Title: PC Light Gun
Post by: djcla on September 26, 2003, 02:42:08 pm
Hi

I am in the UK and wondered if anyone new where I can get the Act labs light gun or, something similar that will work for MAME?  I was wondering if anyone had tried a PS2 light gun on a usb adapter ?

Wow... I've never seen one of those... is that a brand name or something ;)

& No you cannot use a PS2 gun on the PC....
There are only 2 guns confirmed to work that I've heard mention of here in the forums... The Act-Labs gun & another one who's name escapes me at the moment... (black, looks more like a real gun).
It was here, bu I can't bring up the site right now... (http://www.whitedog.co.uk/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=10&products_id=77)

There you go... That's the info I know...

<edit>
I learnt how to spell me some words... LOL...

God I wish I could type "standard"
Can you get the actlabs one anywhere online? I am not sure about the other one from whitedog as it only works at 640x 480 resulution, so was not sure how that would work with the mame games anyone know?

A "read gun"?   Wow... I've never seen one of those... is that a brand name or something ;)

Yes it's the virtual gun & a few people here have mentioned it working. Just do a few searches (use the advanced search & set the # of days to 365...)
