| Problem w/ Act Labs PC Light Gun (not USB) |
| (1/2) > >> |
| Dougmeister:
Bought on eBay. Non-USB version. Hooked it up, and the VGA pass-through doesn't seem to be working. I thought it would be as simple as: 1) Plug monitor into 15-pin "in" on external box 2) Plug output from box into computer 15-pin input and voila! It would allow the signal to "pass-through". (Hence the name). I haven't installed the drivers/software yet (whatever comes on the CD). Should I be concerned or is there something simple I'm missing (only works 640x480? Refresh rates? What?) It was a gift for a friend of mine. Any and all help would be deeply appreciated. Thanks. |

What operating system are you using. IIRC, those guns don't work on XP. Also IIRC, you need a serial mouse hooked up (or something like that) to make those guns work. |
| Dougmeister:
Windows 98 SE. Have a mouse hooked up. It (and the keyboard) are USB but going into PS/2 adapters. |
| Dougmeister:
(bump?) Is there at least a list of supported video cards, or recommendations? Act Labs has not exactly been the most helpful so far... |
| Chris:
Those non-USB guns aren't compatible with MAME... that's why they're all over EBay. That doesn't solve your video issue, of course, but there may not be much point in solving it if this is for MAME. The USB guns have a calibration switch on the right; the non-USB guns may have them as well. Is your screen all white when plugged into the passthrough? If so, you may be in calibration mode; check the calibration switch. --Chris |
