I used to have it running with some wiibar thing on Windows and using a wiimote as a light gun.. but that was a couple of years ago...

What would be the cheapest option nowadays for me to be able to play Timecrisis?

Do you mean without using a Wiimote? Because that's probably still the cheapest way. PCSX2, MAME, PSX, and VR all seem to have some options for light gun support.

I would probably work my way backwards and figure out which version of the game you want to play and what emulators will support the device you want to use. If you haven't checked it out before the Emulation Wiki is great for that.

I mean if you can find the iOS port and get that to run I assume that would be the cheapest. But of course, it's an iOS port so it's probably trash.

I should of been more specific.. i'm looking for an actual set up on a TV with some form of light gun..

I don't know if the cheapest but I use an emulator and dolphin bar to use a wiimote as my gun to play that and any other gun game. Its really the best way to do it since you can play any game that requires a gun on any tv.

Time crisis is played with the duck hunt gun?
