Light Gun

If you have any questions on programming, this is the place to ask them, whether you're a newbie or an experienced programmer. Discussion on programming in general is also welcome. We will help you with programming homework, but we will not do your work for you! Any porting requests must be made in Developmental Ideas.

Light Gun

I know I should read the Faq's first and examples and blah, blah, blah....but I'm lazy ;) Can you use a lightun with the KOS libraries or just libdream? If only libdream, has anybody found problems using both API's?

Thx

Neither uses the light gun. KOS is the successor to libdream.
What you want is libronin. And I believe that trying to use both of them could produce some.... ah.... interesting results.
No signature.

No go on running both. It'd be like trying to write a program that uses Windows and Linux at the same time. KOS and libronin both do a lot of the same functions, like memory management, hardware setup, blahblahblah, and those functions would be incompatable.

There's no reason that you couldn't port the lightgun code to KOS, or at least rewrite it to use the KOS Maple API. Or you could use libronin instead.
