| Virtua Cop 3 on original XBox with EMS Top Gun 3 |

I've got an original Xbox with 128mb RAM, so it plays the Chirihiro Virtua Cop 3. It sort of works with an EMS Top Gun 3, but there are a couple of issues, so I was wondering if anyone has been able to overcome them? First, it will only output on a component cable (blank screen with a SCART cable), which means I have to play it on a plasma TV, as none of my CRTs take a component signal. So that means I have to use an EMS Top Gun 3. It calibrates OK, and the cursor tracks fine on the horizontal and vertical axes. However, when I move the gun diagonally to the corners of the screen, the cursor moves too fast. It's really strange, as the light gun tracks properly on the diagonal axes in MAME running under Coin-ops on the same XBox, so it seems like a software issue with VC3? Secondly, the game uses the left trigger to enter ES mode (slowing down time in the game), but none of the buttons on the Top Gun is mapped to the left trigger, so ES mode is unusable. Would it be possible to modify the game so that ES mode is triggered by the 'back' button instead? I know the game is playable on CXBX, but it would be great if it could run on the Xbox too! Thanks for any help or advice. I guess both of these problems could be avoided if the game could be made to output 480i on a SCART cable so it would work with a CRT and 'proper' lightgun! |

You must have a magic version of coinops if you’re happy with the light gun experience. |

Well, I said it tracks properly on the diagonals, which is what I want VC3 to do! |

Do original crt light guns work on Virtua Cop 3 on a modded Xbox? I read somewhere that they didn't which is why I never bothered trying to buy one. I know the original arcade uses a ccd / IR gun. I was wondering if it was possible to hook an original Virtua Cop 3 I/O board to the home console as at least part of it seems to be a regular USB connector. It's a shame they never made a home version as it looks like it would have been the best of the Virtua Cop games. |

At the moment, VC3 will only output via the component cables, so you'd need a CRT that would accept 480p. There aren't many of them and I don't have one. Some of the Sony BVMs do. Even then I'm not sure if it would work with a normal XBOX lightgun, or if you'd need an EMS Topgun or similar IR gun anyway. Ghost Squad does work on a 128mb XBOX with some fixes applied, and that does display on a normal CRT. However, the gun doesn't work properly. There's a whole thread on it here: https://assemblergames.com/threads/chihiro-on-xbox.26483/ It will tell you pretty much everything you need to know about Chihiro on XBOX. At the moment, the CXBX emulator is the best way to play VC3 with a lightgun. It's a really good game. |
