For specific games I would suggest Point Blank, (always fun) Area 51, Duck Hunt, Elemental Gearbolt, (unique and awesome) Lethal Enforcers, Police Trainer, and of course all the House of the Dead and Time Crisis games. I know that emulation is frowned upon in some open source circles, so i won't get into great detail, but I know there are a ton of great lightgun games for MAME, SNES, Playstation, NES, etc. Also another good game that I used to play a ton is Wetlands, which was fun with a joystick and would be even more fun with a gun! I think you could run it with QEMU or DosBox.Īlso give some emulators a shot. As for games, I would suggest the House of the Dead series, which I have successfully gotten to run in Wine before and which I think can handle joystick inputs. I still haven't tried playing any games, though. * If Installing 'horizontal' LED stands, Shoot the top-right LED group. * If Installing 'vertical' LED stands, Shoot the top-left LED group. * Point the gun offscreen (the floor/ceiling). Follow these instructions (no, you don't need to do it on Windows first): You will need to do hardware calibration for it to work. Then, if you plug the topgun in, by running a "jstest /dev/input/js0" you should be able to see if all is well. If you do, a "make" followed by "make install" should do the job. To compile, you will need to have kernel headers installed, but nothing else. It should work on all kernels up to 2.6.24, including Hardy. I guess that's all I got for now, let me know how it goes! Be on the lookout for Guncon2 drivers- they are what you are really looking for. values, which are also posted on that post.

Basicly the TopGun drivers took the Guncon2 ones, and simplified them by adding the hardcoded X,Y, etc. See this threadĪt the BYOAC (build your own arcade controls) website: it might prove to be very helpful, especially since those Guncon2 drivers are much more tested, more is known about them, and they also are updated sometimes. However, there is still hope- the TopGun is actually Guncon2 compatible. I'll check around my HDD and see if I still have them. The files USED to be hosted on Kaillera, can't find the there now. :( I don't have Windoze, which is probably the only other easy way to use the gun. I never got a response from anyone (as you can tell) so I didn't buy the gun. Hey, welcome to out little and exclusive club!Īctually, I will need to check on where I put those drivers. Looks like linux is going to make me learn something new again =P The headers that the source file tries to include are

I am sure i can find information about using modprobe to load the driver, but if there is any other extra information or a reference to a manual i missed, i would appreciate it. after the module is compiled, where do I need to place the module. What libraries /headers do i need to link to?
#Ems topgun 3 buttons driver
what do I need to do under Dapper Drake to compile a driver from source code ? Since I have no experience tinkering with the kernel, or compiling modules i didnt want to change information in the makefile without understanding what it wanted to do. Make: *** /usr/src/linux: No such file or directory. Make -C /usr/src/linux SUBDIRS=/home/loudet/Desktop/topgun-0.1 modules $(MAKE) -C $(TOPDIR) SUBDIRS=$(PWD) modules_install $(MAKE) -C $(TOPDIR) SUBDIRS=$(PWD) modules I am using Ubuntu 7.04 I believe, Dapper Drake. It came with a Makefile, which does not work for me.

I do not know how to compile, or install the driver to get the device to work. I have also acquired the source code to the linux driver.
I recently bought a EMS LCD TopGun that I would like to connect to my linux system. I have been using linux for a while, but have never needed to compile kernel modules myself. I'm having a hard time searching for and finding the information that I am looking for.
