PC Light Guns

I just setup my arcade cabinet to use my Act-Labs PC light gun. From my rough trial play last night I can say this thing works well. I have the retail version of Area51 and it was great, but I'd rather play the arcade version.

Therefore I have the MAME version enroute to my house and it should prove to be better. I'll be able to boost my credit amount and play through the whole thing

I will also be able to use them on House of the Dead 2, Jurassic Park for MAME and any other of the light gun games in MAME.

Just wanted to know if anyone else uses them, or to let you know they exist. The FAQ says only one will work, but know they are claiming to supporting two... thats what I've been waiting on.

That's looking like a kickass hobby you have there Ham. You can really get the body swaying and grooving on the stand up arcade games.

I am thinking about building one of those cabinets when I get my basement finished. Do you have a copy of all the specs, that I could get?

Sure, just email me and I should be able to answer most of your questions. I have spent hours and long nights researching these things and how to build them.

I've have some other ideas on what to change if I did it again, and you might benifit from that type of info.

Ham, I still think all that Mame stuff you did is very cool, but I dunno about a light gun, cant I just hook up my glock instead? I am pretty sure that after one shot its game over.

Tech-TV did a show on a gaming machine mod much like those found in Pizza Huts back in the day, you remember the ones! They were built into a table with it's screen facing up at the players with a seat at each end. I think that the flavors came in Missile Command, Space Invaders, Pong ?

Personally I always enjoyed Defender, Missile Command, Pit Fall, Zaxxon out of them all

I would think a person with decent wood working & computer modification capabilities could make a decent living creating custom gaming cabinets.

As matter of fact, I saw one built by "Yoshi" of Tech-TV that had literally "Everything Inside".. Various models of Gaming consoles (Sony PS, Game Cube, Nintendo) up to a computer with all of the trimmings. Talk about multi-tasking

Locate his email address on the tech-tv site he mods every thing.
