The readme of this core says it is compatible with original guncon controllers. I own a ps1 cobsole and two guncons.

I am using this psx-snac adapter bought from misterfpga.co.uk: IMG_3887

and this bought from ultimate mister:

Both these guns works on my original console. However not on this core. I have tested to set port 1 and 2 to snac and guncon. Guncon 2 works but does not gave sccuracy to play time crisis for example.

My monitor is a Phillips CM8833-II.

Is this core tested with original guncons? What combinations of adapters and guns work?

I have exactly the same snac and a similar cable only with a scart plug , my two Namco Guncons work without any problem. I use them with three different CRT TVs.

Of course core has been tested with the original Guncons.

anderse77 commented 5 months ago

Are they european, Japanese or us versions of the guns. Could it be that the core only works with one regional flavour of the guns?

Kuba-J commented 5 months ago

no , core works with any guncon regardless of what country it comes from.

Guncon underwent intensive testing with the core for a long time, and was tested by many users from around the world.

Kuba-J commented 5 months ago

how do you connect the yellow composite cable ? through snac or port in the cable ?

I got the guncon 1 to work. I had a ps1 controller in port 1 and guncon in port 2. When I unplugged ps1 controller and plugged guncon 1 i port 1, it worked. Castle spirit gun still does not work, however. Is that because it is a third party gun?

I'm glad guncon works, unfortunately I don't know castle spirit gun.
