Force Feedback Light Guns
« on: January 10, 2007, 05:38:15 pm »
I plan on installing some light guns onto my cabinet at some point.  Are there any MAME compatible force feed back light guns out there?  I couldn't dig up any information on them.

What I did find out is that Act Labs seem to be the only one's that work in MAME.  That was all some pretty dated information though so wondering if there's anything new out about lightguns.

yah I actually read through a lot of that 44 page post.  The LCD light gun looked nice but apparently the company got sued out of business by Sony.  If no one has any expierance using a force feedback light gun then I'll probably just wait.

One of the companies that sold the gun (lik sang) was sued, but I believe they are available elsewhere.  Hopefully someone else will chime in as to where.

You can buy them direct from the manufacturer. Their price and shipping is lower than Lik-Sang ever was.

Well I did.... The guns arrived from Hong Kong to the UK in about 6 days. I selected their economy ordinary post as well, which cut the cost. They're very reliable and helpful with their support as well.
