So is guncon2 support just dead or what?

<< < (3/3)

Kayden:
Splitting is the only option when you only have one output.  ...I suppose I could just stick the wires to the guns strait into the hole and then put the monitor cable on...  That'd probably be iffy though.

You didn't mention how you actually connect your guns to the video out though.

Hi folks.

I'm trying to get a Namco Guncon2 running....but not much success :(

I tried the guncon2-driver at first: buttons work but I cannot track. Drivers are installed, incl. the HID-mouse-driver.

Then I uninstalled guncon2 and installed Wingun.

It doesn't detect my gun at all. I can click "Detect" a thousand times an nothing happens.

Everytime I re-connect the gun the HID-Mouse is installed again and the pointer moves like crazy over the screen when pointing at it with the gun.

What am I doing wrong??  ???

Your computer is still seeing the guncon2 drivers. I had this problem. Use system restore and go back to before you installed the guncon2 drivers. Now install wingun and it will work fine

Thanks for the hint. I returned to the point before driver installation but Windows still found the guncon2-drivers. I crawled the registry and deleted every entry with guncon2.....but there was one entry that windows refused to delete: in the HID-devices! So it's still there.

At least wingun now finds my gun and wants to calibrate. Buttons work and the screen flashes when I pull the trigger....but the pointer keeps jumping around :(

I will re-install windows......was something I wanted to do either :)

The pointer does jump around in windows- don't worry too much. Just calibrate the guns as accurately as you can and then set up mame. RE the driver issue- what I did in the end was make a restore point for each instance of driver install. As I was testing guncon2 and wingun this made it easy to switch.

The biggest issue with lightguns is a nice bright screen- and an undiluted video feed to them. Smoked glass is a no-no and a fully vertical screen helps. I don't know your setup but the best seems to be a seperate video feed for the guns rather than a splitter. A dual output video card can work ok but a TV with video out is better.
