"relegated" seems like the wrong word - the best ones IMO were the later arcade versions like Gunblade NY (pivot mounted machine gun style) or the Time Crisis series (big foot pedal to take cover) with special hardware that would be too expensive for home sales.

There were home console versions of most of the Time Crisis games on PlayStation consoles. I think the 3rd and 4th games were on PS3 along with light guns. There were probably about 10-15 games on each console (PS1/PS2/PS3) which supported light guns. Although I don't think the home console versions had foot pedals, instead using a button or gun movement to achieve the same thing.

Some dedicated players with soldering irons may have hooked up a simple pedal switch across the gun's "cover" switch. Omg how I loved Time Crisis and arcades in general. Sigh.

I played a Time Crisis on the ps3 using a gun handle attachment for the ps move [1].

Tbh I don't remember if it had a cover option or not.

You could buy third party guns that had pedals though. I had one that also came with a cool realistic moving thing at the top that made cool shooting sounds when you pulled the trigger....and gave you a massive headache after a while.
