How to connect dual Act Labs light guns?
« on: November 08, 2004, 05:44:41 pm »
I've done searches and looked through the faqs and have seen a lot of stuff about dual light guns, but I haven't seen anything about how to hook them up at the same time.

I assume you would daisy chain the video connectors together (i.e plug the monitor into one gun, plug that gun into the monitor plug on the other gun and then plug the last gun into the computer).  And then plug both USB connectors into the computer.  Maybe I'm just missing something but I can't find this spelled out anywhere in the documentation for the guns (They are the USB TV guns) or online and I don't want to mess anything up since they cost me a pretty penny.

Any help from anyone who has done this would be greatly appreciated!!

P.S. is this the same for the PC guns (of which I only have 1 and it doesn't look like I'll be able to afford another one any time soon!)?

Plug in both guns (daisy chain) into S-Video out on your PC, then plug in the S-video cable going to your TV.
