I'm really curious about this as well I saw those on ebay but poster said he didn't know if they were compatible with windows so I passed on it. If they do work with windows I'd jump on it because I already have two guns sitting around here it would be a nice cheap fix.

I'll have to check my mame config when I get home, but in WinXP, it's recognized right away and you can go into the game controller section (in windows control panel) and calibrate it.  The + moves with the gun like you're calibrating a joystick.

I'll post my config when I get a chance...right now it's in my cab and my mobo died suddenly.  Maybe I can move the board/gun to another pc with a crt vga monitor......


Siris:
bkenobi: Yes it does appear that the usb2gun is actually the optigun, besides the obvious similarities and the fact that Foley sold out to Global VR if you look closely at both boards they both are made by Spud Logic.

Also when dmarcum99 mentioned that it moves the + in windows controller setup just like a joystick, that is exactly how the Optigun was advertised to operate.
From the Optigun User Guide found here:

http://nanotechent.s3.amazonaws.com/support/OptiGun-User-Guide.pdf

"The Optigun adapter ia a USB HID device and requires no special software or drivers to operate. Each Gun shows up as a Microsoft 16 Button Joystick. The X,Y coordinates of the GUN aim is returned as the X,Y value of the joystick. The inputs are mapped to the joystick buttons.

If anyone knows where to get one of these besides from Global VR I would love to know!
