Act Labs "Raygun" TV-Out Version...
« on: June 03, 2017, 07:03:32 pm »
Hello everyone!

As I've gained more interest light gun shooters, I went ahead and ordered the "TV-out" version of the Act-Labs guns, as shown here:

Since it technically supports composite output, which my CRT TV is capable of (but no S-video port on it), will the gun still work with my laptop by connecting it to my TV with some kind of adapter (like VGA to S-video)? The laptop is an Asus X555UB and doesn't have an S-video port inside it. Its graphics card is an NVIDIA GeForce 940M (which is fairly recent actually), running on 64-bit Windows 10.  I am aware of the VGA version of the gun though, which is supposed to only work with PC CRTs, but I want to use a TV.

I have the Ultimarc AimTrak for use on my LCD screens, which is pretty decently accurate despite that you may need to use a crosshair on most games, but I am wanting the more pixel-perfect CRT experience, and was hoping I didn't waste my money on the "wrong variant" of these guns. :)
