light guns are kinda out of the questions. best bet is the act labs gun system... and they suck in mame. I'm considering playing with the drivers, but don't have the time. They have been offered to mame developers many times, but none want to take it on.
light guns also are screen dependent. IE, act labs only work on VGA monitor, not arcade or tv. There is a hack to allow nes guns to work, but nobody has it working (but it should they say). But that will be on a tv only
T2 guns are much easier (especially after reading the message a few pages down). Trouble is that you usually have to buy them on ebay (40bucks+ each) and then you used to have to remove the 5k pots (variable resisters) and replace them with 100k pots that the pc joysticks use.... but someone hacked a MS dual strike joystick that only require 5k pots and it plugs into the usb port. IE, should be much easier now... (have to start hitting up ebay)
anyway... good luck :)
