Nanotech OptiGun??
CheffoJeffo:
FWIW, and I may end up eating a big plate of crow (and i don't have any good recipes!) based on my prior personal comments about Mr Foley, $200 is an AWESOME price for real gun connectivity.
If you are making a judgement on price based on something like, say, ActLabs or GunCon, I would suggest that there is a reason that people are looking for something more.
I don't want a half-assed solution and am willing to both pay and wait for a solution with a complete and plump ass.
EDIT: For poor wording regarding posteriors!

I have some arcade light guns a wells gardner standard arcade monitor with a arcadevga card with a 3400 athlon xp. The cab has tinted glass. I want to know how accurate this will be.

We are in a mandatory quiet period, so I can't comment on new product releases such as OptiGun Lite. We'll have some announcements soon.
The tinted glass will affect the use of any light gun technology. As members have pointed out, optical gun technology is very old, and we don't control the sensors that were used in the guns. They rely on bright light in order to function, thus the flashing of the screen when you pull the trigger. Depending on how tinted your glass is will determine how much it affects the use of optical guns.

can you give a time frame on when to expect announcements example June 09, end of 3rd quarter 09. Something so we know this is not pardon the expression vaporware.

I think that kind of expense is not an issuem, as all current solutions for a light gun in an arcade cabinet are poor. Utilizing genuine arcade optical light guns and there durability is the way to go.
But I am reluctant to get one shipped across the world when no user reviews have been submitted, by donating one to a respected reviewer would boost the sales period.

I'm with Andy on this - optical light guns are old tech and as CRT's are on the way out I can't see this as a final solution. The sonic system sounds the way to go(pardon the pun) ;D.
Whether we like it or not LCD is here now and something else around the corner. WE want a future proof solution as does the manufacturer- otherwise no-one is going to produce them

Mandatory quiet period? ???
