Light gun with TV...any progress?

(1/2) > >>

Mannix2:
Haven't been redaing the boards in a while, I know Act labs has the USB gun, but only works with monitor.  Has there been any progress with a light gun working with a TV.  Thanks.

Banacek:
I don't know about the act labs gun, but I have a psx Guncon that I think is possible to hook up to the computer. I just can't find out any of the details about it. If anyone knows anything, let me know. Thanks!

EDIT: I  found this page:

But I can't find any info about actually wiring it up to the parellel port.

tom61:
You're supposed to wire it up using the Directpad Pro schematic to the parallel port.

Howard_Casto:
You should realize that unless things have changed, so far no one has ever successfully gotten a console gun to work on the pc, even through direct pad pro.

Unless this particular utility does something special I doubt it's possible.  

Dave_K.:
Hmm...I don't see why the guncon2 shouldn't work on the PC.  It can calibrate on progressive displays (640x480 non-interlaced).  I guess it would just come down to writing the usb driver for it, and using a video card which outputs a composite signal (video input to the gun) at the same time as displaying 640x480 on a computer monitor.  In theory it should work.  I know the original guncons won't work with progressive displays.
