I know about the EMS TopGun, but is there any lightgun that works with a LCD screen for the Dreamcast? Thanks for the help guys!
I want to get time crisis for my ps3, will EMS TopGun work with it ? I have a plasma btw, and the official guns are expensive and other than ebay you can only get it with a copy of the game..... I really don't want to get psmove...
No luck. However the Dreamcast Lightgun works beautiful with a VGA adaptor and a regular VGA CRT monitor.
I remember having that problem two years ago. I'm afraid there's no gun you can use with an LCD Monitor. Sorry !
In a perfect world, the advent of the hacked PS3 would mean someone would code a... "translator" (for lack of a better term) so those old GunCon games could be played with the new GunCon 3.
Well in theory, arcade game with the extenal LED boards would work fine even when using a supergun ;p
for my olds school light gun fix on my hd tv i use wii emulators(nes,snes ..), up till now the only option untill the ps3 gets busted wide open with more powerful emus and move/guncom3 support, ....drools for a house of the dead 1 model 2 emu on ps3....
On this topic, I have a couple of "Scorpion 3" PS2 light guns that I was trying to get working the other day. They have little laser scopes on them, which seems neat but often reflects back out of the CRT and into your eye. That's the least of the problems, though. One I've had for a couple of years and I can't remember if I ever got it going or not, the other came from a cash generator the other day. Both have identical problems. The set I was using is a Sony PVM (CRT) which should surely be fine, nothing more than standard 480i/60Hz like any normal SD CRT. The issue is that the guns work intermittently; they have real trouble with the edges of the screen (we're talking losing four inches off the left or right side) and often decide I'm no longer point at the screen and turn off. Whenever I fire it's pot luck whether it thinks I was aimed at the screen. I've tried eliminating all other light sources and it makes no difference at all. I've tried every calibration option I can find on the guns (the two wheels for adjusting aim, the switch between GC1 and 2) and in the games (Virtua Cop and Time Crisis 2, both have exactly the same problems). Obviously the USB and composite hookups are in place. I admit I have no real understanding of how PS1/PS2-era light guns work (these games don't really interest me, but for a few quid I couldn't resist), and I don't care if it turns out that these particular guns are just crap and aren't worth buying, but it'd be nice to know if I buy others in future whether I'm likely to have the same issue.
