Act-Lab's TV gun to support 2 players?
rampy:
Heh, after you try out the "quote" feature, also try out the "modify" feature of the message board.... unless you are trying to crank up your post count =P
They mighta just updated the site so they can switch to their new pricing scheme (the introductory price for the regular PC usb light guns is OVER!)
=P
RAmpy
EDIT1: well look at this http://www.act-labs.com/scripts/proddetails.asp?pid=132
Notes:
o Will not work with LCD/Plasma TVs or computer monitors
o Only one light gun can be used at a time
o Calibration required only once, unless light gun is re-connected
o Can be connected to TVs with Composite video input through supplied adapter
emphasis mine... wtf?! even act-labs posts conflicting info.... *Shrug*

I know rampy, this makes things terribly confusing, but I mentioned that the in depth description says that. My guess is because It IS the same old content for that page as always, I think they have yet to change alot of things. Hey I think I saw the name rampy somwhere... was it the MAMEWorld forums or Act-Labs? And rampy, if you didn't relize I was refering to the page before that one in a brief description (the page had the PC USB Light gun, the TV Usb Light gun, and Maddog 1+2) Oh, sorry for not qouteing I am not used to this forum, I frequent at MAME.net recently and other places where such qouting is usually unnessisary because of the whole "reply to a reply" thing, does that have a formal name?
unclet:
I called Act-Labs today and was inform the new TV USB guns will come with the newer hardware to allow two gun to be used at the same time. However, they informed me they need to get the software in Mame updated to support this. They told me it is strictly a software thing in order to get dual player light gun games working.
Basically, I can get my one pre-ordered TV lightgun and play games until Mame is updated with dual Act-Labs light gun support, and then simply buy another Act-Lab TV gun tohave more fun.

Siris:
Well, I guess the 2 player TV thing is official and it's also possible to use a VGA gun with a TV gun for 2 players, BUT I have yet to see anything saying anything about 2 player with 2 VGA guns! :(
That is what I and I'm sure many other are concerned about.
