My TV lightgun hasn't come yet. Regular MAME Dosn't support dual lightguns, but U_RebelScum has made a build to do it. There are problems when both people pull the trigger within the same 16th of a second (which happens more than you would think). There is a switch on the gun telling it that it is player 1 or player 2; that way it assigns different values to each key press. I don't get horribly technical with it... That is U_RebelScum's domain.
1UP:
My hacked T2 guns will work with any mame gun game with joystick or mouse support, and with any screen in existence.  And, they work in 2-player with NO software hacks period.  With all the problems associated with lightguns, I doubt that I'll be switching any time soon, at least not until there is a plug-n-play PC monitor 2 player solution with no keyblocking issues.  Thanks Act-Labs...  :P

Sounds cool... How exactly did you interface them?

The same way I interfaced my Star Wars yoke.  The details are HERE
GearHead:
There are really are only 2 options for us.  A scanning light gun like the Act Labs and a fixed position gun that's essentially a mouse.  In addition to the flash each time you shoot you're limited to semi-automatic fire with the scanning guns.  Rapid fire comes with a seizure inducing strobe light show.

I'm working on hooking up my Operation Wolf gun.  1UP - I would love to see some more details and pics of how you setup your Terminator gun. How did you attach the pot(s) to the gun to get the up/down and left/right motion?
