G-Con 45 and PSX SNAC Adapter

Unread post by IandMR »

The Namco G-Con 45 gun is available with or without the Namco adapter.

Do I need the adapter with the PSX Snac I bought below or just the gun? Does anybody know if you can connect two guns at once to the Snac?

Many thanks.

You don't need the Namco adapter, the gun's cable has the normal psx controller connector and another lead that plugs into the RCA Jack on the PSX SNAC adapter for sync.

You can use 2 gcon 45s, they have a T connector so both can use the single RCA jack on the SNAC adapter.

G-con 45/guncon 1 (needs SNAC) and guncon 2 (USB) are CRT only.

Guncon 3 is an IR tracker so works with HDTVs,
GUN4IR and wiimotes are other options.
