Important Notes:
Lightgun driver was created using an Interact Starfire Lightblaster. This means that I do not know if it works with other Lightguns so feedback on this would be nice.

When loading from the VMU, it must be present in port A. However, it can be in any slot of the peripheral. It just needs to be connected to port A right now.

The Lightgun driver is not fully complete as there is still some small issues with it. It has to do with the number of peripherals connected to the maple bus. From testing it appears it does not work as well with only one peripheral connected to the maple bus. So if you have a second controller or even a third, connect these for a more satisying experience. It should work fine with just two peripherals connected to the first two ports. However just to note, you can still play with just the one controller connected.

Again on the lightgun, the X/Y coordinates have been calibrated using my own TV and VGA set so there is a possibility the accuracy may be different for other users.

When starting a game, the VMU can be swapped for a Puru Puru pack. When the level is complete, or the "GAME OVER" message is displayed, you can swap back in the VMU to save your Hi-Score, if you wish to do so.

Currently only One Level. Creating 3D levels can take a while :)

Feedback is welcome
