Act-Labs Light Guns


I purchased the Act-Labs PC USB Light gun for my Mame project. There is an updated review of the latest gun over at Retroblast.com. I strongly recommend watching the video online for help on calibration. Act-Labs has also posted instructions on how to make more than 1 gun work on a single computer with Mame. Definitely gonna have to try this out. If anyone has already done it please let me know how well it works and if there are any problems. I'm mostly interested in getting House of the Dead 2 or 3 working with 2 guns. Not sure if this is possible since the article only talks about Mame.
I would also love to know if anyone has ever been able to get CarnEvil working with a light gun.

    Hey for the ActLabs 2 player games, get their 'troubleshooter' software to hack house of dead 1, 2 and 3 as well as virtual cop 1 and 2 etc for 2 lightguns. As for setup in mame, thats alot more difficult but it can be done.

    I wish there was somewhere i could post the config file i wrote for the new mame 119+ input structure, it took me about a month of mucking around in my spare time to work out.

    Works fine now and very happy with purchase (btw i have the TV 2 player guns, ive heard the USB VGA ones are slightly different to setup again)
