      So I want to get a light gun to work in RetroPie to play games like Revolution X, and I've heard about Mayflash DolphinBar, AimTrak and just using a Wii remote + the Wii sensor bar. But many people have problems trying to get it to work so I would you to know if any of you guys have got a working setup or a tutorial(Or just if any of it is worth it(I have a Wii so if i could use that, it would be great))

        @Febbweiss has reported the DolphinBard working with AdvanceMAME 1.4. Ouside of that, most any light gun support in RetroArch and by extension RetroPie is pretty spotty to non-existent. I have three different emulation rigs capable of full light gun support and out of those, my hacked Wii is definitely the most fun to use. It supports light gun games from the NES, SNES, Master System, Genesis, SegaCD and even MAME in a limited capacity. At this point in time, I'd recommend it over anything else on the playing field for some trigger happy fun.

            in theory yes, but in practice no. i think it's a retroarch udev driver problem so it won't work in any lr- emulAtors. it's one of those things that needs someone able to debug the code to investigate. i may buy one and do it at some point.

              Okay, thanks. I hope AdvanceMAME 1.4 will work with Revolution X.
