1) It's fine to wire the button outside, you won't risk anything for the wires for the switch. Your computer is pretty enclosed inside the UAII cabinet. 2) I've commented a ton on these, do some searches, you will see my feeback. I have 2 guncon2 guns that work great with mame. I've tested just about all the configs. I personally dislike the LCD topgun, and yes i have used one. It's not nearly as good as the guncon2 guns when properly configured. There is no substitute for a true light gun. Seach for "wingun" "smog driver" and "guncon". 5) http://www.chokes.com/Speaker_Grill_Index.htm These are some of the best grilles you can get, nice and small. I built my own UAII cabinet using the plans. Those grills are a perfect fit. |

They connect via the PS2 to USB Adapter to the computer, but what about the video connection? I'm using s-video and it looks like the guns want a composite connection? Or can those hook up directly to the TV? Also...UG...my Happ order just shipped, and I forgot to add the momentary switch =( Anyone know of a place that sells these? Happs has a $25 minimum order, and I don't need anything else from there. Thanks, John |

I've used Official Namco Guncon2 and i've used Yobo Generic Guncon2 cons. Both guns have a USB connection that plugs directly into the computer. For video connection, you either need to create a y-cable and provide a composite input to your guns, or you can use a pass-through output found on most tv's. I use the output on my TV for the guns and i have s-video from my video card to the TV, so no signal conversion/loss. Works great. Basically the guns just need to see the video signal, whether it's directly from the video card or an output from the TV, either way works. |

Also, does anyone have a tutorial showing me how to hook up the coin door buttons to the PC, so that when pressed they give a credit? I have plenty of old keyboards lying around... |
