I didnt really know if this was a good place to post this or not but here goes. Today i bought a TOP SHOT ELITE. its periphereal witch is made for the xbox 360 and communicates with the xbox 360 wireless-ly . i am wondering
(in theory)
Why would it not work on a pc?

heres the facts i know about it so far.

-it has an infrared camera in the barrel.
-it uses IR leds placed by the screen (much like a wiimotes sensor bar
-i have a wireless gaming receiver for windows.
- i can successfully connect the controller and use all the bottons on it.
-the only function thats not working is the +Z (half)axis. the -z (half)axis is used by the trigger on the gun. could this axis alone hold all the information the controller needs to calibrate a position on screen?
-Is there a way of making proprietery IR leds that would make this work only with thier own camera? because i dont own the ir led sensor bar that came with the gun, why would it not work with a wireless one made for wii?

let me know what you think. give me some ideas. if im in the totally wrong spot posting this maybey point me somewhere else? maybey theres a site thats based around this kind of modification you could direct me towards.

it turns out that the other half of the z axis is used by the pump action on the gun. now i have no more bright ideas. i dont think any kind of data is even being recognized by the current drivers as theyr arent any other axis' which arent in use in the controller properties. i dont see any other unrecognized devices when its hooked up. im at a stand still untill i could somehow compare the raw data thats being sent to the receiver. and even then im not exactly sure the receiver was made to pick this information up and if it did im not sure i could make any use of it anyways.
 
I was wondering if you found a solution. I am interested in using this controller on my PC (Windows 7) and have it also connected to my TV screen if possible. Thank you. You can also email at shaded_powder@yahoo.com
