light gun question
(1/1)
Trebeck:
Hey all,

I am thinking about buying 2 light guns for my cab but I have no idea how they connect or if they could connect.
My cab is a typical Mame/PC with an ipac and a 27in TV.  Can I put in 2 guns with this or do I need the equipment a dedicated cab would have?

Thanks
Beck

I went with two lcd topguns from playasia.com http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-1i-49-en-15-lcd%2Btopgun-70-16s7.html.  Came to $106 and some change after shipping.  I drilled some holes in my bezel so the leds on the light bars show through and mounted the bars with double sided auto trim tape.  You can see them in the second attachment.  I cut the cord off a usb mouse and use that to power the light bars.  I also bought an m solder dc plug and switch from radioshack so I can turn off the led bars when not in use.  I have been very happy with them so far.  I have not heard of a way to use actual arcade guns in mame.  There are some controller improvements in mame .118 that help as well.  I bought a couple of tool hangers from the local hardware store to use as holsters.  They are deep enough and covered with rubber so the guns don't slip off.  See attached shot.
