New lightguns in place

Okay, so I finally took some pictures of the lightguns and the LED strips that the guns use to work out positioning.

First up is the right hand LED strip. I cut holes in the bezel and jammed the strips in . Unfortunately the first set of strips stopped working after dropping out and being man-handled into the holes.




Next up is the left hand LED. Not much else to say really.



And the left hand PL1 gun in its "holster". Just two pieces of thick dowel to hold the gun by the trigger and the handle. Seems to work fines - its not dropped off yet.




The guns work beautifully. I had loads of hassle with the PS2 Guncon2 guns. The driver seemed to work but there were huge issues with accuracy. I think this was down to using the VGA/SCART cable. Anyway, these guns use a camera and the two LED strips to work out the guns position on the screen. I've tested a single gun with House of The Dead3 and Art is Dead on the PC as well as loads of MAME lightgun games.
