Light Gun Frontends?
« on: January 21, 2005, 03:57:19 am »
Are there any frontends that will let me launch games using lightguns? Something like a 3 by 3 grid of screenshots of games that I can fire at with two left/right scroll arrows on the side?

I did some searching, and I know Mamewah won't let me. But I'm not terribly familiar with any of the rest.

Don't lightguns work like a mouse click? If so you can use a standard desktop and oversized icons with command line shortcuts straight into the game.

Call it... Ghetto FE!  ;)

You might be able to get it to look ok-ish this way if you launched into an HTML or flash page.

Yes, Dk supports rudimentary lightgun navigation, you just have to turn it on in the input menu. 

What It'll do is allow you to scroll through the list by firing upon the list elements. (It makes a cool shotgun sound and burn holes too).  What it won't let you do is switch lists.... I've left that up to buttons.
