I don't think Derrick should have to worry about it. Let's not forget Acorn & Smog's drivers were not intended for the LCDTopGun (it wasn't even released). I'm sure in time all will be well.

I don't think he should worry, I was just babbling. I just hope someone will ship a pallet or 2 of these lcdtopguns to the US/UK so the price shipped can get down to around $35 each, to help drive the price of the act-labs guns down close to that level. I'm just a little afraid if they don't work near perfect in mame, nobody will put up the money to ship enough of them over here at once to get the price down, causing act to rethink their pricing. With the LCDtopGuns at $50+ shipped and not working as well as the act ones, act has no reason at all to go down.

I disagree. I don't know anyone who has been able to make dual act lab guns work with MAME. And I don't know anyone with two LCD TopGuns who isn't playing mame wonderfully with them. Those guns ROCK. And it was only $94 for two of them, shipped. So the price is only $47 per gun.
You are right though that someone should import a huge ass pallet of them. Because I would have loved to pay only $35 or so for them.

Well with Derrick working to make the act guns work correctly in mame, soon the act guns should work better than the lcd topguns, I was hoping the would soon both be working equally well, so they would be put in a head to head price war.
$47 is pretty close to $50 and if you buy just one they cost more than $50 ;-P

I am absolutely disagreed.
Derrick is working in a new driver for the lightgun. He asked for support to ActLabs and EMS, and he got support only from ActLabs. But Smog can help him with the LCDTopGun (it is a Guncon2 compatible) and Guncon2. Derrick is not working only for ActLabs guns. I am sure if thenew driver works with the ActLabs guns, it will work with the LCDTopGun and the Guncon2 gun.
****EDIT ****
Don't Panic, please.
BTW, I have 2 pairs of ActLabs gun (2 PC USB and 2 TV USB) and 3 LCDTopGuns, and those last one are definitely the best guns.
