Title: Which Act Labs Light Gun?
Post by: FrizzleFried on September 16, 2007, 03:22:23 am

On their site I see that there is a VGA version of the Act Light Gun and a TV version (that uses composit/svideo inputs)...

...I use an ArcadeVGA to arcade monitor combo...what version do I get?  Do I get the VGA version and just plug it in before it goes to my JPAC or do I get the TV version and hack it some how?

The PC version is the one you use. There are some details outlined in this thread here,

I *just* ordered the PC version (VGA/USB) :)

thanks for the link hardwaretech... makes me worried now!

I hope it works, I have RGB connection thru 5 "BNC' leads from PC VGA > Monitor RGB "1" below ... crossing fingers!!

...anyone have ACT light guns hooked up with an ArcadeVGA through a JPAC?  If so...whats the proper gun to get and how did you hack it?

Email Andy and ask him.  I am sure he can help.
