Light gun market research question.

Its based on running off a hard drive rather then a optical drive.
Since it doesn't apply to this site too much I'd rather avoid talking about it on here but send me a PM if you are intrested and I'll give you my email address, and at least point you in the right direction

Problem is, HDDLoader ONLY supports PS2 games (The PS1 CPU is used as the HDD controller in PS2 mode, so it can't be a PS1 CPU -and- a PS2 I/O controller at the same time). Since there are great PS1 light gun games including Point Blank, which I've made the effort to buy the ligit copies of their game disks, I'd prefer to stick with having the ability to play optical disks.

Ooooooohhhhh...Andy's doing market research on a light gun! I sure hope this means he's going to release one to the MAME community! Hopefully it works with an LCD monitor (fingers crossed). :cheers:

the range Andy suggests is spot on. I'm in

In case Andy is still looking for opinions...
For games like Police Trainer and Area 51, I stand as far back as the gun cord will let me and I would still like to be further back. I like the challenge.
If a gun is going to use a quality cable (with strain relief) instead of a simple USB cable, then longer is better since there is no way to extend the cord. Also, gun cabinets tend to have mount the cables where most people put their keyboard drawer. MAME cabinets will probably have to mount the guns off to the side out of the way so an extra foot of cable might be necessary.
