1. Your welcome, I try to give back where I can..
2. Well right now I don't have a cabinet, I wish I did!! My wife wont let me right now due to financial reasons
. So I have a "mini-cade" for all my EMU gaming. It's basicly an old NES converted to a PC, just to run EMUs.
Here is a link to a slide-show of my setup. I have two controllers for use with it. A
Xbox 360 corded controller and a
MK fight stick. Depending what I am playing, I choose the controller..

I don't have a steering wheel setup or anything like that. Just those two controllers for gaming.
3. As far as Light gun, I'm working on that...
There are options you can
buy, but will set you back $100+, and they sadly don't sell them anymore for PCs. The other option, which I hope to do next, is to take an old NES Zapper and stick a Wii-mote into it and make it work with the PC. Since there are programs to make the Wii-mote replace your mouse. So it would be basically like clicking on the guys on the screen, but have the same feeling as a light gun. If that makes sense..
