Anyone wants to sell their Act Labs Holster,I am interested if the
price is affordable.Email me at Jettroh@... in
advance.

Just wanted to let you guys know that I found a cute game called
CHICKEN HUNTER at WalMart.  Not a hard game but it is cute.  Works
well with the Act guns also.

Go around blasting chickens, they are fishing, flying, even poking a
hornets nest with a stick.  It is made by ENCORE software.  I can
not find any place that has pics online.

$10 at WalMart, just in with there computer software.  Only thing
bad is that you stil need to use a mouse to scroll the screen right
or left.

Later all,

John

How much did they charge for shipping?

Like House of the Dead 2, it does not natively support two players using light guns simultaneously.  But you can use the Act Labs gun for a single player game and it works great.  I will be working hard in the coming week to create a TroubleShooter profile for this game, so that we can use two guns in two player mode.

 

Still no word an a North American release.  But I ordered my copy from http://gameplay.co.uk. It shipped on Feb 10, and I received it today (Feb 22).

The HotD series is also one of my favorites.Some of the MAME games,too,like Terminator 2 and Jurassic Park.Shame some of the newer roms,like CarnEvil,just aren't playable,even on high powered PC's.

I am using 2 Act Labs USB TV light guns on MAME32v0.84.All of the
games that support dual light gun worked fine except on Area 51.On
Area 51,both guns worked perfectly except the reload button.Shoot
Off Screen is not working either.I have to wait until it reloads
automatically,around 5 secs.Any idea out there?I've tried
version .79 up to .84 but no such luck.Thanks guys.

you can get one is EBAY (used) and you have to pay an arm and a leg

I'm running mame in a cab with an arcade monitor via Andy's ArcadeVGA

Thanks!

To toggle crosshairs in MAME, use the F1 key (or maybe F2, I can't remember).

Try recalibrating light gun when the game starts. The problem is that
the gun is calibrated for your desktop's resolution and not the

I've been posting all over the place on all sorts of forums trying to
get some help with this one:

I'm using MAME32 (v. 85) with a Act Labs USB TV lightgun.
It works in Windows as a "mouse".
In MAME it calibrates and fires, but it doesn't "hit" anything.

I played Police Trainer and Aliens3:The Gun with trackball and the
lightgun to compare what happened.  With the trackball, I have two
sets of crosshairs moving around.  With the lightgun, one set of
crosshairs stays off the edge of the screen, which is where the shots
are going, despite it being calibrated fine for desktop use.

Any suggestions for things I could try?

Hi Tom,

Thanks for the reply!

Interestingly enough - I hooked it up to my PC via an SVGA monitor
and voila!  Worked.  In XP as well!  The lower the res went, the
better the perormance - including the further I went from the monitor
itself.  Had a ball with 1st person shooters like Area51 - was
accurate enough.  Alas - bought it for my arcade cab and arcade
monitor but no dice - not compatible.  For sale on Ebay now :)

THANK YOU FOR THE INFO!!
Now - if anyone can point me to where I can get a ActLabs USB Light
gun that is arcade monitor compat - I will gladly pay top dollar! :)

My first question to you is what operating system are you using? The
Virtual gun only works with Win98 and WinME, it will be recognized
by WinXP, but it does not work.

Hey guys,

Psyched to see there's a light gun forum alive for Mamers.  Getting
info is like pulling teeth these days.

So - purchased a Lik Sang Virtual Gun off of Ebay - can't get it to
work with my mame cab.  I'm running off of an arcade monitor via
Andy's Arcade VGA and Jpac.  Tried all res and brightness -
nothing. 

Beginning to wonder if the gun itself is broken.  Should I actually
be seeing a "light flash" from the barrel of the gun when I pull the
trigger?  Or a red glow, something?  I get zip.  Maybe the gun is
broken.  Or maybe its not compat.  Figured I'd make my first post

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!!!!!
