How about Lightgun support?

[guidodogg]

This. Is there any lightgun for the PC? Something that emulates a mouse, perhaps?

It's a catch 22 as I will not buy it to try until I know it works, but I've e-mailed the devs about it. They responded that I was the first to ask and that they were not familiar with the light gun I mentioned (AimTrak, similiar to Arcade Gun), but I mentioned more people are asking at these forums, so I'm hoping they'll be able to confirm or patch it in. I'll let you know when they get back to me.

That would actually be cool. A light gun with rumble option and rambo...that would be awesome.

I saw one that is supposed to work with PC and xbox 360's on ebay. Id like to know if it works with rambo I would so buy that controller if it does!

No lightgun support?

This railshooter is with no lightgun support? Implement RAW input (three row in a source code) at least.

[ScruffyBamboo]

Is there even such a thing as a light gun for the PC?? I don't remember ever seeing one...

And it would be a lot more than 3 lines of code to implement it (properly).

The issue with my aimtrak and this game was definitely not a calibration issue (aimtrak is working perfectly in mame). As another user said, I think the game itself needs to be patched to include 1:1 mouse support (it surprises me this doesn't have it considering it really is a light gun game). If they don't patch it I might get the ps3 move version because at least I know that will support lightgun style play!

Also, I will vouch for arcadeguns.com. That is where I got mine from and, at least for games that support them, they are great!

[Patrick]

I gave this some thought and other than support raw mouse input (and hide the reticle and accommadate for it in the interface) they should also consider the limited amount of buttons, at least on the AimTrak, which has two buttons, a trigger and on-/offscreen awereness- which translates to only six possible 'actions'. I don't own the game myself yet, but I surmised that as-is it would need three buttons for the directional cover system alone (if I interpreted that correctly), so some controls would need to be streamlined or merged.

Can confirm - Topgun 3 won't work - cursor just floats to the edges of screen.

[wesleyspipes]

Yeah, got aimtrak guns and the cursor goes crazy. No issues in other games and Mame. I also just got the two Heavy Fire games on PC and they're doing the EXACT same thing. This dev is doing something weird with the input/mouse handling.

This is definetely on their side. Shame. I have a lightgun, as well as a wiimote+nunchuk w/WiiMouse all ready to go!! This game is why those devices exists...not exactly but you get me.

[RoTaToR]

100% same as wesleypipes!

(I can also confirm it does NOT work with EMS Topgun3) ... Devs PLEASE do something!

This game belongs in the arcade with others like Time Crisis and House of the dead.
If you plan on bringing this to PC then at least give us the option to buy a controller to go with it.

I absolutely agree. Rail shooter games should be played with a gun. And House of the Dead was great. It's old but it still looks better xD

[unclassified]

so i think we can confirm now that no gun works with that game?

ive never even seen a lightgun for PC. well except that really fancy one that costs like 300+ and is totally ridiculous no matter how cool it is

They weren't very popular back in the day. So it never really got anywhere on PC.

There were a few affordable ones back in the DOS/win95 days tho. But hardly any games that support them.

[NashMan]

the chance is for sure really low but did anyone managed to use a lightgun with this game?
