Guncon2 and Guncon3 windows driver

[sonik]

I've made POC windows drivers for the Guncon2 and Guncon3.

Works on Windows 10 and does not requires disabling driver signature.

Guncon2 does not have the "rolling x" problem with this driver.

It's based on the research and documentation done by beardypig.

For the guncon2 to work correctly it's desirable to have a screen flasher and I have no idea how to do this.
If any dev wants to jump in and help please let me know.

Project is here:
https://github.com/sonik-br/GunconUSB

Inside there's links for the original linux versions by beardypig.

Nice! some questions about the guncon2 driver:
- Can two guns be used for 2 player games?
- Does it work with games' native flashing? I remeber you got this working with the guncon1.
- The flasher, you might want to talk to burn_654. He made a flasher years ago, and a circuit that sends a key instead of trigger, some delay, and trigger.

It does work with games that have native flasher like time crisis.

Driver made for one gun only Might be possible to add 2 player mode in the future.
I'm currently not working on this driver anymore as without a flasher its impossible to play the majority of games.

I tested the linux driver and it works good!
And since it's a real kernel driver so it might just work with any number of guncons.

This is fantastic, exactly what i was hoping to find one day!!

I still have loads of CRTs and loads of light guns, i will be dead long before i have to waste my time with sensor bar or Sinden style guns.

I have a pc with windows 10 and crt emudriver connected to a crt tv by a vga-component video converter. I also have a pistol compatible with guncon 1 and 2. I would like to try to test this driver. Could someone give a mini tutorial for a newbie on how to do it? Which emulator should I use, if I only need to connect the pistol's usb cable, if I need any more applications...

Hi. I tried to build a new version but it not worked. It depends on Tetherscript's virtual joystick and mouse, and it have changed. I need to fix the code.
I will try to do this over the coming weeks.
And keep in mind that it's not a polished application/driver.

If you want to test.

Download and install vjoy from https://sourceforge.net/projects/vjoystick/
Go to github download and install my guncon2 driver.
Use the attached app. It requires dot net framework 4.5.

Hi Sonik,

A friend of mine and me are testing your driver and we have a couple of questions..

We've installed vJoy, WinUSB drivers and the theter driver.  After the installation of the drivers we run your tool and the Guncon2 moves the mouse pointer and we can check the guncon2 buttons on your tool, but outside your tool, the lightgun buttons don't work as mouse buttons/key strokes or gamepad buttons.
We can see on the control panel a Guncon and a Vjoy device but neither of those are gamepads

Is there any step that we forgot to do? What is the correct steps to install your driver?

In another hand we detect in dark zones of the CRT TV the driver works worst.. is this correct?

Thanks in advanced

I am the other interested party, it only remains to add that guncon2 appears in the device panel as if the driver was not installed correctly.
It appears with the typical icon as if it was not recognized by Windows.

@GustavoALara
The tool must be kept open for the mouse to move.
And yes, the gun can't detect darker areas. CRT lightgun games uses brighter images or does a "fast white flash" when you pull the trigger, so the gun can detect.

Installed the driver from github?
