Hi, guys,

I'm trying to make work a NES light gun in Mame...

The electronic part is tested and seem to work great... (For info look a little further my other
post ...


Any Light Guns will need some standard interface...
If you look carefully each picture of cabinets,
most of these are a big joystick, so the joystick port
must be the "standard interface" for a light gun.

I was suggesting switch4 of Joystick1 , by example,
because most of Light Guns game do not use this
switch...

And It also mean that the driver of Mame Games that
use a light gun must also modified to implement
switch4 and to program what Mame must do with it to
use the light gun.

Most Mame games emulate the light gun so to implement
a real one, some adjustments in each drivers are
required.


I'm new to Mame programming but with help I can
acheive this goal...

Who can help me with this?

thanks
