ArcadeVGA + TV + Lightguns

[freppa]

This might be a stupid question, but I have to ask.

From what I can tell you can wire up the ArcadeVGA to a TV using RGB-inputs on the SCART, and the results are supposed to be great.

My question is: If you do this and want to get some Act-Labs lightguns for it, What kind should you get? The PC or the TV-version?

My guess would be the PC-version, but I'm not sure. Anyone running this setup???

I found this on the Act-Labs FAQ for the USB light gun...

Q: Which USB Light Gun will work with my Arcade Monitor?
A: The PC USB Light Gun will work with an Arcade Monitor as long as you have a JPAC Arcade VGA card available from www.ultimarc.com

I dont know anything about SCART TV but since it connects to RGB the same as an arcade monitor then I would assume it would work the same so you would need the PC version.  I guess you could email Act-Labs just to confirm this..

I had asked Act-Labs about this very thing and they told me I'd have to use the USB VGA (not TV) version.   If you want to use two guns this would be a problem right now as it only officially supports one gun.  However I have heard you can use two USB VGA guns with the Analog+ version of MAME. (see this thread http://www.arcadecontrols.org/yabbse/index.php?board=1;action=display;threadid=8512;start=msg65920#msg65920)

Also Act-Labs has said that a dual (two player) version of the VGA gun is scheduled to come out towards the end of this year.
