In Reply to: T2 Gun hack posted by Fultra on 5, 2001 at 8:43 AM:
I am in the process of hacking an Operation Wolf (optical) gun into an "Analog Joystick". What were the values of the pots used? I believe that the input to the joystick port expects to see a 100Kohm range. But I am unable to find a pot that will vary that much on a 1/4 turn. Please let me know.
-Thanks!
: The rumor is true.
: The T2 gun uses 2 pots and 2 buttons. Just like a joystick. Wire the 2 pots and 2 buttons to a joystick harness. If you're not sure what wire goes where, buy a cheap $5 joystick, tear it apart and look at it. Then you can use the cord form the joystick to attach to your gun.
: By the way. I've hacked an atari Starwars control the same way. It simply consists of 2 pots and 2 switches as well.
: Good luck!

: : Rumor has it that you did a T2 gun hack. If this is true, how did you do yours? I'm working on 2 Steel Gunner guns and I will probably use the Dual Strike hack method that "rmfx" has posted before.
