As you say, computer monitors should not work, but it actually works nearly perfect with my Namco GunCon2, just adding a little electronic circuit. 2000 Polaris Xpedition 425 Service Manual more. What I do is to add a edge triggered flip-flop (74HC74) to divide both horizontal and vertical sync in a XOR (74HC86) sync combining circuit. Sentinel Emulator 2007 License Plate. This is really not a legal things to do in tv-electronics, but it works with this gun (640x480, 31,5Khz 60Hz Progressive). There are many ways light guns can figure out where you point it on the screen.

Sedimentary Geology Prothero Ebook3000 here. A theory (since I don´t know how it works) on why the Namco GunCon2 works with this circuit is something like this: When the beam activates the photosensor the 'gun' starts a high-speed counter and counts up to the next vertical sync pulse. Then it divides this count with a prerecorded count of the horizontal pulses. The hole number will then be the position vertically and the reminder is the percentage of the horizontal position. Why it doesn´t get confused by the double scanrate (on the monitor) is maybe because it is busy calculating when the inbetween beam passes.

Its USB however there aren't any USB Drivers for windows. Under linux it shows up as 'Zeroplus Xbox Controller' in lsusb. Anyone out there able to reverse engineer one of these to work with the PC? Kinda like how they did it for the six axis, wiimote, kinect? I know nothing about hacking or even coding. Ordered some Guncons on eBay and was curious to know if the Guncon works on Playstation emulators for PC? My laptop is running windows 7 with an.

Another Gun that I have, the Scorpion3, works directly on composite sync on high frequencies without dividing, but it creates a huge RollingX problem by repeating and moving coordinates in horizontal direction. This could be compensated in software only if the screen could be read all the time (no black areas). I could make this circuit 'legal' in electronics terms by using a microcontroller and a few other parts, but it is actually easier just to make the gun for a pc-monitor from the ground up. So lets stick to TVs and ArcadeMonitors since these after my and others opinion is the best for gaming and retrogaming and with WinGun it is even better. The best gun ever so far is the Act Labs PC USB Light Gun. Using this gun together with the ArcadeVGA card from Ultimarc, playing Mame on a TV or ArcadeMonitor is excellent.
