I just think there is little benefit between using a native PC gun vs adapting a HOD1 gun to use a PC with.Īs for Type 2 guns, I like the fact that it's compatible with many more games (Jurassic Park, Sega Naomi, etc) given you have the gun boards and all that comes with it. Quote from: vholfx on November 30, 2019, 08:40:32 pm Sorry if I came across as not liking complexity, I actually thrive on it and the more complicated the setup the more I enjoy it when it works (when it works heh). So far, I have only seen it demonstrated on a game with on-screen crosshairs which don't require accuracy. In my mind, it will need to provide noticeably better accuracy that other less expensive and easier to use options. If you can wait a week, I'll be able to give you a first hand view on how well Sega type 2 guns works on a Windows PC. The insane number of wires and the need for custom harnesses, plus high cost of replacement parts makes it something only for a fanatic (like me) with the time to do a lot of research. If the complexity bothers you, I would avoid Sega type 2 cabs. The one person I know of who has done it already was not too enthusiastic about how well it worked. It's cost me a fortune and I am not even sure if it will be worth it.

I am currently struggling to figure out how to hook up the IR LED boards and my HOD4 guns to a PC via an Apac and it's a frustrating endeavor. It's a significantly more complicated and expensive set-up. This is what I did for my Tera burst gun: In this case, performance would be identical. Add ground screws if they don't have them already.Īlso, if the gun shell is big enough, you may be able to transplant the guts of a GC2 or Act labs gun unaltered. The longer it is, the more performance will suffer.
Don't make the cable from the gun sensor to the guncon 2 PCB (or Act Labs) too long. If you have recoil, use separate shielded cable for the solenoid or motor power. They are harder to calibrate but fantastic once you do. They are made to even work on older dim monitors. I had the best results with Namco amplified sensor boards sold by Happ and Betson etc. If you get spotty shot registering with one, you can try almost any other. It's only how the I/O deals with it at the back end that differs. The thing to remember is that all light gun sensors are interchangeable. On the plus side, the glass lens in the arcade gun let's through more light and my one with an amplified sensor board registers shots more reliably, especially at the edges. On the Time Crisis arcade guns I wired to guncon 2 PCBs the performance was slightly worse but still usable.
