Solved: Help hooking up a Playstation 2 and GunCon2 guns to a VGA monitor

EDIT:

Thanks to everyone who helped, but I no longer need the adapter as I went out and bought a 36" Sony Trinitron ($75 on craigslist) and decased it to put into my showcase cab.  I figured it is easier to output to s-video from my computer than it was going to be to convert the Guncon signal to VGA.  Thanks again.

Hi all,

I recently bought a pair of Guncon2 controllers and every Playstation 2 Guncon game.  They work great with a standard TV and composite hookup.  However, I would like to use the Playstation 2 and Gun games with my cabinet which has a 36" VGA monitor in it. (Decased Gateway Destination)

Does anyone know if there is an adapter that would take the signal from my Playstation 2 and the Guncon2 controllers and convert it to VGA and allow the guns to work?

I have searched and everything I have found has been to have the signal coming from a computer not a Playstation 2.

Thanks in advance,

Jeff

I also bought the s-video guncon2 adapter cable, so a device that translates s-video to VGA would work too.  I have found several devices that do this, but I am unsure whether the signal from the guns will be lost in the translation, that is why I am asking here for help or advice, as I would hate to buy one of the VGA adapter boxes and it not work.

Thanks

I have one of these guncon pistols and a magic vga adapter.  I'll try and get it to work with the PS1 and Time Crisis.  Not sure if it will recognize it, but better than buying the vga converter and then you find out otherwise.  Off the bat I would say EMS TopGun as an alternative, but I don't know if it works with PS2s.

I have a set of TopGuns.  I was just hoping to use the PS2 with my showcase cabinet.  If all else fails I will convert a shooting cab to use my PS2 and a 27 inch TV. 

Thanks for the help.

Oh well I hooked it up and the gun did not recognize squat.  I have a Magic Vga and a Kworld Component VGA box I use with the Xbox,PSX,DC.

I was going to try Epsxe but judging on the workarounds I'll have to pass.

At least I have the gun for the Aimtrak.  :applaud:

Sorry its bad news.  ; :cheers:
