I've been told the way to go with these guns is to buy the MS Sidewinder Dual Strike game control (about $20.00 ea)and then desolder the potentiometers. Now solder the wires from your origional 5k gun pots to where the dual stike pots were. Now you have hot swappable USB guns. I've had 2 Steel Gunner guns and the dual strike pads around for a while but I still haven't soldered them up. Several MAME'rs have already done this and they swear by it.


: I'm Planning on building an arcade cabinet with Operation Thunderbolt Gun Control with all the gun shooting game that MAME support on it. Do you this this is possible? I just don't know where to start, I'm already done with my first project, that's why I thinking about this Idea. Thanks in advance.
