Lightgun Only Mame CAB

urbecrisch:
I'm looking to buy a gun cabinet (hopefully find one tmr at the Milwaukee auction) and use it to play lightgun games only.  What equipment would I need to purchase to get this done?  I've mamed 2 CABS so far but I have not touched any gun CABS.  Would I keep the original Jamma wiring inside and purchase a JPAC, or do I go a different route?  Maybe add a few admin buttons to the CP for navigation?

I just need a little head start and I should be on my way.  Thanks for any feedback/help.

Cheers!

I'm curiouse about this too but I'm pretty sure you'd have to get either the act-labs guns or the LCD topgun by EMS. 

I have not heard any mention of making stock arcade guns work with mame...this leads me to believe it doesn't work.

Has no-one made a controller board for the stock guns...It would be pretty cool to get and use a pair of happ pistols.

Please chime in if you are in-the-know.

Have you considered getting a JAMMA cab using real hardware instead of MAME and just swapping boards?
Seems like all the PC light guns are cheesy.

Yeah, but GOOD jamma gun games are expensive. That is the key. I'm considering converting a generic jamma cab to a police trainer, but just the board is going to run me about $100.

I was considering doing something similar but it worked out to be too costly with swapping game boards. I instead put in a modded PS2 and run the gun games from hard drive and use GUNCONS. Of course I purchased all of the games (Time Crisis II & III, Dino Stalkers, Vampire Night, Resident Evil Zero Aim, End Game, and a few others). I pop in PS1 Gun Games like Revolution X, Point Blank3, etc.... and change guns.
