Guncon2 on latest Groovymame?
Calamity:
How is the gun supposed to be connected? I've seen that it has a yellow rca connector.

Real light gun games already have the white flash when you pull the trigger.
The issues that some have described seem to be with trying to play non-lightgun games like T2 with a light gun.
Personally, I like to use the right type of gun for each game (where possible). I have directional guns for T2 and Op Thunderbolt etc, I have light guns for Op Wolf and Time Crisis and an Aimtrak for IR gun games like Teraburst and most Sega gun games.
If the goal is to have one gun for all games, I think Guncon 3 drivers would make most sense. It's the only semi accurate home IR gun currently available.

My vga to scart cable has a 1k resistor on h+v lines, i connected a female rca socket to pin 20 and 17.
This worked for me. I know it was common back in the day to build a circuit that converts the sync to csync, but this was unnecessary for me.

Since your monitor is probably 100hz, that would explain why it works for you. I highly suggest you install the topgun driver if you need x64 support. I'm using
a regular 60hz crt sony tv. This will also explain why you have a bad experience with 3rd party guns, they suck at 100hz, but work damn good on a regular 60hz crt.

My monitor is not 100hz. I have two flat CRT tri-sync arcade monitors (no image processing) and an old Sony Trinitron. It works well on all of them. I've only had issues with 3rd party guns. Issues like poor accuracy and jumping crosshairs. I have 4 official Namco guns and they are all solid.

Please elaborate, how exactly are you connected? what OS? crtemudriver? Csync or straight from h+v? Which drivers?
As far as i know, only wingun supports the official guncon2 but still has issues.

The problem is that the flash that happens in the game is too late. Timing is very important with the flashing, so it's necessary that the flash happens as fast as possible without any delay from the emulator itself.
