Looking to finally put a pair in my cab. Kinda tough to read thru all the pages in that mega-topic. Now that many of you have had time to tweak them, what is the summary on what drivers to use, compatible games/mame versions, and best place to buy?
-
Ummm anyone? Beuller?

Smoggs drivers. WinGun almost works, but it hacked the two player (so that player 2 is mouse 1 button 3 and 4). This only works for single shot... so you don't get 2 player full tracking with wingun...
anyway, Smoggs drivers are the best in all cases.... I think... 2player XP anyway...
btw, do NOT install the EMS drivers if you haven't already. They can cause problems with drivers until you uninstall it (which requires modifying the registry by hand last I tried)

Thanks Wolf. I guess Lik-Sang and the manufacturer are still the only places to get them?

From what I've read and researched, there are just three places right now that you can do it (online that is, no idea about any overseas/non-US retailers):
Lik-sang: LCD TopGun (All TV Compatible) (http://www.lik-sang.com/info.php?category=0&products_id=8565&)
Play-asia: LCD TopGun (http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-1i-49-en-70-16s7-4-6.html)
Buy Direct: EMS website (http://www.hkems.com/emsorder.htm)
When I made an order inquiry direct to EMS, they sent me back a quote of $34.90 plus $27 s&h.
Play-asia lists it at the same price, but offers a non-trackable "economy" shipping option that's only $17.90 (I've used this shipping method w/ Play-asia several times and never had anything lost, it just gets put on a slow-boat from china - that might even be a literal statement)
Lik-sang lists the gun at $34.90, but mentions that you can get 18% off ($6.28 off) if you order 5 or more, and shipping for lik-sang comes up at $16 for their economy delivery.
hope that helps with the purchase options.
Ah, ok, my 'research' is out of date. :) Thanks 812Many, here are some more options:
the console corner (http://www.the-console-corner.com/shop/product.php?productid=6753) $42.90
cliff racer (http://www.cliffracer.com/store/PC.28/LCD_Top_Gun.144.html) $35 + $6.86 for FedEx ground (best deal I've seen so far) - (may vary depending on ZIP).
thanks,

i just bought one from www.cliffracer.com they are based in Michigan.

Sweet, that overseas shipping was gonna suck. That makes these much more affordable.
-
Thanks all! Time to order a pair and find some cool holsters for 'em.
-
mmm cliffracer rose the price to $42 :timebomb:
