Ultimarc AimTrak Light Gun Module reviews
Epyx:
@Cananas
I don't suppose you can test it with Alien 3 The Gun? ;)
drventure:
About tilting it. I'm wondering if wiring a few extra IR leds down one side of your screen would help that at all?
Ginsu Victim:
If it's looking for them at the top, wouldn't that just confuse it?
romshark:
Had some more time to work with it.
Now that the config software is available, I fixed that one problem with the button. Actually, I think it was set to gamepad 1, but I don't have joysticks enabled in MAME. Well, the point is, everything works now.
Next, I ran some tests. First, how compatible is this stuff with the Wii? Having a standard Nintendo sensor bar installed in my cab, this seemed like something I could easily test.
Using a Wii-mote with the Ultimarc LED board? Works fantastic.
Using the Ultimarc gun PCB with the Wii Sensor Bar? Not so much.
Even after calibrating, the cursor stayed in the top quarter of the screen (on the PC). Maybe more tweaking can fix this, but it's just as easy to stay with the Ultimarc stuff.
Also, the LCD Topgun works with the PC and PlayStation 2. So I hooked the PS2 to my cabinet, plugged the Ultimarc gun PCB into the upper USB port, and popped in Time Crisis 3. Unfortunately, it was not recognized as a gun. Just to make sure, I plugged my LCD Topgun in, and "Crosshair Speed" turned into "Guncon Calibration". So PS2 support is out, for now.
I'll see if I can put this in a gun shell tomorrow. Then I can test different positions.

Awesome, can't wait to hear more (esp about the height issues) ...
