Lightguns, Mame and AimTrak

[stigzler]

Hi folks,

not sure if the right forum to post this in, but figured a lot of you might be doing your own builds. In the middle of my first one, and I know how long it took me to research etc, so looking to share what I've figured and what's gone well...

So, have made 2 lightguns for my cab @ £30 each. Work on LCDs. 6 buttons + footpedal. Have also made a guide on how to do it:

Hope this helps someone!

Awesome, A very thorough guide indeed!

I have seen you refer to pounds £ several times, where are you based?

Thanks KRC. Nice to get some appreciation for what essentially added to the job time. Over in another forum (which will remain nameless) it just disappeared into unacknowledged obscurity!! NOt a good way to keep a hobby alive!!

I'm in Lincolnshire - guessing you're uk too? Parts is a bit of an issue over here, huh?

[KRC]

I always show appreciation where it's due and in this case it definitely was

I can't really comment on sourcing part's as I have never had any need to, due to me using a HTPC with an X-Arcade dual stick and a 360 controller. But as I am a collector of many thing's I can agree on how hard it is to find certain thing's within the UK. Most of the time everything is shipped from the good old U.S of A.

Also I must comment and say that your site is coming along nicely.

I'm in Wolverhampton in the West Mids.

Cheers again, KRC. I'm trying to leave something after it's all finished. I know how long I had to dig about to find info - often dispersed and confusing!

Keep on with the funky graphics
