What's the low-down on lightguns in emulators?

[JadussD]

Anyone know anything about this? I saw a "Lightgun" option in Mame that seemed to imply it was for a PC light gun, would I be able to use one in MAME? How about an NES emulator? I wanna play Duck Hunt but my NES is long dead :|

I have a hacked Xbox and a lightgun, and I've played Snatcher with the lightgun. I also played Duck Hunt and Hogan's Alley with it. Now I don't know if that's strictly a feature of the Xbox ports, but I doubt it.

Y'know, the dog has to be the best videogame character ever. No villain or hero is as liked/hated as him.
