Light gun question-- Recoil?

<< < (2/2)

DJ_Izumi:
If you have H and V seperate, I think that circut is necessary,  The guncon only has one input for video sync data, a composite video jack, so it expects H and V to be on the same line.

However it wouldn't be necessary if you're using a third party Guncon that uses LED markers instead of cathode ray timing

Kayden:
True, but I already have two Guncon2s on hand...  I'd rather spend <$20 to get them working than to go out and pay 50+ to get one IR gun... although it seems like I may have to.  Kinda wish I kept Time Crisis 4.

Speaking of IR... what about Wiimotes?  O.O

DJ_Izumi:
I know there are BlueTooth drivers to use the wiimotes as pointers or controllers and other stuff.  I'm pretty sure you can get the Wiimote to work as a 'mouse' in a PC without any insane difficulty, though you'd need a blue tooth adaptor on the PC.

However the Wiimote itself isn't very good as a 'gun' I think.  If you have the Guncon 2 NPC-106 from Namco I say stick with it.  It's decenty well constructed for a non-arcade piece of hardware, I have three I use on PS2 games at events and they seem to survive heavy usage without any triggers failing.  Plus it has 5 buttons plus a D pad which could be handy for controlling the emulator as desired.  It wouldn't be TOO hard to find someone who could build that circut for you if you can't do it yourself.

Kayden:
How dare you question my abilities!   :angry:

 :P

I just don't want to make it and then find out it doesn't work because X or find out I can't use two guns.  That page offers no information.

The only hard part about actually making it would be finding the parts.  All I have near me is a radioshack that tends to have anything but what I need.
