No, all guns are different! I do not think you can make a game recognize some other devices it is not supposed to work with.

As I said earlier, only "A.D Cop / A.D Cop - Overseas Mission" and "BonBon Paradise" / "BonBon Lite".

OK, I've ordered PC Gamegun as well, but a more expensive new thing in a complete box...

Well, I now have all those PC guns 😀 That existed for DOS/PC-booter.
The Spanish one, the French one, the American one, and the Taiwanese one.

There of them were complete in boxes, the last two were new.

But the French gun - West Phaser by Loriciel(s) is the rarest and the most interesting one!
It does not work for me yet, unfortunately 🙁 According to the covers, it requires CGA or EGA, won't work on VGA monitors.

Does anybody know what is the technology here? It sounds rather strange for me that they released an EGA-only gun at the end of 1989. Nobody in France had VGA monitors then, really?
The game says to shoot at the center and then to hold the gun while it flashes - that test passes fine. But then it says to shoot the central square five times - and after the first shot, the screen goes white, and the game freezes.
