Does anyone know if any of the current light guns work with Vista x64?

Thanks Everyone

Well, I wouldn't touch Win Vista.  I  don't see why a light-gun wouldn't work; it is basicly a mouse , right?

DOH!!   No!!  Not a wireless mouse at all......  :laugh2:

There are no drivers for Vista for the LCD Topgun right now. Vista is also so full of bugs at the moment, that it's not worth even thinking about. On top of that, MAME isn't optimised for Vista so at the moment it runs worse than a very slow thing on a slow day.

Just take a minute to think and chill.  If you don't have a lighgun, you move the mouse and click to fire.  The lightgun is for the same purpose.  I don't know why I put wireless in there.

Actually, that's not entirely true.  Vista 64 bit generally offers the best MAME performance under Windows OS's.
