Lead reviewer Crispin Boyer was also pleased with the low price of the GunCon/ Time Crisis bundle. They criticized Namco's decisions to make it compatible only with Namco games and make Namco games incompatible with other light guns, but praised the GunCon's extreme precision and accuracy, in particular when firing near the edge of the screen (a common trouble spot for light guns). GunCon 3 Įlectronic Gaming Monthly 's four-person 'review crew' gave the original GunCon scores of 7.5, 7.0, 8.0, and 7.5 out of 10. The GunCon 2, with compatible games, can work on older models of the PlayStation 3 featuring any form of hardware-based PlayStation 2 backwards compatibility. It is not compatible with original PlayStation titles or PlayStation 3 titles. The controller is released in black in Japan, blue in Europe, and orange in North America. The gun uses a USB connection as opposed to a PlayStation controller port of the GunCon 1 and also hooks into the video signal of the console (either composite video or the Y signal of component video). These new buttons served to open new gameplay opportunities, such as character movement in Dino Stalker or the ability to use two guns at once in Time Crisis II.

Prominent additions to this second GunCon model is a D-pad at the back of the gun barrel and a C button added at the bottom of the gun handle. Two new smaller buttons, SELECT and START, have been added to the left side of the shaft.

The side buttons, A and B, have been moved rearward to a position directly above the trigger. I will add more info to this post to help newcomers as it occurs, or is suggested to me.GunCon 2 (G-Con 2 in Europe) features a smaller body, as well as a more rounded shape when compared with the original GunCon. The gun is compatible with MAME but cannot function well on a Black screen, so expect spotty perfomance on "joystick lightgun games", such as Revolution X and T2. It is believed (perhaps by me only) that this issue is caused by the official Guncon2's dual functionality as both a standard and HD lightgun, if only for the fact that the generic guns that do not have this feature seem to have no problems. It should be known that official Guncon2's seem to have the worst tracking problems (the infamous "Rolling X") but only on TVs. The card is capable of doing both simultaneously, with no special wiring or adaptors.įor arcade use, see the IntruderAlert's tutorial, linked below.
#GUNCON 2 DRIVER TV#
I use an ATI Radeon 9200 (PCI), with the S-video outputting to my TV and the composite outputting to the Guncon2. PC monitor use is mostly covered by the thread SirPoonga pasted below, but is discussed in this thread as well.įor TV use, all that is required is a Guncon2 lightgun, a video card with TV-Out, Smog's Driver, and a TV.
#GUNCON 2 DRIVER PS2#
This thread deals with using the PS2 Guncon2 on a PC with TV-Out capabilities or an arcade monitor. This way you won't have to read back through it again if you don't want to.

If you feel defeated by the size of it, open up notepad and paste the parts you think useful in there and save it. There is no substitute for reading the actual thread, but I will give the basic details here.
