I stand corrected!
It is possible to have a working lightgun without needing the VGA syncs.
I was at Software Etc. and noticed a box with a kid holding a lightgun. It was a lightgun game combo called "NERF JR. FOAM BLASTER, Attack of the Kleptons"
It had been marked down to $10 from $30, So I figured what the hell If it is some kind of a fake Lightgun atleast my 5 year old can use it!
So I get it home plug it into the joystick port, install and try it. Much to my surprise it works amazingly well as good as any lightgun i've ever used Ie. Nintendo-Sega!

There are even two lightgun test progs. on the CD and they are tiny.
I imagine these guns could be easily implemented into MAME32!

If you want to see one of these search for NERF JR. FOAM BLASTER, As far as I can tell Hasbro droped these from their site and they don't plan on making any more games that support it!

Anyway point being it is possible to have a simple plug and play lightgun!

If anyone wan't to help me getting this to work in MAME let me know!

BEST
