We have developed a custom driver to support original Namco GunCon 2 lightgun. Currently, only original blue(EU), black(JP) and orange(US) original guns are supported. We are working on supporting clones and original XBOX gun in the future if feasible. It is very important to know that there are 4 different kinds of gun games based on the hardware they used. While nothing prevents us on playing any of them, different results could be faced:

  • Lightgun blanking based. The main example is the NES Zapper. These games play really well. Some cores like Genesis Plus GX do not provide any precision adjustment, so SMS games for instance become more challenging.
  • Lightgun beam read based. The main example is PSX GunCon. These games work and play perfectly fine.
  • Lightgun + IR receiver based. Sega Menacer is the main example. These games play well as long as they do not have big black areas. An example of game that do not work well is Megadrive T2 the Arcade. The sky in this game is black, so the gun cannot read the beam. On the other hand, SNES version which is prepared for beam read based gun plays well since the sky changes to a blue color.
  • Fake Lightgun. There are many examples of this in arcade. For example Operation Wolf arcade cabinet uses a joystick disguised as gun. Again, the playability here relies on games not having many and/or big black areas on the screen.
