Light gun on Vista?

Hi! I love shooting games with light guns! Does anybody know a light gun
compatible with Vista 64????

For those that may like this kind of game, MAME runs a lot of this kind
of games!

Thanks!

Crossbow FTW, i'm old what can I say.

There's only like 1 company that I know of that makes decent lightguns for
Windows, and that's Act Labs (http://www.act-labs.com/gun1.htm) Not sure if
their guys have Vista drivers yet, but game controllers haven't changed much
since XP so you'll probably be ok.

There are some hacks out there that'll let you use up to 8 lightguns in
MAME, though I can't for the life of me think of a single lightgun game that
uses more than 2 guns. Maybe there's something new I don't know about,
rarely venture into arcades now a days.

Re: Light gun on Vista?

Thanks for your answer!

There are a few PS2 guns with USB plug... but I don't know if it would
work...
On eBay there's a LCD TopGun Lightgun, it will work on PC, XBOX, PS2... it
cames with IR stripes, so it will work on LCD and plasma screens... but
there isn't a driver for Vista 64.

I need a gun that doesn't look like a REAL gun... I'm from Brazil and
gun-like toys are not allowed. I guess you guys got the same problem in
US...
Well, or at least, a PS2 gun (there are places in here where I could buy it,
even if it's a copy of a real gun).

Thanks anyway!
