When you fire an infra red beam is sent between the stands and thats how it calculates where you have shot... --- End quote --- I believe the stands are simply infra red sources - they don't communicate with the PC at all. A camera built in to the gun passes data to the pc. Not sure how much processing is done "in the gun" it could have chip that makes a numereical reading based on the different LED sources, or it literally could be a usb camera for infra red passing the image to the PC. The driver then process this image/data, and calulates the position based on the calibration info. There is a Gun2mouse util available on the LCDgun site, so using that you (presumably) can use the gun as a mouse. I imagine this is how mame will see it (although I could be wrong), and certainly several light gun games (non-mame). Other games may need 3rd party patching (I seem to recall a program designed to make act-labs guns work on games like PC HOTD around - intruder?something beginning with I anyway.) |
