I'm worried that the lightgun won't work through my glass bezel. I've written to Act Labs with my query, but they say that they haven't tested it, and therefore cannot guarentee it will work :'( Can any of you people here with the techy know-how tell me if this will work or not? My first guess would be yes - but if the glass is in sunlight, then the reflection would effect the gun performance. Also the glass might slightly tint the bright white flash. So my second guess would be maybe not. Anyone got any ideas? :-/ |

I really wish they would switch to sonic technology... you simply don't have all of these display problems or multi device conflicts. You can point the thing at a friggin wall and as long as the referece points are on that wall it will register. Why was actlabs so short-sighted as to ignore this method? To add two player support all they would have had to have done would be to add a "mode 2" to the guns which would send an alternate code set to the reciever. I'm well aware of the drawbacks involving "signal bounce" but it's no worse than the problems light guns have regarding reflections. |

The sonic method had a L shaped bar that goes over the monitor... that kinda sucks... and it probably wont work with a glass bezel... but you can but it over it. I asked Branden... he said that he liked the technology and they are interested in looking into it... btw, he was the one who told me it used sonic technology. So he knows more about it then I do. btw, I'm going to try it tonight, but the old guns used a mouse driver to get them to work in mame... I wonder if it works better now.. If it does, it might be a great solution for people on a budget.. will report tomorrow (hopefully) |

Well it would be if the drives were updated, it won't work on xp. Most people are making the switch too, I wish somone would write new drivers for it. |
