If it's the Konami one, forget it. It may be possible to get it working, but it would be mega hassle. The Namco one (with the connection to the video port) is far easier to use. Just write a little program that outputs the data in padbuf. Wave the gun at the screen, and it should be fairly obvious what's going on. (I could tell you, but where's the fun in that ;-) One thing to remember is that, as the name suggests, a light gun needs light to work. Pointing at a dark area on the screen just won't register at all. Sounds obvious I know, but it threw me last week when I tried putting my nice new gun routines into my game which consists mainly of a black background... Doh!
