MAME frontend and light guns

You should probably ask your question at the forums over on the BYOAC website, but I'll chime in anyway.

Mala can do this. If you're using the AimTrak, just map your trigger button to the same button as 'launch game' in Mala.
 
At one point I wrote my own MAME frontend that worked with an Act Labs lightgun. Since that lightgun can be configured to provide a cursor location and click, it was pretty straightforward.

It was a fun setup--I had it so you could shoot the marquee of the game you wanted to play, and it would leave bullet holes too.

Do you still have a copy of that? I'd be interested in trying it out.

Or does anyone know of a frontend that allows game selection using marquee pictures? I've seen Global VR machines that use the original game font:
