Light Gun - The PCSX LightGun Thread

siQ1

First I want to thank all those who helped to get piplay available. I starting to love my RaspberryPI Model B and planning to buy 2 more boards, to get my living room and computer room besides our sleeping room connected to the pi world ;)

So, since i overclocked to "turbo" with raspi-config, "Die Hard Trilogy" and "Time Crisis" run perfectly on PipLay. PCSX-reARMed is perfect on the RasPi to play all those classics i loved years ago. Now i would die for LightGun support. I saw, that PCSX itself seems to support it?! At least, there is a configuration under "controls" whichs lets me set things for LightGun support. Now i ask me, are LightGuns supported by piplay, too? And when you say yes, is there a list of compatible guns and a tutorial, how i can connect playstation LightGuns to the RasPi? Can i use any "Playstation Connector to USB" Adapter?

Excuse my whacky english, its not my native languare, but i give my best. Would love to communicate with you over this topic. Greetings, siQ1 (sick one) ;)

.... So that maybe a loaded question. Lightguns usually only work on CRTs, because they need scan lines...there are USB lightguns for LCDs / Projectors that work like a wiimote. I have never thought to use it on a Raspberry Pi, so I don't know.

That's awesome that time crisis is running well on PCSX....one of my fav games next to Marvel Vs. Capcom.

Hi Silver :) mh, maybe I buy an 100hz ready lightgun with ps1 & usb connector and check which signals are coming in. Could be a nice project the get in touch with usb input programming, if there is a chance to get it work.

Has anyone been able to get the AimTrak lightgun working with any of the emulators in PiPlay (ie: mame4all, advmame, or PCSX-rearmed)?

I keep on hitting a wall and can never actually make it work. I'd really like some help please.

OK, so getting the AimTrak to work with mame4all and advmame is complex but possible (remember, it is just a simulating a mouse after all).

But is the AimTrak possible with PCSX-rearmed?

Howdy, Stranger!
