RetroBlast Video Review: ACT-Labs Lightgun

<< < (4/5) > >>

GamingGreg:
I believe u_rebelscum had two ActLabs USB lightguns working with Win98 and Analog+ MAME.  (see this thread here for details)

Still I haven't seen anything that would work with two players in WinXP.  (Thanks a lot Bill Gates! >:( )

KevSteele:
Cool - I didn't think it was possible to use two light guns (daisy chaining them together like that!)

That's almost good enough to make me want to switch back to Win98...almost... ;)

SirPoonga:
uRebel thinks multiple mice in XP is possible, but not through DirextInput.  He needs an XP machine to try it though.

GamingGreg:
SirPoonga & uRebel,

I'd be willing to assist in any way with testing multiple mice code on WinXP.  I might could look at writing some routines as well, however I'm rusty at Windows code, as I've been in the Web/Java world for 7+ years now.  I'd probably need to be pointed to some sample code to start.

I have two machines at home with XP on them (one in my cabinet), and my cabinet has a trackball, spinner, and standard mouse attached to it.  So even without two lightguns, I could still test some multiple mice code on XP.

Carsten Carlos:
Cool review! Didn't know about the white-flashing before, seems like they have a better solution in the real arcade-machines (like HOTD3)? If they only would make such guns for home-use...

But I must admit, seeing the ActLabs-gun in action, it isnt't that much ugly as I thought!
