Does anybody have any plans for developing such a board? --- End quote --- Act Labs guns already connect directly to a PC. The issue is not the connection it's the lack of Vista drivers that work. After a year of Vista being out, still no drivers that work with it. Best Regards, Julian (Fozzy The Bear) --- End quote --- Yeah, but I also honestly don't like the look of the Act Labs gun. I would like to have the option of using the shotgun style gun, or other style guns that I see on various arcade machines. It kind of sucks when you are limited to just one or two sytles of guns and that's it. I like having a variety of items and that's why I'm just a bit shocked that nobody has developed an interface for arcade guns yet. |

Best Regards, Julian (Fozzy The Bear) --- End quote --- Awesome! I can't believe I had never heard of them before! Honestly, the price isn't that bad considering all of the options it gives you. Maybe if I get the nice pay-raise I'm hoping for it can become a part of my cab. ;D I see that the minimum resolution it works on is 640x480x60Hz, however, so I'm not sure if it will work on all of the games out there. |

AFAIK Nobody here has tried them out because of the high price. After you've bought that interface you still need to buy a set of guns. Namco Guns (new) run at about $500+ a set. Guncon2PC or Wingun may handle the input, given that these interfaces are an HID Device. However there is no guarantee that they will work, because they are designed to be used with the custom software of a new commercial cabinet design. Best Regards, Julian (Fozzy The Bear) |
