Terminator guns were not guns but actually just glorified joysticks.  The solenoid firing would be controlled by the software (ie MAME).  We have a machine gun mode that you can turn on with software that will allow repeated firing with the trigger just held down.

David,

I think that would be a VERY good move!
If my guns were Happ and not Atari I would be placing my order as soon as I knew that, that satisfaction guarantee was in place.
I'll just have to wait for 1UP or anyone else to review it and I'll get replacement Happ boards if needed.

Please let us know if/when this guarantee goes into affect.

  If the Sonic guns work as well as they claim...  they could sell Millions of them
worldwide.   For PC, and Console systems.   You think all those console gamers
from the last 30 years doesnt want to re-visit playing their favorite gun games
"Perfectly"   again?

 Selling to the Dead arcade business is Futile.   So maybe they get a few
contracts here and there.  It wouldnt come close to comparing with the profits
of worldwide guns sales to consumers... even if the guns were in the
$120 range.

I know you love EMS Top Guns, and that's perfectly fine.  But there are many of us that are not satisfied with that product.

This board is targeted at the arcade industry... we aren't the primary target audience, but it is available to us. 

I wouldn't say the arcade business is futile, actually if I understand what Dave has said several times... we are the smaller market than the actual arcade industry. 

What intriges me is that this can also act as an input controller for buttons and also audio.  Now for people that already have an encoder, it could be overkill, but for those just starting their cab build, this seems like a very viable option.  You can build a basic cp and then add on guns later on if you desire without having to buy another interface.

Is anything perfect?  I think everyone would agree no on that.  Is the EMS Top Gun perfect?  I also think most would agree no on that as well.

As the owner of a Top Gun, I can say I definitely am looking for something better, easier, and more reliable.  That's my opinion just as you stated your opinion.  No harm no foul. 

I'm just waiting for this to be officially released and I definitely will have one.  I'll also do a complete (and fair) comparison with it and the EMS solution.

So far the best gun I have used is the Time Crisis 4 gun that is bundled with the PS3 game.  It blows away the EMS gun as far as distance and accuracy.  Unfortunately... this gun won't work with a PC or MAME. 

Dave... let us know... I am ready to build my second cab.  I'll take the leap and try your board.

Dave... the sonic gun... does the price include the board and the sonic sensors?  I am pretty sure I remember seeing that it does.  The next question is... how much are the guns?  And can we buy the gun internals seperately if we want to make our own custom guns?

Please, Don't derail this thread it is clearly defined in it's topic Optigun.
