Can you make a new LCD/Plasma Gun Controller Dreamcast friendly?

[jwilds73]

Ok I already know that old gun controllers and new LCD and Plasma TV's aren't compatible. However I wonder how hard it would be to modify a new gun controller? I don't believe it to be a simple rewiring of the gun controller to a dreamcast plug. However I wonder how much would be involved. I was hoping that you could simply use a PS2 to DC controller adapter and plug a LCD/Plasma gun controller into it but I don't believe it would be that simple. Anyway's can anyone give me some insight and thought on this.

I seen this gun here and wondered how hard it might be to adapt

This would be fantastic if it were possible.

Such a shame they dont make it compatible already with the DC as I would have snapped it up. I really hope this will work cause I'm desperate to get the light guns working on my new tv!

I believe there is a market for a light gun that would be compatible with older systems. It would be nice to see one made that worked with many older systems and simple used a plug adapter for each system. Basically a usb end gun then a usb to system adapter. Then it could be sold as a PC and System Gun. Now to just hound a manufacturer to make one.

Why not go to play Asia or where ever and buy a converter? Or do those not work?

Does the Playstation have any LCD/Plasma-friendly light-guns? If so, has anyone tried any of those with the Total Control adaptor (the adaptor that allows you to use PS controllers on the DC).

No only the PS2/PS3 and Xbox/Xbox 360 seem to have a LCD/Plasma friendly gun. Right now I think there is nothing for the PSX.

Namco had changed from the Guncon's to the Guncon 2's and the older Guncon's aren't compatible with the new Guncon 2 games and Guncon 2's don't work with older Guncon games.

It would be really nice to see a usb end gun with simple adapters for the older systems. I don't know what systems all used Light Gun's but such a gun could cover quite a few systems. There must be a USB PC Light Gun that is LCD/Plasma compatible that someone makes or is atleast working on now? We just need someone to make the adapters if that is the case.

I'm all about this.
Recommend me what to buy.
I'll be a guinea pig.
I want to play House of the Dead And confidential mission with my girlfriend again.

She was really bummed when we dusted off our light guns and did not get any hot zombie killing videogame gun date action.

if somebody gets a PS1>DC controller converter could they try it?

If I'm not mistaken, Total Control Plus & 2 supports PS2 controllers, correct?

Regardless, I think I'm going to try this with this gun:

It's cheaper than the alternatives, so I wont lose too much

I'll give you updates, shipping, trial and error, etc.

EDIT: After looking at my budget, I can't fit this in right now. Maybe later, mid June. If anyone is adamant about it, remind me.
