It used a ccd / IR gun like most Sega arcade shooters. House of the Dead is really the only Dreamcast light gun game worth playing and the original arcade did not use a real light gun. A poor quality light gun is as bad as a low quality IR gun imo. Me too, usually, but given what people have said about the poor accuracy of Dreamcast light guns, I'd be curious how that IR gun performs by comparison. Once great guns can lose accuracy over time as caps age. The type of lighting in the room, the size of monitor, the shape of the screen - some work better on flat CRT's than others. There are other factors that effect light gun accuracy though. I didn't have such high standards until I tried the official GC2. In terms of why some think a specific gun is great while others don't, it's most likely about expectations. I experienced the same shakey crosshairs during calibration with the CCD gun on a Time Crisis 4 arcade cab recently. All gun controller tech has the potential for accuracy issues. those were my favorite times of the Dreamcast When the dreamcast first came out my buddies owned two mad catz lightguns for house of the dead. Dating back from the Master System to the PS2. I've always had great experience with all lightguns I've used. I never knew lightguns had this sort of accuracy issue I currently have seventeen 3rd party guns, 6 official Namco guns, two TC arcade guns and an Act Labs light gun, so I stand behind what I said here. 3rd party guns also require that you turn brightness and contrast way up or the crosshairs won't reach the edge of the screen. Every 3rd party gun I have seen (which is a lot) has shakey crosshairs that don't stay on target once you move a little. The crosshairs are rock solid and accuracy is repeatable. You can see the difference most on the calibration screen. The official GC2 is noticeably more accurate than my Time Crisis arcade guns too. All of the 3rd party guns on the PS2 and PS1 suck. Yes, the official Namco Guncon 2 is head and shoulders above all other home light guns. Are PS2 guns really that much better in the accuracy department? This thread really has me curious about digging them out again, although I only have a 14" PVM to play on CRT-wise these days, so obviously not the same experience as the 32" CRT I used back then. I recall nearly 1ccing the game, so I don't think the experience could have been that terrible. I'm not a lightgun aficionado, but I have two of the Madcatz guns that I bought pretty much exactly when HOTD2 was released and I never had any issues with them.
