It sounds like you'll be needing that mod :)

brandon:
according to the link I posted above.. pin 3 carries the luminance and the sync.. so in theory you could connect the s-video from PC to TV as normal and tap off of that pin and connect it to the Guncon2. of course the guncon would also have to be grounded so I'm guessing that would be pin 1 according to the pinout.. I really hate to cut up an S-video cable just to try this... :-\ ???

1 Y ground
2 C ground
3 Y (luminance+sync)
4 C (crominance)

Billkwando:
Perhaps just buy some s-video jacks from radio shack and make a quick passthrough box out of an old box of BBs?

IntruderAlert:
I'd like to know if you will be able to use 2 guns at the same time
and also for sure if it will work with ArcadeVGA

disneysw:

You are correct, you can tap the sync off the S-Video straight in the G-Con connector and pin 1 is ground.

The driver does NOT have a thirty day limit, that's just for the dev kit.

As for me, I downloaded the driver earlier tonight and have the gun registered with windows (note you have to use the batch file installer and I for some reason I had to modify it under WinXP to get it to install correctly). I had hoped it was possible to use the composite video out on the ArcadeVGA to drive the GCON but the drivers don't seem to allow it to be enabled. I should have know this as the modes are not standard TV resolutions. This means I'll need to create a special cable to extract the SYNC's. Thankfully the ArcadeVGA always uses negative going SYNC pulses so it would be easy if I had two small caps and a spare VGA cable. None of the buttons work yet but that could be because the gun is not detecting a sync input - let you know how I get on.

PS, I am using a D9200 monitor - have to see what happens with that!
