Just picked up a few PS1 guns really cheap and would like to know if they are suitable to use with the aimtrak. Also would I need a USB adapter or does the aimtrak have its own cable. Here are the guns:
-
They won't work. You can gut the guns and install the AimTrak PCB in them, assuming the PCB will fit.
-
They will work with aimtraks. The aimtraks come with their own usb connections. You basically gut everything out of the gun except the trigger and buttons

Excellant just the answer I was looking for. Does anyone know if I could still use the reload pedal.
-
probably could. You would have to extend a wire from the pcb, out the gun, to the pedal
-
Using the pedal as is would be pretty impractical to try and piggy back off the aimtrack setup for a button. You'd be better off just hacking the pedal directly to the PC assigned as some other key.
So long as the pedal uses a switch of some type, wire that to a single Key stroke and in Mame assign that key as the reload, or "hide" or whatever button (should work I think).
I've modded the guns before, and I've created some more complicated pedals that use potentiometers, but for that I hacked a separate joystick.... so ... it can be done, it just depends on how much you want to customize things.
