Hmm, hackable? :) Mad Catz has announced that their new Xbox lightgun, simply called 'Blaster', will be compatible with SEGA's House of the Dead 3, alaying fears that the game would launch without a compatible gun. "As the leading designer of innovative accessories, Mad Catz has expanded its line of peripherals to include the first-to-market light gun for Xbox," cooed Darren Richardson, President and COO of Mad Catz, Inc. "The Mad Catz Blaster is the first gun for any console to incorporate a `Shotgun' firing mode, enabling players to fire five rounds at a time. We anticipate great success for Mad Catz' Blaster and SEGA's `The House of the Dead 3,' both of which use next generation technology." Quite. The Mad Katz Blaster is out to coincide with the launch of House of the Dead 3 in January next year priced around |

I know it has some extra voltage for the vibrations and stuff. I thought USB devices are inherently incredibly complex(i.e. they have a microprocessor *shudder*). Gun looks pretty sweet, though. |

NO :P Ps2 controllers has USB connections(some) and wont ever work on a PC. X-box controllers have their own connecter. |
| Dave_K.:
The PS2 Guncon2 is also USB. Of course someone would have to write the USB driver for it. I've herd of people who are working on a usb driver for the xbox joystick, so it sounds possible someone could do the same for the guncon2 (or Madcatz Xbox gun). BTW: these guns work in both 15khz and 31.5khz modes. |
