I haven’t unfortunately but I found a similar one but it was dome shaped instead of flat light the original Namco one. Regardless, it still worked the same and was actually a bit brighter. I also found a similar one to the original. Haven’t done my test with that led yet.
Very interesting findings dude! I knew about the 2 different designs of the Crisis Zone IR led pcb but I never knew that they used different voltages to power them up. Funny enough, you seem to have a different version of the IR pcb than mine, also, your version is what the Vampire Night and Time Crisis 3 IR gun pcb is based off of, just without the Motor circuitry. Sorry if I have seemed to have abandoned this project, still working on the gun castings. The very good news is that my reversed-engineered IR pcb is fully working! All compatible games detect it and playing them has been a blast, especially on a big LCD screen.Ok picked up a CMOS camera from aliexpress, this one

pretty impressed with the image quality for what it costs, there is a little joystick built into the cable to control the OSD and it can be switched into black and white only mode.
Since there is little to no details on the LEDs used by NAMCO and I don't own a spectrometer I also picked up two different narrow band IR filters on a best guess basis from what was available, 850nm & 940nm (also knocked a up a case for the camera so the bare PCB is floating about on the bench).
No IR filter in use
850nm made little difference
940nm
Pretty easy to guess the approximate wavelength based on those images.
Not that it really matters to anyone here but it's worth noting that the standard and deluxe crisis zone guns actually use different LED boards and apparently (according to the schematic) one uses a 12V supply for the LED and the other uses 5V.
I’m still working on them, well the gun castings at least. Life and other projects got in the way but I’m going back to this project
Sorry! Same here! what a busy year huh bois? I see one thing I can DEFINITLEY HELP WITH.I’m still working on them, well the gun castings at least. Life and other projects got in the way but I’m going back to this project
This is absolutely awesome and perfect! Do you mind if you can share the file so I can try them out?Sorry! Same here what a busy year huh? i see one thing i can DEFINITLEY HELP WITH.

BRUH as we say in the other hobby that takes up my time "you cant stop the signal" So OF COURSE! you focus on those boards because you are a reverse engineer genius and my crisis zone IR board is bad so im counting on you! uwu
Thank you so much! If you ever want some high res pictures of the Crisis Zone gun, tell me as I have a brand new old stock gun.
I’m in the process of remaking the Crisis Zone IR gun pcb, it’s basically the same thing as the tiny board but with the addition of the motor transistors. That’s the tricky part.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Yac6j-ivDUvyvC30r97S52fJBNK8Y-b1/view?usp=sharingThat might be for the CRT monitor as Crisis Zone it’s self doesn’t need it
My Jurassic Park SD has one.
A couple of outs for various parts of the board.
I had some time to figure out that it is a isolation transformer and just a old Pacific 240/110. Its not needed if im not using the CRT...Which is why we are here :p
I have also played Crisis Zone on a 32” LCD tv before and it worked lol! I might just end up selling the PCB only as I can’t get the guns to mold properly. I have tested one of my prototypes and they work. The led is just as bright as the original one.
