I'm with Shardian on this one.
We've got perfectly good guns.
We just don't have is a way to interface them.

If you want the real arcade recoil, you need an interface for a real arcade gun with recoil.
If you want a real arcade foot pedal, it should not hook to the gun itself in any way.
I've got some that do that, and it's annoying, and messes up your grip.

I personally would like to see an interface that will work with the arcade shotguns.

Q*Bert_OP:

1) What do you feel is a fair price for a Quality gun?
 $75

2) What is the Maximum you will pay for a Gun?
$125

3) Will you pay extra for a Arcade Power Feedback Coil + Power Transformer kit?
Yes, however built-in recoil is preferred

4) How much extra would you pay for a Arcade Coil kit?
No more than $50

5) How many guns will would you buy?
2 (per cab I build)

6) Would you prefer to have a Gun with Arcade Recoil built in?
Absolutely

7) Would you prefer to have a Gun sold without feedback - but leave room for Coil Kit?
No

8 ) Would you prefer there is no recoil,  and no recoil kit available?
NO! Why would I buy another PC gun that feels like what I have?

9) Would you prefer very cheap guns without features?
No

10) Would you prefer Expensive guns with ALL features?
Yes

11) Would you prefer  Medium price gun with some features, and is upgradeable later?
I'd rather have all the features at once


-ALSO-
I'd like it to look like a typical arcade 45 cal. light gun.

1) What do you feel is a fair price for a Quality gun? $50-$75 with shipping included or reasonable shipping- but it also needs to be good quality
2) What is the Maximum you will pay for a Gun? No more than $100
3) Will you pay extra for a Arcade Power Feedback Coil + Power Transformer kit? Not if the gun is $100, that should be a feature at that price, but isn't a requirement in my opinion.
4) How much extra would you pay for a Arcade Coil kit? Probably wouldn't, but if the price were around $40 I wouldn't complain.
5) How many guns will would you buy? At $100, 2 of course, what's a MAME shooter game without two guns ;).  If the gun is reliable and less expensive than $100 then more, but I have some personal custom gun projects I am working on.

6) Would you prefer to have a Gun with Arcade Recoil built in?  If it works and doesn't feel cheap, and also can be disabled, sure as long as it doesn't double the price of the gun.
7) Would you prefer to have a Gun sold without feedback - but leave room for Coil Kit? Sure why not, but it's not a requirement.
8 ) Would you prefer there is no recoil,  and no recoil kit available? Same as the vibration feedback, it's cool but not a requirement.  I'd rather have a solid feeling gun that is extremely accurate.

9) Would you prefer very cheap guns without features? No,  all guns should have at least the same basic features.
10) Would you prefer Expensive guns with ALL features? Depends on the definition of 'Expensive'
11) Would you prefer  Medium price gun with some features, and is upgradeable later? Depends on the price of the gun, the type of upgrgades, and the price of the upgrades.


Right now I'd just like to see a gun that is plug and play, works with any version of MAME, is highly accurate, and durable.  These guns can take some abuse, and as careful as people try to be, sooner or later one is going to be dropped.  The gun has to be able to withstand that as well as the mechanics of the gun be solid and not break after a couple months of use.

Some other things I would like to see would be a better LED IR design, specifically a wireless version.  LEDs can run for a very long time on a couple AA batteries, so that shouldn't be a big issue, but having wires running all over the place is.

Better calibration and a more realistic distance to the screen.  Basically, no further away from the screen than the original arcade game was.

I definitely want to see any company provide plenty of QA testing and work out the bugs before going to market.

Lastly- We're in the 21st Century... I'd love a wireless gun!

My PS3 gun literally took three minutes to setup and start playing the game, and it is very accurate over every inch of my 55" HDTV.  That's the type of ease and performance I really would like to see for a PC light gun.  BTW, I paid $70 for it and it included a game, so I know good quality guns don't have to cost a fortune.

My answers are the same as Xiaou2 & I also agree with shardian it would be awesome to be able to use the happ guns.  They are the arcade style that has been used for years & you get the authentic look with the rubber hoses etc., I wish we could find someone to make these work, I would be willing to donate a of guns for the cause.  In all of mame the gun market is the weakest.  I'm 4 years still waiting on a descent gun solution.

As an aside, as I mentioned on another thread I was going to contact some people in a semiconductor company who make custom optical sensors, about doing a sensor similar to the Wii-mote but using four corner-mounted LEDs.
They came back to me and said they could do it.
Not so good news is the cost is between 1 and 1.5 million dollars...
So thats on the back burner for now hehe....
