Hi.

Can anyone explain me some stuff like:
1) Does US/JP ver of DC light gun work with EUR console or you must have a EUR gun?
2) Recommend me gun for PC and Ps2.

If anyone have something related for sale, pm me, thanks.

Its been a while, but I believe the Dreamcast light guns only work with games of the same region. The console doesn't really matter so long as you can get it to load a game from that region. At least I remember it being this way with the Japanese light gun and the Japanese HOTD2.

This is why piracy is in some cases better.

Also light guns do not work on lcd/plasma's, beware!

Do HD CRTs work well? I've noticed that 480p lags imperceptibly, while 480i has ~2 frames of lag on my Sony.

Might have to pick up a VGA to component transcoder before trying DC lightgun games here.

it has nothing to do with the game....its about how the gun interacts with the screen....most LCD/HD solutions require sensors around the screen

Depends on your TV.

If you have a 60Hz SDTV NTSC DC guns will work.

A warning though: No light guns will work on 100Hz TVs.

If your TV equipment is all new and HD, you might just wanna get a Wii with House of the Dead or something.

You misunderstood, I already know that!

I was just saying its now possible to play light gun games on LCD/Plasmas when it first wasnt.

As someone mentioned LCD/PLASMA/DLP will not work with guncon guns or any other gun. I think it has something to do with how the scanning works or the lack thereof. In any case you could go this route.

Perhaps on some 100 hz tv's you an also set it back to 50/60 whatever.
I can on my Panasonic plasma, but I realize this is about crt's

I have this, but it's a nightmare to calibrate and configure. When I want to play a couple of rounds of Vampire Night, Ninja Assault or Dino Crisis I end up spending most of my potential playing time shooting like mad at some calibration screens, without anything happening. And sometimes it works. But it is a very cool feeling gun with a laser dot and recoil system.

The DC light guns work fine on VGA, although I had to turn the brightness up on my monitor IIRC. Wasn't really worth it as playing gun games on a small screen is no fun. I'm not sure if a transcoder will work. I know that I couldn't get my Justifier gun to work when playing my Sega CD through an RGB->component transcoder (which introduces no perceptible lag).

Seconded. I love the voiceovers in this game.
