btw, I just retried my old actlabs gun system with the new lightgun settings in mame.  Still sucks ass  >:(

But as the drivers go.  Writing a serial port driver, there will be many examples, and its pretty damn easy.  I've done it for many devices for work.

But to write a USB driver, I believe it's a proprietary interface and you need special apis don't you?  I'm not even sure if they are free.

the person to ask is Andy since he has a USB interface for the ipacs.  I don't know if it uses standard USB keyboard drivers or his own.

Hey neo777 viewed your post dated 2002 re: overall performance of 3DZ.  If you're out there kick over email.  Back in 1994 I was sales repfor Techmedia hq'd in Garden Grove, CA.  I was Biz Dev lead for the 3DZ rollout.  If you feel obligated to challenge the "yuck" and "polished turd" technical reviews. 


That is if you feel compelled or even slightly curious.
