im using wingun with ONE gun and am noicing lag in HOTD2 and Mad Dog McCree. I have not tested MAME yet as caliebration has been a nightmere thus far.
Do you reccomend guncon2mouse over wingun as a single player option? What disadvantages will this give me over wingun.
Also I have a mains powered USB hub and it cuts power to the gun when both the gun and recoil function are plugged in! This is ridiclious, how much power do these things need??!!Anyone other inwah had this problem? what was the solution?
First of all: I´m sorry for WINGUN and GUNCON2MOUSE fans, I´m going to put here my honest opinion and the opinion of my PC:
WINGUN:Pros
-SUPER EASY callibration, you can set up multiple players in less than 1 or 2 minutes (I Think most people agree here)
-It doesn´t freeze my PC while configuring/calibrating a gun or playing a game.
-It is possible To play 2 Players with same gun. It can register 2 Shoots at same time (or nearly same time, I can not detect any "visual lag" here)
-Never interfere your mouse for nothing, Mouse is mouse and gun is gun
-Assign EASYLY Any key from Keyboard/Mouse to any button of your LightGun. Guncon2Mouse has the same option but has some keys less.
cons
-LAG LAG LAG LAG LAG. Where? I found it in : "Troubleshooter compatible games" and in some mame games that require a lot of my PC (Like Revolution-X). Acorns (Wingun Author) Said me that some Video Graphic´s card are the most responsible of the LAG.
GUNCON2MOUSE:Pros
-It is a MOUSE. It is like an Act Labs LightGun but with tracking and a few extras more. (ACT LABS gun has a built-in mouse driver)
-Do not expect to be more "fast" than Wingun both track at same speed in WINDOWS IMHO. But this one will NEVER experiment LAG anywhere with anygame. Ideal for "Troubleshooter compatible games", or that games that requires a lot of your Graphics card.
Cons
-Very often (to my PC) when calibrating a gun, cursor goes like crazy
-Sometimes, mouse don´t response more. It can by fixed if you go to control panel and make some Save/Refreh.
-It is not really a con....but I need 5 Minutes to calibrate a Gun.
-I Suffer a lot to calibrate 2 guns, because sometimes, one of them goes to the left edge and stay there for looong time.
*JITTERING: Is the same on both drivers. But Guncon2Mouse has an option to reduce it......IMHO I do not recommend to have less jittering, but that is a COOL option.
*FLASHING SCREEN: lol After months asking it to both autors, now it is useless, Please, keep these option enabled in further versions, we like to remember it
I just want to say that I use both of them. Do no offense anyone. And my PC is a world totally different from the others PC.Maybe It is a coincidence, but the problem that one driver has, is fixed in the other
So, you see. Sorry, but I can not recommend ONE driver. If you wants JUST ONE..... I think it depends more on the games that you like and how well the driver you choosed works with those.
About Power from USB. I Use 4 Ports of my PC. (2 for guns and the other 2 for their power) It works very Good.....Do you see what I said? Every PC is a WORLD.
For your Curiosity: I can connect my 2 guns in the 4 Xbox portcontrollers and recoil works the same than in my PC. (PS2 just have 2 USB ports)
What about to connecting the "recoil port" of your gun in a Xbox or PS2 or an external power supply?? sometimes, I do it to have more USB ports free in my PC.
SEE YOU!!!!!!!!
