If you are ok with the standard wiimote (im not sure what the difference is, i think its just precision in non optical mesurements) 17$ used, The gun that schnurri listed is compatible with ps2, i dont know if ps1 games will work, but i know there was a farily large catalouge of lightgun games for ps1 and some of the best for ps2,įor the wiimote, you can get a wiimote + new for 34$, and used for 21 Oh, there are a ton of lightgun games, just not recent and if you are ok with emulation, you open yourself up to massive past arcade librarys, older consoles, and even more recent ones.

If there were a couple more light gun games worth having on the PC I would definitely get the gun. I'm not sure if I should rather invest in a Wiimote, since it would be more compatible things that aren't light gun games :D now does a wii mote connect to the pc and do i need the plus thing to do it right?

but i have never seen a desire for anyone to write a driver for this, and when brought up in various places you are mocked for even wanting to do this at best with a pound sand as the normal response. but again, 70$ is the minimum for a kit even on sale and thats a bit much sight unseen for me.Īnd finally, what would be the best, but most unlikely, is getting the usb guncon 3, that has usb lights, to work on the pc. Than there is also buying a lightgun from one of those places. once i know it works, i would probably either cut a hole in the guncon i have thats broke (as in never worked) and mount the wii mote there, and make the motes trigger connecte to the gunscons trigger for a better feelĪnother way that is 'guaranteed' to work on the pc is if i get a lightgun insides from a chinese retailer (something i would love to avoid) for 30-50$, and than fit it into the light gun shell and work with that. Im thinking the wii mote on the pc being the easiest way to go, and testing wouldn't require me to do any time consuming work before i know if everything works. I am able to solder and 'mod' things so here are my thoughts

So getting something i already have to work is the preferable way to do this. The lightgun that the devs are recommending is over 100$, and i just can't justify that price on something i can't try in person and wont get used outside of niche settings. or getting what i currently have to work with the pc. I have wanted to play a light gun game for ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ years but since i have no crts that work with guncons anymore, and the ps3 light gun game wasn't nowhere near what i wanted, i have been looking into various light guns for the pc. I have a guncon 3, several wii controllers, and i believe a somewhat broken guncon 1.
