: I have a PSX and 2 guns for it : a Konami Justifier and a GunCon Gun for Time Crisis . I bought an adapter that allow any device of PSX to be connected on my PC with the USB Port . The PAD control works fine but the light guns doesn't . Does exist any way how to use my PSX Guns in my PC ?
When I bought my ArcadePC, one of the things I wanted to use it for was gun games.
As far as I know, you can only use the gun on a TV screen. I have a JAM!! box scan-converter that converts NTSC to VGA, but I haven't been successful at getting the light guns for any video game system to work properly on a VGA monitor or on my Wells-Gardner U3100 arcade monitor (which also uses VGA). I can shoot the screen, but it's nowhere near as accurate as you'd need it for playing a game. It's a shame, because I'd love to play my old 3DO American Laser Games on the ArcadePC!
Then I bought the Act Labs GS Gun System. They have an unsupported legacy driver that works with any game that uses the mouse for aiming. I've actually used it to play Time Crisis on my ArcadePC using Bleem! I wish Virtual Game Station had mouse support, because the program has much better game support than Bleem! does.
House of the Dead 2 on the Dreamcast works beautifully on my arcade monitor using the Performance VGA adapter!
