GunCon2 on PC-monitor
Silver:
The circuit has nothing to do with the monitor or the signal getting to it.
The whole point of the circuit is to allow the guns - which are designed to only work with 15Khz composite sync devices, such as a playstation - to work while using a PC VGA Monitor (which operates at 31Khz, with seperate syncs).
The signal going to the monitor is untouched. But the circuit takes the syncs from the signal, changes them to 15Khz composite sync, and that is passed to the gun. You don't need a Y-splitter, but its probably an easy way of doing it (if it works).
The gun will also work without the circuit if you are just sending a 15Khz signal to the monitor and gun. In this case you will need 1) VGA card capable of outputing 15Khz signal WITH COMPOSITE SYNC. (I know modern radeons can be made to do this) 2) A monitor which can display 15Khz. But then this has been covered in other threads - the whole point of this thread is to use the guncon on a normal pc with a normal PC Monitor.

OK - thanks silver, I better understand what the circuit does. I don't see why a "Y" adapter wouldn't work.
Any progress on getting your circuit to work Olsteve? You have it on a "Y" adapter correct? You tried it yet off the "Y" adapter?
I am asking all the question before I order the modified J-pac chip and building my circuit...

so this works?
are there kits out ?
im a cheap ass and am slightly confused now
oh id probably need a faster mopnitor mine has horrible ghosting worse then any lcd ive ever seen

I still haven't had any success with this. I have kind of given up. I may just end up going with the ACT Labs gun?? It really puts a damper on the whole BYO/DIY philosophy.

This is an uneducated question as my post count will testify but nonetheless, from a VGA graphics card with TV out, could you run the monitor from the VGA signal and the gun from the TV-out signal? I kinda figure it is not nearly this easy (it never is), but could someone at least explain why this wont work?
