There’s something like 12 different MAME cores, not including manufacturer-specific ones like the capcom ones. Makes consistent game mappings a royal PITA, especially when you can’t find a single compliant romset for something. Bothers me that after all these years, I still can’t play APB properly.

I have got one of these -

The thought of being able to potentially add a light gun to it makes me excited but i have literally 0 clue of what you guys are talking about, but is it possible to do with the set up that i have currently??

I'm guessing it plays much like the wii controller in a gun housing like I used to use for House of the Dead and Call of Duty.

Interesting. The Sinden light gun needs to run on a windows OS to load the driver, so if that arcade cab thing runs on Win10, you’re laughing. If not, I don’t think it’ll work, but you contact Sinden, they should be able to advise.

The driver effectively turns the light gun into a mouse, that’s how it interacts with games running under emulators.
