Has anyone ever been able to confirm or deny the ability to connect an ActLabs TV gun to a component hookup?  (Apparently green is the connection at question.)  I've got to assume it's not possible, because if it was, wouldn't ActLabs be all over that, and list it as a connection option?

I've been wondering this too.  Not only has no one confirmed it works, but no one has even reported trying it.  :banghead:
Silver:
the gun will only read the syncs of the composite/s-video connector it is hooked up to. The green cable has probably been suggested due to "syncs-on-green" being common for RGB component.

For component usually used on TV's which is Y-Pb-Pr, you want to hook the gun up to the Y (luminence) channel.

As far as I can see, it will work so long as the syncs are roughly compatible with s-video, so it probably depends what resolution etc... the component video is at.

Sounds promising...can you hook yours up and let us know if it works?  ;D

Ahofle,

Once again, many thanks.  I hate to sound as ignorant as I am related to this topic, but does the troubleshooter also help with MAME?  If so, how does one keep it running in the background.  Seems like when I configured mine it closed the window and stopped running (but could just be my lack of knowledge).

I am at that point where I am going to have to ask for help.  I have things pretty good on MAME, but I cannot seem to get the crosshair to move correctly.  I am using MAME32FX version .109 and have made the adjustments in the article above on how to set the guns up.  the cross hair does move, but it seems very slow in registering shots (or doesn't put the crosshair exactly on tartget, etc)..   Is there something else within MAME (via TAB key) that I also need to fix?

Thanks ahead of time for the help y'all!
