The Guncon (ガンコンGankon)[1] (often styled 'GunCon', a portmanteau of 'Gun Controller'), known as the G-Con in Europe, is a family of gun peripherals designed by Namco for the PlayStation consoles. The original controllers used traditional light gun technology, while newer controllers use LED tracking technology.

Ok if i somehow get time crisis working and connect my pc 2 a tv, will the guncon work. What sort of tweaking will i have to do? Any drivers or is it impossible. Hello, I am trying to get my Guncon 2 to work on my PC so I can play with the house of the dead 2 on my computer monitor. But I have a problem, my computer detects the guncon 2, and installs some. Apr 28, 2013  Yet the LED on the usb RF receiver indicates it is communicating with the gun device. I am wondering if these Light Gun for PC drivers essentially make a mouse out of your gun (which could serve as a different type of controller for the Blender game engine), or would I have to send this signal to Blender 2.66 via python scripting? Nov 22, 2010  A guncon 3 driver would be great. Then then id be set for pc emulated gun games:) I am about to buy 2 EMS topgun II or RF light guns. Doing all my research now.

Background[edit]

The first Guncon NPC-103 (G-Con 45 in Europe) (Sony ID: SLEH-00007) was bundled with the PlayStation conversion of Time Crisis. To make the gun affordable to consumers, the force feedback feature of the Time Crisis arcade gun was omitted, and an additional fire button was included in lieu of releasing a pedal controller for the game's ducking mechanic.[2] A second version of the Guncon, known as the Guncon 2 NPC-106 (G-Con 2 in Europe), was bundled with the PlayStation 2 conversion of Time Crisis II and Time Crisis 3. Time Crisis 4 came out for the PlayStation 3 bundled with the Guncon 3 NC-109 [3][4][5][6] (G-Con 3 in Europe[7]). In Japan, all three Guncon models were also available for sale as a separate accessory outside of a game bundle.

Prior to the Guncon, the Konami Justifier was the first light gun peripheral for the PlayStation and a few games support it. With the exception of the North American localization of Elemental Gearbolt and Maximum Force,[8] games that support the Justifier are not compatible with the Guncon and vice versa.

Models[edit]

Guncon[edit]

The black GunCon controller for the PlayStation

The Guncon controller (known as G-Con 45 in Europe) uses the cathode ray timing method to determine where the barrel is aimed at on the screen when the trigger is pulled. It features a button below the barrel on either side of the gun (buttons A and B, both performing the same function) for auxiliary in-game control, such as to take cover and reload in Time Crisis. The controller is released in black in Japan, and gray (and eventually, in orange) in both Europe and North America. The controller is compatible with some PlayStation 2 Guncon titles, but is not compatible with PlayStation 3 due to its lack of controller ports. Many games that support it allow the A and B buttons to be swapped, making it comfortable for both right and left-handed players.

Guncon 2[edit]

Guncon 2, Japanese domestic model: a d-pad has been added to the rear of the gun

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 side buttons, A and B, have been moved rearward to a position directly above the trigger. Two new smaller buttons, SELECT and START, have been added to the left side of the shaft. 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. 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. 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). The controller is released in black in Japan, blue in Europe, and orange in North America. It is not compatible with original PlayStation titles or PlayStation 3 titles. 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.[9]

Guncon 3[edit]

Guncon 3, Japanese domestic model: two analogue sticks have been added to the gun for advanced aiming/movement controls

The Guncon 3 utilizes two infrared LEDs as markers, placed on the left and right sides of the screen. An image sensor in the muzzle tracks the markers as reference points for determining where the gun is pointing on the screen. As opposed to the Guncon and Guncon 2, which are only compatible with CRT-based displays, the GunCon 3 supports a wide variety of display types, including LCD and Plasma.[10]

The Guncon 3 features a 'sub-grip', mounted underneath the barrel and extending to the left side for use with the left hand. On the sub-grip is an analog stick and two shoulder buttons, like in a modern gamepad. At the back end of the gun barrel is another analog stick and two buttons, B1 and B2, underneath. Another two buttons, C1 and C2, are placed along the left side of the barrel. The analog sticks allow the player to play first-person shooting games with manual aiming/firing of the light gun.

In regards to appearance, all Japanese Guncon 3 controllers feature a black coloring, though due to US toy gun laws, the US/PAL release of the Guncon 3 controllers are molded of bright orange plastic. This controller has been criticized for being uncomfortable for left-handed gamers.

Guncon 2 Pc Driver Download

Hello, I am trying to get my Guncon 2 to work on my PC so I can play with the house of the dead on my computer monitor. but I have a problem, my computer detects the guncon 2, and installs some drivers I have, and even says it is ready to use. however the guncon 2 doesn't do anything. I think it's probably because I didn't plug the yellow video cable on the guncon 2 into my video card, but It doesn't have a place to plug it in. I have a Diamond Stealth S60 Radeon 7000 With Aevc 64MB and it fits into a pci slot. the problem is the only video cable slot it has is a S-video Cable. is there a way to connect the yellow cable on the guncon 2 into an S-video cable and then make it work on my PC monitor?
