Title: Light Gun Roms
Post by: Mrephunk on July 18, 2011, 06:34:57 pm

Not sure if I can post this question so erase if it isn't allowed. I just want to know if a what roms exist for light gun games? I dont want to know where to get them just which ones exist. I want to make a light gun setup because I love those types of games but want to know how many games are available.

Too new.  If it had been dumped, nobody would bother making an emulator for it.
It runs on embedded xp on standard low spec PC.
(no need to make your computer emulate another computer when it can run the program itself).
You couldn't just run the game as-is on your computer though.
Someone would have to alter it to bypass the security key and set up an input system.

There's a possibility it could get cracked the way the Taito Type X games did, but I haven't heard of that happening with any Global VR games.
I wouldn't look for it anytime soon, but you never know.

If they'd release a PC version, I'd buy it.
