I didn’t know patches exist to address the gun region issue. So cool! I’m looking forward to trying them out with my JPN gun.

So I just bought a pair of the Hkt-7800 for my VAO dreamcast ntscu I get the peripheral port a or b region not supported or whatever code, if I unplug it and use a controller on port A I can boot it up to the menu then plug in the guns and they function!

Has anyone else noticed 3rd party guns working better with PAL or Japanese region games? I've been using the Mad Catz light gun, and it works better with the PAL versions of House of the Dead 2 and Confidential Mission.

I found a great deal on eBay for a pair of official light guns; they're en route from Japan.
