Light Gun Games?

[matmico399]

Is there a way to play light gun games on a flat screen tv? I have House of The Dead 2 and Virtua Cop 2 on my Dreamcast. I have my flat screen on a tv stand in my game room. The CRT sits on the floor and I have to lay down to play it. Maybe I should just buy another small tv stand for it, but I would luv to play on the flat screen if possible. Thanks!

I don't think so, my friend.

Light guns use different methods, but I think the DC uses CRT scanline timing. Your flatscreen is pixel based - its cathode ray free.

IR sensors like the Wiimote or camera and depth sensor like the kinect are more modern alternatives, but so far the genre has just not proven popular enough to push the tech.

Yeah, Scotland is correct. The only way you're playing light gun games is to hold onto a tube tv. It really stinks as those types of games are getting harder and harder to play, perhaps someone will make a sensor or something that works with retro consoles and modern tvs. Doubt it though...
