun cabinet. how many mame lightgun games are there? is there enough to justify a standalone lightgun cabinet...? I prefer one cab that does one thing over the multiuse cabs...but I have the space for them. sorry to hijack thread. |
