Light gun market research question.
TheShanMan:
It was a market research post, not a product announcement post. While it would be great to see him post that he's following through on it, he probably won't say anything until a product release is imminent (assuming he even decides to follow through). And like swamprat just said, complex products take a long time to go from concept to product availability.
I think it's safe to say that MANY of us would be all over a well done light gun solution for MAME, but expressing disappointment isn't going to get us such a product any sooner.

You know what'd be cool? A seperate set of 'light gun guts' and 'shells'. That way you could buy the internals and hten install them into the shell you desire. Pistol, shot gun or assault rifle. As there are some games that don't use a pistol gun. HOTD3, HOTD4, and Ghost Squad come to mind off hand.

I agree! In fact I was thinking the same thing when people were debating the the colors etc.
Have standard guts but then interchangeable gun models. Id like an Uzi more than a pistol myself. But having the option of having another gun model or making my own tickles my fancy.

The guts of a light gun are pretty simple anyway. I imagine every shell would come with a preinstalled trigger and microswitch, then you just install the board and the optical sensor, wire them and voila. The shells could be preformed to have easy mountings for all the parts, so only the length of wire between the mountings would vary.
