We are taking a look at adding Area 51 gun support to the firmware now. --- End quote --- Not sure I understand that, from what I can tell from the Happ site: http://www.happcontrols.com/amusement/optical/96067000.htm The guns interchange with a simple dongle to change connectors. So why would that need a firmware revision? I haven't been around in years but just picked up an Area 51 Site 4 cab got it working beautiful with soft15khz, I was just getting my Act labs gun working on my VGA monitor to try on the 25". So happened upon this thread, That adapter would be awesome for me, would love to see these Site 4 guns put to good use. BTW: is the shoot off screen to reload in Area 51 working? --- End quote --- We have had problems with the Area 51 guns and our OptiGun Controller. We are looking into upgrading the firmware to support the gun. There is no documentation available from Happ, so we are reverse engineering the gun to see why it generates a different output signal than the standard light guns. When you compare the basic output of the Area 51 Gun to that of the standard guns, it's very different. We have both and will have an update for them soon. |

Hi Dave, 1. will the OptiGun work with the original Namco Time Crisis III Guns too? 2. on the OptiGun datasheet only 5 resolutions are listed to be working... does this mean that we'll have to force light gun games to work stretched at one of those resolutions? or will they work at their native resolutions? (i.e. operation wolf works @ 320x240, point blank is 288x224, jurassic park is 416x224, and so on...) 3. if we buy an OptiGun now, will we be able to upgrade its firmware in the future? ...and were will we find firmware upgrades? 4. HAPPY NEW YEAR! :cheers: |

David, have you targeted a release date for the Sonic system? Shoegazer |
| davidrfoley:
Sorry, we don't set target release dates on engineering projects as it only makes for disappointments if something goes wrong. Since we are creating a bunch of hardware, software and DSP code from scratch we can't give a release date. I can tell you that we have a prototype board up and running with the sensor circuitry all powered. We are in the DSP portion of the project now. |

Hey David, You need someone "out of house" to help debug/beta test the Optigun board? Like I said I have a working Area 51 Site 4 cab that I swap to a Mame cab just by swapping the monitor cable and unplugging the jamma board. I sent you a PM. Troy |
