The Namco gun is different to most because it uses a number of sensors mounted around the screen edge. There is a disadvantage of having to mount the sensors but the advantages would be worth it, because there would be no need for any white flash when firing, and a mouse cursor would follow the gun around the screen if visible, ie in Windows. I will be starting to look at this in a couple of weeks. Andy Warne --- End quote --- I'd like to voice my impatience. It almost makes me happy that I can't afford to blow 200$ on two act-labs VGA guns on ebay. This new type of gun interface is excellent, and I'm holding my breath (and money) for someone to release something like it. Thanks, Joseph Elwell |

I found this website are these the parts you are referring to regaring sesors around the screen? http://www.coinopexpress.com/products/parts/shooting_parts/ |

Hey, ive had this thread bookmarked for quite some time. Just wanted to know if there has been any developements between November and now, especially since Andy mentioned he was researching the issue. Not trying to whine or demand anything, just want to know if anything is in the works. :) Also, if such a gun interface were to be completed, wheres the best place to buy namco recoil guns? Coinopexpress sells the pair for $295, but Betson wants $520 for each gun!!! :o |
