downside of that would meen shelling out on a new arcadevga :/

Could they be an adapator made with the circuit in it for the voltage that connects to the vga on the card and lets the video signals pass through as normal but maybe have a cable with the phono connector on it for the sync for the gun?..

forgive me if iam talking crap as iam not very techy :)

Well yeah, that's what you'd have to do now.  It owuld be cool if it was built into the avga in future versions.  But if you currently have one you;d have to make the usual vga hack.

The J-PAC produces a 5 volt composite sync signal which is the correct level for arcade monitors. But this might be too high for the gun, which is expecting a sync derived from composite video. I have a gun on order to test with.
I think a better way would be to take the sync from before the J-PAC, using the X-OR circuit to produce composite from H and V.
I have already drawn up a simple PCB which has male/female D connectors and an X-OR circuit, and a RCA connector for the gun. If there is any demand I'll get this made, it could be used with orwithout the J-PAC.

Apologies i did not read your post properly... as it seems youve actually drawn up the plans for the said adapter i was on about.. well if you was to make them i would definately buy one..

and sir poonga is correct.. it would be a good idea to have this option built onto the arcade vga

AndyWarne:

I posted on the other thread about hooking up a gun using a regular VGA card and monitor, sending the sync through the sync chip on a J-PAC, which works.

I am wondering about the white flash. Would it not be best to do this entirely in software? When the trigger is pulled (ie button pressed), write a totally white screen?

saint:

Would someone please write up a summary of the current state with the GunCon, the various possibilities and future plans in the works, and submit it as a news item so I can put it on the front page?

Thanks!
