I've seen a number of videos on light gun only setups of Retrobat. Is there an advantage to a light gun only setup or is it just a preference some have?

I suppose if all you like are gun games, then that is all you need right? A place in Australia makes gun game cabinets - https://xtremegamingcabinets.com.au/presta17/32-lightgun-cabs

Then again if it was me, and I had the space, I'd get a dedicated multigame gun game cab, a couple side-by-side networked driving cabinets, an arcade cabinet, a pinball cabinet, you know - keep them all together. It's much easier to set up when the controls for all the games are identical for all the other installed games and you just can't beat a driving wheel and shifter with 3 panoramic screens for that immersive experience. Also I read some light guns are recommended to be on their own USB bus - so if you're short on usb ports that might be an issue.

Hello...

I would say, in any case, no.
Because
- we can't guarantee what is inside these builds, and specifically the executable in there
- most of the pre build version are created with the 5.3 RetroBat version, which wasn't optimised for lightguns. Now, the V6 version is ready for lightguns, with specific options.
