Lightgun setup and games raspberry pi

    Hi All

    I have a raspberry pi 3 setup with mame, hich i connect to my tv when playing.

    I'd like to start playing some of the arcade games like point blank, house of the dead, time crisis etc.

    I've looked online for guides or options and it seems like the best guns to get are the aimtrak ones which cost about 60 pound each, they have an extra large sensor bar which i'd need as im using a tv and not a monitor.

    Has anyone done something similar to this and if so, how hard or successful is the setup?

    Are there any better options out there that anyone could recommend?

    Anyone got photos or videos of their setups, i'd like to eventually put the raspberry pi into a bartop casing but i have no skills for doing things like tht.

    Any advice / help would be greatly appreciated

    I know the GunCon 3 from Namco works on flat panel displays as it uses a pair of sensors for tracking, but I don't think the pc/ Linux drivers are accurate enough as yet.
    There are a bunch of Wiimote hacks though that might solve your problems, you could Google those and see if you can cobble together a solution.

    Thanks, I think I'll get the aimtrak gun,

    I was wondering if many people have good experiences with light guns on the pi
