elmexicanking Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 hello fellow builders! well my story goes like this: i always wanted to build a gun arcade and not like the standard upright cabinet size one, but the really giant ones like time crisis two player or ghost squad size. so i got my hands on a broken Gunman wars arcade and started from there, now i have a 50 inch plasma which fits perfect inside, 2 modified terminator machine guns (the rail guns) and two lightguns from Arcadeguns.com. the pc i am going to leave for last because i want to build a powerful gaming computer and because the longer i wait the cheaper the parts get, but i want to get started on the cabinet. so here is my reason for posting this: here is some concept art and please critic the hell out of it (no trolls please) and maybe i can get some even better ideas. thanks!

majorspawn Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 very cool concept BUT how on earth are you going to get the terminator 2 guns working with gun games, the T2 guns are actually joysticks not actual guns emulating a mouse. They are also sitting very close to the screen so an infrared sensor would most likely not detect them... I was under the assumption that you need a bit of distance between the guys and sensor itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elmexicanking Posted October 18, 2013 Author Share Posted October 18, 2013 you can hack a ms sidewinder dual strike (http://1uparcade.rmfx.com/projects-dualstrike.html) and connect it to the original pots inside the gun, but they are only going to be use for the position gun games ie..terminator 2, aliens the gun, jurassic park..etc. the rest of the gun games will use the light guns.
