Wiimote as a lightgun

<< < (7/8) > >>

Games001:
There seems to be a general consensus that there is no 'great' light gun for cab, more so with MAME and such setups.

This WiiMote has potential, of that I am sure.  The real question I don't get is why would it have such issues pairing and connecting with a PC if the Wii itself uses a very standard Bluetooth signal.

Ginsu, I totally get you. I'm in exactly the same boat. I finally bought BYOAC tokens and that was a really hard sell. I've been building my swappable panel, buying ipac4, optipac, buttons, joysticks, looking at tron stick possibilities, etc. The only thing working in my favor is, after having a mame cab for 9 years with a prototype panel that mostly didn't work, she said "why don't you finally get that working and finish the project so the kids can play with it".

Games001, I think I speak for a lot of people when I say THANK YOU for being a pioneer with this device. We're depending on you! :notworthy: ;D

Heh, don't rely on me.. I don't know the first thing about what this bugger does, should do, how it works, etc.

I am just reading solutions as best I can find them and putting action to the ideas.

TheShanMan:
I understand, but in terms of MAME (at least from the perspective of this BYOAC community) you seem to be going where no man has gone before. :applaud:

joebells:
I've definately read of it being done before, a couple of weeks ago it was suggested to me to possibly use a wimote with mame, I was asking about a better controller than the 360 as far as the d-pad was concerned, and someone suggested the wiimote and said its also good for a gun substitution.

http://www.wiili.org/forum/glovepie-wii-mote-scripts-t360-s280.html guess the mame script on that page is supposed to be pretty decent didn't get that far in my testing.
