Oy
Im new, and im preparing to make my own big ol arcade machine. my plan is too have a P.C. in it running MAME. now here is my question, while going on a MAME rom downloading spree (dont worry, all legal) i rememberd all of the good shooter games, so i looked into buying a couple guns. i discovered the price to be quite resonable, but then i wondered if they would work with my setup.

So my question is, what do i need to make an arcade gun work, and HOW do they work. if anyone knows, this could save me like 100 bucks.

Arcade guns from real arcade machines do not work with MAME and PCs. The known working guns are the Act Labs, LCD Top GUn and guncon's.
talon006:
wow that sucks, thanks though

edit: can anyone recommend any of these? im looking for a shotgun style, and 2 pistol style.
BobA:
Pistol style either act labs or Top Gun LCD.  For shotguns you will probably have to mod one of these two into the shotgun shell.

The new Buck Hunter Pro cabs use standard lightguns, but have a board to interface them to the PC that's inside.

I had hoped to get a look inside one before quitting my job, but alas it was not to be.
