I am considering adding a light gun to my upcoming cabinet project with real arcade monitor but can't seem to find the one killer option. I read the wiki on light guns and I am a lot better informed than when I started and have eliminated the ActLabs gun for price and lack of flexibility. The LCD Topgun seems like a good candidate? - How accurate is it? - Does it work well with recent MAME versions? - I see it at Play-Asia for ~$52 after shipping which makes it a little expensive; are there other places to buy? The Guncon2 hack sounds like a better candidate for the price and I don't mind building the hardware. - How accurate is it and how does it compare to the Topgun in this regard? - Are the drivers well supported by MAME? - Is there a particular brand recommended for the hack? Thanks |

You can try eBay. A while back someone posted an eBay link that listed a bunch of new/like new Topguns for cheap. I think if you haven't started building your cabinet you should hold off on buying the gun until last. Guncon3 for the Playstation works like the Topgun. it's only a matter of time before the PC light gun choices get better. At least that's what I'm hoping for, and waiting on. If I get my cabinet done this winter I'll be buying two LCD Topguns. But I agree, they do seem a little high, but to avoid any screwing around I think they'll be worth it. |

As far as the LCD topgun, mine is dead on accurate and I have recommended it time and time again. |

Thanks for the feedback. Any proponents of the Guncon2? |

i have dual Guncon2's running through a 52" rear projector TV. they work, thats the best i can say... they are VERY jittery and don't shoot into dark areas of the TV's, if top guns existed before i bought these i would have. they take constant work to keep running and have to be tweaked CONSTANTLY! |
