Hello I noticed not many ZX Spectrum Emulators have a Lightgun controller for ZX Spec games that are dependent on the Lightgun. I know that James Bond Action Pack contains around 3 Lightgun games and more from other publishers back in the 1980s. EmuZWin appears to have a Lightgun emulated for ZX Lightgun games and of course using the actual lightgun for the real ZX Spectrum 2A for those games work only on CRT TVs which are generally now obsolete.

Maybe FUSE for maybe Windows or Ubuntu should have the Lightgun controller option.

    Do we know much about how the lightgun works? I could find nothing about this on the net so I actually went and bought one a little while ago, but I've not had time to investigate it yet.

    Well its like the NES Zapper. I dont think I could find the Source code from EmuZWin that used the Lightgun Interface emulation.

    Also that Speccy Emulator by Marat Fayzullin appears to have Magnum Light Phaser lightgun support, which doesn't appear to be supported for Fuse. According to his website, " If your company considers using ZX Spectrum emulation in its products, you can license the Speccy source code from me."

    Speccy Emulator is good but the sound buffer and quality isn't good.
