cybergeekkid Posted April 10, 2010 Report Share Posted April 10, 2010 I have just recently acquired a "mad catz blaster" it's a blue light gun that looks like it worked at one point. The deal with it is that it has three output ports- ps2, a/v jack video, and USB. I tried plugging it into my PS3, but it didn't recognize it. My PC had no such luck either.I'm running 7 right now...Anyways, after some heavy googling, I found nothing. no one had any drivers, and none were in the making.So my question is this: How can I make a driver for it (i've never made a driver before), and if I can't, who cares enough to make one for me?Thanks.

-pops- Posted April 10, 2010 Report Share Posted April 10, 2010 Writing driver software is highly specialised and requires an intimate knowledge of the hardware it is being written for.Have you tried to contact the manufacturers, http://www.madcatz.com/ to enquire if they can help?

-pops- Posted April 10, 2010 Report Share Posted April 10, 2010 Hmmmmm....I'm doubtful that, in those circumstances, there will be anything you can do. Manufacturers often forget or ignore older versions of their products when something more up-to-date appears on the market.Is there a forum dedicated to this hardware? It's a long shot but there may be some enthusiast who has devised some drivers for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cybergeekkid Posted April 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2010 yeah.... tried looking, but the closest I got was one person on google answers asking, with no replies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanHo Posted April 11, 2010 Report Share Posted April 11, 2010 It would appear that you need to get hold of a PS2 - perhaps via EBay - to make use of your gun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
