I'm interested in seeing what games on System 246/256 I can make work with the OMZ IR Gun setup (aka: Sega Type II IR).
From what I understand there are 4 guns games for the System 2x6 and these are the I/O boards they're designed to use:
Time Crisis 3: - uses Namco V185 I/O Board (also compatible with Time Crisis 2 V221 I/O Board) with old-school CRT Guns
Time Crisis 4: uses Namco V329 I/O Board with an OMZ IR Gun setup
Cobra: The Arcade: uses Namco FCA2 I/O Board with IR Gun setup (are these OMZ guns as well? I don't know)
Vampire Night: - uses Namco V221 MIU I/O Board ("TMIU 1 PROG0 B" EPROM) with and IR/CCD gun setup similar to Crisis Zone
I don't think TC3 or Vampire Night have any chance of working without some kind of custom hardware interface.
However TC4 will definitely work so long as the I/O board is compatible, and I don't know enough about Cobra to say for sure but it's the next likely candidate.
Can anyone who has these games confirm if a Sega Type 1 or similar I/O board will work with any of these games (particularly TC4 or Cobra)? or do these games refuse to boot without a specific I/O board attached?
