Light Gun?

[Cookie]

I found a light gun for the PC. It says it could work as a mouse. Could it work with the products?

If they made the Lightgun correctly then it would fool any software application into thinking it was a mouse, and it'd work.

A word of warning, though - I saw that gun reviewed elsewhere and it was found that it didn't work with XP at all (which just seems bizarre).

If someone writes a basic serial extension, or USB extension, that just retrieved a 1 or 0 value from 2 pins, I could make the NES lightgun work.

Does anybody know why most guns won't work with LCD-Monitors?

Wouldn't it be better to suport the newer Playstation Light Guns
since you can get USB-converters via ebay for 3Euros (~4Buck$).

It's still CRT-only, though - due to the electron-beam positioning method I mentioned above, I think.

There is no light guns compatible with LCD screens? That's sad =(

Not quite. There are light guns that are compatible with LCD and plasma screens.
