lightguns on computers

[Figuremod73]

if i build this from the hardware store it still gonna cost over three hundred with the computer, joystick, etc. looks like ill have to save. i play enough games that it would get alot of use though. if i just play old games a refurbished computer wont cost much. anything can run pacman, etc. really i would like a real nice computer in it for newer games...

the x arcade joystick is a hundred and the ones they are offering on this site is like five hundred and something!

Ah, cool, one of those little bar top kits. Pretty neat.

im thinking of something like this http://www.mameroom.com/Products_Bartop_Kit.asp along with the x arcade controller. the controller is kinda heavy though, like eight pounds. ill probably have to play around though. it could get expensive if im not careful

ok, i'll have to start doing some homework on it

Cool, whenever you finish your arcade cabinet be sure to post a pic of it. It would be neat to see.

where would i go to get one of these? will they work on MAME, nes emulators, and genesis emulators? Ive tried using usb adaptors on a few light guns from game systems but it didnt work...

Light guns do not work on LCD TVs and monitors.
