Is there a difference if I use them for Mame?

Plus from my experience they dont work well with either driver. There are still problems even with acorns driver.

And are guns costom to the TV format, or they don't care? (i.e. PAL or NTSC gun or are they all the same).

Post by: AceTKK on August 13, 2005, 08:43:04 pm: In the huge Guncon thread somebody posted that the Scorpion3 guns are awesome; very accurate and none of the "rolling-X" problem associated with the official Guncon. The problem is that they require extra power or they won't run. Somebody rigged up a circuit with a 9v battery to make the guns functional, others have just plugged them into an old/broken PS2 to power them.

I'm wondering this to. I just bought an O99L from ebay getting shipped from England. I dont know how different it is from the p99L it has the reload pedal, recoil action, and laser.

All the guns sold in the uk are PAL, but Arcade Monitors are NTSC. The guns I have tried work just fine on both.
