So the Namco one I have is not 3rd party, am I right?
Foxhole:
If it's a namco official gun then no.
But if you are using a 100hz crt then it may work.
It's not that the gun doesn't work, it does work, but for some reason it works as if it's connected to a 100hz crt.
I'd still advise you to try it.

Guncon2 is what most of us have, it's arguably the most precise and best lightgun made for the consumer market. If that only works with third party guns that's already a pretty severe limitation in of itself. :/

I honestly think you're exaggerating, i own 3 official guncon2, 2 g-con45, and many third party guns. And i tried them all, the guncon 2 and g-con 45 are pretty much on the same league, and as far as third party guns, well that depends on the manufacturer but except for 2 third party guns that gave me issues, most of them worked great. the biggest difference i found with the third party guns was how much light was needed for them to be accurate. Granted, the third party guns did need a higher brightness but if we're using them on a pc that will allow us to flash the screen, then there's probably a way for us to choose how bright the flash will be.
Third party guns are still available for sale on ebay and such.
As far as official guncons working on pc, just because there isn't a definitive fix for the rolling x that doesn't mean there won't be.

I haven't had time to try the gun yet, I need to figure out how to wire the sync line into the rca, I was going to try this with my cabinet so I guess I should wire it from jamma's pin 13 which already is c-sync. I'm afraid to short the JPAC if not done properly.
I've been thinking of the rolling-x issue. You said the gun sets itself for 100 Hz. How does it look when that happens? I've never tried this so I'd like to know how it is so I can recognize it when I see it.
I wonder if the issue has to do with the gun expecting interlaced video from the Playstation 2 and being confused by progressive video from MAME. Have you tried the Namco gun with interlaced video?
