Does this "VGA TO ARCADE MONITOR" circuit work for regular PC monitors too?

NO! In anyway.

I am wondering how long will this question bounce :-\

Right now there isn't any perfect solution.

Actlabs guns are pretty good and playable. They are currently the most accurate. But they don't work on all arcade monitors through arcadevga but they do on some (think it might have to do with the h/v sync). They also miss a shot completely every so often (shot shows up on the corner of the screen. Not bad unless your playing a game where you get only one bullet (police trainer and some point blank scenes).

All the others for PC have their own issues. Mainly in accuracy.

I'm personally waiting for the full realtime motion / no flashing gun thats also for ps2 who said they will have a pc version for e3. Don't remember the name.

Either that or Andy is/was working on an interface for happs guns. That would be VERY cool!

Also. If anyone gets the gnu 'eyetoy' library working with mame. There is some very very cool / almost working items to go here. Basically you get a video camera to film the monitor itself. You do the ultraviolet conversion (3 bucks to do) so its an ultraviolet camera. Then you get an ultraviolet laser and put it in any gun. press the trigger and boom you have a mouse click at that location. would be very very very cool to work plug we might be able to get full tracking (with button clicks on dropping the light instead)... But we have to worry about shooting ultraviolet light at a screen that will be bounching it back at us... IE, not the best for the eyes... but if the light isn't a real laser it might not be that bad... don't know.

Anyway... I would wait before spending too much money myself.
