Act-Labs?

[kryptonyte]

Hi all,

This is my first post to the forum! I am in the process of building a MAME Cab and have assembled/purchased most components. I am definitely looking at getting at least 1 Act-Labs USB light gun. Ultimately I would like to get 2 guns for 2 player light gun games in MAME & on the PC ie Virtua Cop, HOD2 etc

I have read heaps on using Analog Mame+ for 2 light guns and know it can be done. But before I make the purchase of 2 guns I was wondering from a hardware point of view how do you hook up the 2 guns. There are heaps of forums on the software side but none on the hardware hookup.

From what I have read and can deduce, the light guns are USB, but also have a video pass-through box for the monitor. How will 2 light guns work with that setup? Do both light guns need a pass through box? If so do you need to daisy chain both boxes together and then connect the monitor? Or can 2 guns be used with the same video pass-through box?

I'm sure the setup is quite simple and I am probably reading into too much (hence making it more difficult than it really is)! Does anyone have any photos of 2 guns connected to their PC?

Any help on this matter would be much appreciated!

Thanks,
