Act-Labs Light Gun /ArcadeVga /D9200 issue finally resolved!
(1/1)
AndyWarne:
A few people have had problems getting the D9200 with ArcadeVGA to work with the Act-Labs gun.
I finally have an explanation as to why most people have this working but a small minority have problems. The issue is this:
P1279201 Video/Sync input board for the D9200.  The older Rev. B version did not work with the Act-Lab light gun but the newer Rev. D version is fine.
Wells-Gardner tech support are aware of this issue. The boards can be upgraded but there are many components to change. I expect W-G would be able to do some kind of swap-out, but I would not think, or expect, them to do it without charge, as it's not really a defect in the design but a compatibility issue.

Well, I'm glad we at least know why some D9200's doesn't like the AVGA card.

I'm not sure a board swap to enable a $35 light gun is a good investment, but if I get desparate to shoot something (virtually, of course) I may have to contact Wells Gardner and see what we can work out.

How can we tell what revision our D9200's are?
KevSteele:
DeathMonk,

I'm pretty sure the Revision is marked on the boards - I know I have a Rev. B boardset, as I originally had a Rev. C set (which also has the lightgun problem) and got a Rev. B set of boards when my original boards died.

I can't get access to the back of my D9200 right now, as it's bolted into my cab, but if you can take a look at the boards themselves and I'm sure you'll find the revision marked somewhere.
