Anyone tried this Wii Gun, it has a numchuck built in. $14.99 and free AIrmail shipping is not bad, given that it INCLUDES the numchuck in the grip. As for dimensions it appears to be the close to the same size as a Beretta 92fs The real thing: Overall Length: 217 mm ( 8.54 in ) Overall Height: 137 mm ( 5.39 in ) Made by Datel but rebranded and sold on Deal Extreme for less: Dimensions: 8.66 in x 5.12 in x 1.61 in http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.26871 I like the idea of a three buttons on the gun. The bottom slap button can be used as the reload function. |

They don't allow for any calibration (which makes aiming innacurate) and you have to pair the Wiimote(s) with your computer everytime you boot up. Until we get to use real arcade quality (robust) light guns with MAME, it is generally thought that GunCon2's are the best alternative. Steve PS: I bought two Namco GunCon2's for $12.50 including shipping (great deal - from an eBay seller that didn't sell at auction). They arrived yesterday and they too have a button on the bottom, where the magazine butt plate would be. They were made in 2000, so the Datel ones have borrowed the idea from them. Now I just have to finish my Sync booster and combiner circuit and probably put it in a box with a small USB hub. |

...so has somebody tested the nanotech opti-gun (or opti-gun lite) interface in the end? Has Dave of Nanotech disappeared? :'( |

hey, i'm using the aimtrak modules from ultimarc. Mounted them in a guncon1 + guncon2 chassis. The chassis cost me about £8 delivered. The aimtrak stuff about £70. I've got a video of me using it at www.youtube.com/aletchet if anyone is interested. I think it's the best lightgun for the pc that i've used so far. |
