Need the requirements for a Point Blank set up.(Monitor types.)
Brutal E:
Think I Am going to repossess my 27 inch Sony Vega trinitron from my room mate. I said he could use it never said he could keep it. I have a backward compatible PS3, 2x guncons, 2x USB conveters, 2x guncon2, and a few good games.

The USB adaptors won't work. They don't 'convert' PS1/PS2 controllers to PS3, they convert it into a generic USB gamepad that the PS3 supports. These can not support specialty controllers like the PS1 mouse, NeGcon or the Guncon 1. The adaptor will just not see a PS1 or PS2 gamepad and do nothing. So any controller that required the game to specificly support it, won't work basically. Only controllers that the system sees as it's normal gamepads.
For Point Blank at home, you'll need to use a PS1 or a PS2 which natively has those gamepad ports.
However PS2 based Guncon2 games will work on the PS3 as the Guncon2 is entirely USB and no adaptor is necessary.
Yeah, I'm probably the biggest home console light gun nerd on the forum. :) Especially for PS1/PS2. :D

Thanks for the info. How about a converter and a regular CRT monitor I can get those for cheap. Also are Point Blank guns the same as Zero Point guns or Area 51 guns? I would love to do a multi jamma gun set up. If it cost me too much easier to buy a used ps1 and amazon all the classics. Gun game lover here was pricing everything from arcade Silent Scope to Point Blank machines.
DJ_Izumi:
A 'converter' for what? I don't understand that part of the question.
Uhh, Namco uses it's own guns for Point Blank but I believe the guns are possibly intercompatable with some other cabs. I have seen Point Blank and other Namco gun cabs with their Namco guns replaced with something that looks to be third party, most likely to replace a damaged original gun. But that'd be something you'd be best to look up.

Will do thanks for your time. Favorite gun game? Mine I would go with Point Blank 2. Time Crisis 3 is favorite also. Never bought the PS3 game though. Too expensive for just one game. Gotta have two guns you know.
