Ah, shit I guess its just the forum fucking up. oh well,

@Gary_b
If you wanted to pick more then one.
I just set it to one and it still didn't work.

What Light gun do I want to look for? What one is the best but still under $100?

i think avoiding the official light gun is wise. sega had a lockout on it for North America. other than that look for one that you think looks cool or maybe one thats cheap? i have the madcatz one and i hate it. it looks like something out of the original star trek. also i cant get it to work with NestersDC's light gun games. Smith made a light gun pack and i cant use it :x

I would recommend purchasing either the mouse and keyboard or a lightgun. Playing HOD 2, Virtua Cop 2 or confidential mission with a light gun and a rumble pack feels like a trip to the arcade. I recently purchased the Interact Starfire light gun and it works perfectly so far.

Just remember that lightguns only work with older TVs.
