Five classic lightgun games are playable in EMU7800 out of the box, which appears to be the only 7800 emulator to currently support lightgun play.

SETUP

Emulator – Download EMU7800 from github - Emulator comes with it’s own front end that must be used to load games, scripts to load games directly do not appear to work with this emulator.

  • Start each of the 5 light gun games to populate a recently played game list for easy rom access
  • Cursor removal with nomousey and recommend a delayed script to activate allowing time to select the game from the game menu

**Note – All the games play well but this is a rough solution and not very front end friendly so any script updates that launch the game directly are welcome.**

PLAYABLE GAMES

  • Alien Brigade
  • Barnyard Blaster
  • Crossbow
  • Meltdown
  • Sentinel

SAMPLE AHK SCRIPT

Run, G:\nomousy\nomousy.exe /hide



$Esc::

 Process,Close,EMU7800.exe
