OK - I have searched the threads and the net regarding using a guncon2 gun with mame on the pc.....however I am still confused. From what I have found teh guncon 2 gun IS NOT yet compatible with a CRT monitor? You HAVE TO use an arcade monitor or a television? Is this correct? If not can someone please help me find the information to use with a CRT monitor? Thanks |

'Out of the box' this is correct. But..... They can and do work on crt's if you use a device to halves the syncs of your vga signal. So you have a VGA signal going to the PC monitor as normal, but you take the syncs, process them, and feed them to the guns. On the guncon2 forum I belive there is a circuit posted which you can build with cheap components that will do this. People have done this and reported success. If you happen to own a Jpac, this already has a chip that does this exact process so you can use the output of that instead (although if you have a jpac you probably have an arcade monitor anyway). I'm currently doing exactly the same myself, just need time to solder on connectors and I should be there. |

Barr, do you know what a CRT is? It means "Cathode Ray Tube". A TV uses a CRT. An arcade monitor uses a CRT. A PC monitor uses a CRT. So maybe you'd like to re-word what you really mean...? |

"From what I have found teh guncon 2 gun IS NOT yet compatible with a CRT PC monitor?" And yes I know what CRT means. BTW, thanks for the useful reply Silver. The only circuit I have seen says it is a conversion from a VGA signal for an arcade monitor, not for a PC CRT monitor. Is it the same circuit? Thanks |

Forgo one other question.... Will the light guns work through tinted plexi? |
