Light gun with TV...any progress?
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.

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.
