Has anyone tried to use an adapter like this: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=41059&item=8179099520&rd=1 and use playstation guns for you mame cab? They are already designed to be used with tvs, so maybe they would work. |

they dont work with light guns. The screen refresh is very different. you need optics per screen type. |

Also, Playstation 2 already has usb lightguns so there would be no need for the adapter. I've always wondered myself why a driver could not be written for the namco guncon (for example) since it is usb already. And if we used TV-out on our computers it seems to me like it could be done. BUT I have no knowledge of this sort of thing, so I really don't know if it can be done or not. I'm guessing it can't be done. |
| Lilwolf:
you might be able to write one that works with a TV since the optics/circuits would be setup for the tvs refresh rate. So you wouldn't really be helping everyone out. The better one might be a dreamcast -> usb lightgun solution since they both will work on all tvs and vga monitors. Plus they are strong enought to pick up gray shades (where act labs flashes pure white) |

There are guns for PS2 that are designed to work with HDTV's. Wouldn't those technically be able to work with the refresh rate of a vga monitor as well, providing a driver could be written? |
