Wii uses LED's too right? I'm not a fan of the topgun my set-up just doesn't allow for permanent mounting of the LED strips, and u have to be too far away IMO plus the 3rd party driver issues just add up to a crappy product IMHO (no dis)

I did a little bit of testing on this and I've come to the conclusion that the LED bar thing just isn't really that great of a solution yet (for arcade games at least).  I found I had to stand about 5-6 feet away from the screen to get rid of the uncontrollable wii cursor shaking.  This is fine for large showcase style games, but not so good for games like Crossbow, Police Trainer, or Hogan's Alley where you had your gun much closer to the screen.

TheAdMan:

I've had an idea brewing in my head for quite some time now about a way to make a standard or maybe slightly modified lightgun work on an lcd monitor, basically the principle and hardware would be the same (optical censor detecting light emitted from monitor) but it would require some software development skills (of which I have next to none), think it could be a feasible idea tho.
