Lightgun for LCD, Plasma, Widescreen, 100Hz announced!
(1/6) > >>
b3atmania:
I came across this lightgun. They claim it works with plasma, widescreen, 100Hz overscan, LCD, TFT displays.

The site is vague about how it actually works, but it seems to work independant from the display type and size. It is likely to use some kind of tracking sensor(s) around the display area. Hopefully it does not require the eye-straining screen flash when you fire.

The gun identifies itself as a HID (Human Interface Device) and is compatible with existing USB mouse drivers. It should work well for MAME.

Apart from its technical promise, the gun doesn't look half bad as well: a black Time Crisis-style gun that doesn't look too much like a toy.

The only thing that could make this product better is a translation box that converts the USB signal to the console gun protocols, such as Guncon 2.

Very interesting...
HOW MUCH!?!? I will definately be interested if it will work with MAME (As I'm assuming it would as it works like a mouse)

Looks like a nice style too...

well.... per the PDF info

It says that it interfaces as a USB mouse.... soo...... hummm..

Also says something about recoil action....double hummmm...
TheTick:
If its motion sensor, calibration and accuracy must be a ---smurfette---. Hopefully its not just translating the degree of tilt like the Gyration Mouse (uses a gyroscope).

First half of 2004, huh? I guess the real question is can you get two of them to work at a time with Mame Analog+ (or is it Analog+ Mame???)
