I've never heard if they work or not.  I've not bothered buying one to find out.  Good luck.  =)

If I can play police trainer and sharpshooter accurately with 2 players without hassle, I will soooo go get a used xbox on the way home. ;D

I know you said mame but thought I would throw in my .02 here  ;D

I have tried the Silent Scope rifle on my cabinet (Happs Provision montior) and could not get it to function correctly.

I had the Capcom guns for the PS2 and the same thing.  Shoots were not landing where I was aiming, might need some tweaking, not sure.  Just gave up on them working  :dunno

speaking of new version.....what is new?

You weren't using your Silent Scope rifle for Silent Scope were you?


It doesn't matter what gun you use with that one. It is just plain broken. The only way to get any type of response is to turn the brightness up to ridiculous and unpleasant levels.


I haven't actually used the latest mamedox (I don't think, as I haven't followed it in a long time, so I don't know what the latest version is), but gun support was definitely not very good at all when I last tried.

I have a gateway 31" vga(something like your happ provision) and all my ps2 gun games work perfect. I am using xrgb2 upscan converter for ps2 games. and dreamcast gun games work perfect as is. I will post my result after I get an xbox gun. this should work on vga monitors and HDTVs http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&Item=120205100305&Category=68260&_trksid=p3907.m29

and I dont really know whats new with the latest mamedox..I hear they added bunch of new games or something

Yeah it was Silent Scope

But it works great on my TV.  No issues at all and all my shots are on point.  Do not know then.  snaakes works without any issues.  I can not seem to get it work, so I gave up....lol

EDIT:

My plexi is smoked.  When I take it off, I think it was better but I love my smoke plexi, so i gave upIII

4Gamer lightguns work great in MameDox.

Have not tried it with the LCD TopGuns yet, but that something to add on my todo list. :D
If I had only one wish, it would be for three more wishes.

hmm..so I got the madcatz gun but I am not sure if its the 100mhz version or not. house of the dead 3 works perfect on my vga monitor + x2vga box. most gun games on mamedox doesnt really work..only pointblank is somewhat playable(which I already have for ps2 anyway)

I will try on a regular tv later on and post result

Thanks for keeping us updated.  I have a TV in my xbox cab, so I'll be looking for your results.  =)

ok apparently "mameOX" is the one with gun support. it lets you calibrate it and everything but the cursor is on wrong spot..about an inch off. even though I can shoot my target, I still have the cursor which is very distracting. anybody know if there is a way to disable to on screen cursor on mameox ?? I posted on XS but havent heard from anyone.


and no I still didnt get to try it on a regular TV..I just dont have access to a standard TV now a days lol(hopefully I will later today !)  :dunno

Dunno aboout that Snake, they work but not very accurately.

If you find out how to calibrate it better in OX let me know.

You can turn the crosshair off.


It is somewhere in the menu as "Toggle Crosshair". Just assign it to a button(combo). You will need to disable it each time you go into the game, and it sounds like it is the same version I have played with, and the lightgun functionality was never really good enough to make it worth the bother.

I had a boss battle gun, and it never seemed to work well in Mamedox. I only worked on the right 2/3 of the screen in Police Trainer. It did work very well in FCEUltra with Duck Hunt.
