Title: nes zapper for mame? Post by: EDD on September 23, 2014, 02:06:14 pm Is it possible to use a nes zapper in mame? Are there any other light guns I can use?
Title: Re: nes zapper for mame? Post by: lordkahless214 on September 23, 2014, 02:44:17 pm No, you cannot use a Zapper with mame, there is no way to interface it with a PC. There are no light guns from any console that will work directly, with the possible exception of a Guncon 2 which I believe was for sold the PS2 but this uses homebrew drivers and may only work on windows XP.
Early on I experimented with a Wiimote interfaced to a PC, it worked but was troublesome and constantly lost sync, so I cannot recommend that to you. But, there are many other options you can use, for example the Ultimarc Aimtrak https://www.ultimarc.com/aimtrak.html (https://www.ultimarc.com/aimtrak.html) this is what I will be using on my multi cabinet, there is also the Arcade gun http://www.arcadeguns.com/ (http://www.arcadeguns.com/) which I believe is just a prepackaged Aimtrak setup there is also the USB2Gun interface, which allows you to install real arcade guns on a mame cab. there is the Act Labs gun http://www.act-labs.com/ (http://www.act-labs.com/), keep in mind the Act Labs guns and and the guncon need a CRT monitor to operate, while the other options (should) work on any type of display. Light gun interfaces are not cheap, so you won't be able to get a good set up going without some investment. Title: Re: nes zapper for mame?
