| Betson, ARCADEVGA and ActLabs Lightgun question |
| (1/1) |
| jsansoterra:
I have a Betson monitor and ARCADE VGA video card. I want to get a few lightguns to use with MAME. I notice that ACTLABS no long makes the PC USB light gun. There is, however, a TV USB Lightgun still available. Will the TV USB Lightgun work with my setup? Thanks! |
| dabone:
Short answer. NO. Later, dabone Long answer, The tv lightguns only work with svideo, your monitor only supports pure rgb. |
| jsansoterra:
okay thanks! I thought they might plug into the SVIDEO outout of the ARCADEVGA and get a 'copy' of the signal from there. Thanks again! |
| Silver:
Alas no, the way actlabs guns work means they need access to the signal that actually ends up on the screen, not just a copy.... This is because they alter the signal when you pull the trigger (they turn the whole screen completely white momentarily). There's a company who have recently released a lightgun for the xbox/ps2 and are thinking about releasing it for the PC - someone from the company posted here on a thread asking about mame. E-real games or something. Anyway, if they make a pc version, I imagine it would work with your setup as it uses a camera you setup at the top of your monitor. No white flashes either.... |

Okay, that makes sense now. Thanks for the help guys! |
