I would love to see that but I don't think it will happen. the actual sensor part of that sensor board is some really weird proprietary shit. At one point I spent a few days trying to track down exactly what it was and came up empty handed.anyone selling repro lightgun sensors, or have a pcb designed?
Agreed... maybe split this post to make a new thread?I think that last 2 posts deserve a new thread....
*sigh* no..well i'd preorder like 20 of them... you need 10 for a game right?
You're also forgetting the "gun sense" board and the protection board to make the setup compelte. Not worth repoing either of those, nor the led modules because the part cost alone would be more than you can buy them for used.Someone should repro the sensors and the led modules. Sell it all as a kit.
I too would like to know what's needed and would be doubly interested in something just being made. I won a cart a while ago for $15 and haven't seen anything related for sale since.Just tossing this pie in the sky idea out there...but I'd be interested in whatever would be needed to make the Samba de Amigo games playable with a maraca-like set-up on a Naomi.
YAJ. they're up there cheap all the time. I've got 4 of them, in black, and I got them all for less than $30 per complete gun.It'd be nice if someone found a cheaper alternative to the recoiling Namco handguns, but that's another discussion entirely.
Nice! I didn't see any when I just did some searches... what section do they get listed under? The Box/Control Panel one? Any search terms that work usually?YAJ. they're up there cheap all the time. I've got 4 of them, in black, and I got them all for less than $30 per complete gun.
That's a good price. I assume shipping is pretty sizable given their weight though, yeah? Or were they just the gun, no big metal cable?YAJ. they're up there cheap all the time.

they look damn good in black too!
yeah shipping for all 4 was about $60 I think and they did include the metal cables.That's a good price. I assume shipping is pretty sizable given their weight though, yeah? Or were they just the gun, no big metal cable?
no clue, I never even bothered to look since I plan on gutting the original electronics anyway.Also, just curious do those have a 6 or 8 pin connector on them? I've seen both but my harness needs the 6.
I think first and foremost we need to identify that sensor bit. I mean on that sensor PCB there are some caps, some resistors and some 74 series logic ics, nothing that would easily "die" at the rate these do, which means it's likely the sensor itself that is getting damaged. It's worth trying to find a suitable replacement for repair purposes. That's the lynch pin to the whole thing. A repo isn't happening with it anyway.I think the whole thing is stepping on toes. Every part that's been talked about is still readily available brand new. A cheaper alternative being made might be a thing, but a straight repro is just bootlegging at this point.
I'd like to think a lot of their dying off has to do with abuse. The sensor sits right at the tip of the gun, and most games the sensor goes into the holster first. Smack the sensor end of the gun on something enough times and it's bound to do something to the sensor.I mean on that sensor PCB there are some caps, some resistors and some 74 series logic ics, nothing that would easily "die" at the rate these do
no, it's an electrical thing that causes failure. that's why the protect boards exist. they help but it's not enough.I'd like to think a lot of their dying off has to do with abuse
it's weird but buying whole guns seems cheaper than buying just the sensors.I bought Sega guns to replace every time
