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?

I captured a video for it, will take me a few minutes to compress and upload.
I tried interlaced and progressive, same issue.

Calamity, I could lend you a JammASD if you’d rather not hack in an RCA slot.
I love Point Blank.
I’m interested in Zebra’s set up. It looks perfect. I have a drawer of guncon1 and 2s from ten years ago and I got the guncon2s to work but not very well at all (Wingun, Soft15khz, winXP 32). I didn’t try a guncon alternative because back in the day I always found them inaccurate. I did once try a Wiimote/Sensor bar. It was a game of Drag the Laggy Crosshair. That put me off IR based guns as I felt the technology is just fundamentally flawed for this purpose - I think these would only work well with a full IR screen surround like the more modern arcade gun games.
The old lightguns were the ideal tech though. For a shooting gallery game like Point Blank it has to be near perfect or it’s a deal breaker. Modern guns could probably pass in something a bit less crackshot like House of the Dead.

I have some grey PS1 Guncons and a PS1 > USB adapter. Iirc I didn’t get anywhere at all with the guncon1 but I might have been missing something. Happy to test (or send to Calamity ;D ).

I have a EMS USB 2 which converts the guncon1 to guncon 2, but i'm having issues with it. It works for 3-5 seconds and then the gun stops working, even the buttons, though the led on the converter itself is still on. It may be due to how i have my sync wired up though.
