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. |

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. |
