You're funny, in a strange and special kind of way

Anyway, programming for the xbox is very very similar to programming for x86 in C/C++. You need an XDK (Illegal, don't ask) to do so... there is lots of info in the forums about what you need to get started.

I can get the XDK, I just need to know if it would be worth the while, like the xbox can handle it and will enough games work with it, (If only a few will work, forget about it.)

I don't know, but i'd venture a guess that you are probably wasting your time. I'm sure if it was easy enough/worthwhile, xport would have done this already.

some mame versions have lightgun support added as well i think zsnes and fceultra have lightgun supportry to see how they handle the code. mame is probably the simplest to look at cause the calibration is stored in the ini file and very easy to access. you should definitly try.

[Input]
Lightgun1_Left = 4294934529
Lightgun1_CenterX = 0
Lightgun1_Right = 32767
Lightgun1_Top = 32767
Lightgun1_CenterY = 0
Lightgun1_Bottom = 4294934529
Lightgun2_Left = 4294934529
Lightgun2_CenterX = 0
Lightgun2_Right = 32767
Lightgun2_Top = 32767
Lightgun2_CenterY = 0
Lightgun2_Bottom = 4294934529
Lightgun3_Left = 4294934529
Lightgun3_CenterX = 0
Lightgun3_Right = 32767
Lightgun3_Top = 32767
Lightgun3_CenterY = 0
Lightgun3_Bottom = 4294934529
Lightgun4_Left = 4294934529
Lightgun4_CenterX = 0
Lightgun4_Right = 32767
Lightgun4_Top = 32767
Lightgun4_CenterY = 0
Lightgun4_Bottom = 4294934529

this is how mame handles it in the ini i tried to post the hex but my free hex editor is limited

I'd wager a VERY large bet that most of us that are into the homebrew scene, don't have lightguns because we have HDTVs (Which lightguns don't work with).

I'd love it, but due to the fact that I have an HDTV, the last lightgun I own is for Dreamcast.
