Has anyone tried, been succesfull, or seen anyone interfaceing a PS1 or PS2 light gun to a PC and using them in mame? It certainly seems "do-able" to me. Especially the PS2 since the PS2 uses standard USB drivers. It would seem to me that a PC might detect a PS2 light gun as a ligth pen. Has anyone tried this? Any advice? Please don't tell me to just go get an ActLab gun. They are too ugly, too expensive, and I'm using a TV not a VGA monitor. |

You do realize you are contradicting yourself right? You said it can't be done and then you ive me a link to a product that interfaces PS1 controllers to a PC that claims to work with any PS1 controller. Also the light states: --- Quote ---Also, this adapter allows Playstation light guns to be used with the Playstation 2 - play Guncon2 games with older light guns. --- End quote --- That would suggest to me that the PS2 uses the same USB drivers as the PC. Which would mean I should be able to use a PS2 gun with my PC with little to no problem. Even if I need the driver for it I'm sure I can get it from somewhere. |

USB is an interface to the system (not a driver) it doesn't provide compatibility with differing hardware...just because you can sew a monkey heart into a human body (same interface) that doesn't mean it will keep on pumpin' (too many low level hardware differences). Won't work! And don't be nasty to Snaaake...he provided you with a link he thought might be useful (it's not the lightgun function is only to adapt ps1 guns to ps2 not a pc...read carefully), and when he said no you can't he was right! Please, feel free to prove me wrong... ;) You won't... |
