Guns & Mame - Some questions
Rusty Shackelford:
I third the smoked glass question-also the tv+glass are at an angle if that make a difference.

If anyone has a fix for this, I'd be interested.

These types of games will require you in Mame to go to the service dip switch (tab button) and flip the switch for service mode, restart the game (f3). Then go through the calibration for the gun for that game. You have to do this for all Sammy games to be calibrated. This will be saved and will only have to do this once. Then switch off from service mode and restart.

Talking about dedicated light gun cabinets what do you guys think about using the Wii as console?
I don't own one, but just noticed that there are quite a few interesting titles out there like Resident Evil etc...

hmm maybe... hack your wii and get your games on the hdd, get a hacked wii control so you can play some of your other games via a control panel (new super mario brios i.e.). REally though it would be just the same as doing it in your living room if you just want it for the shooting games since you will be using wii motes.

Thanks for the reply. Knowing someone else has it working will motivate me to keep trying.
Even in the calibration screen in service mode of the Sammy games, things are wonky.
The shot registers about a 1/4" below and to the right at the center.
I did this with a mouse & turned the crosshairs on in mame. If I move the arcade (+) crosshairs to the center & hit the trigger, it just throws things farther off.
I then aimed about 1/4" below and to the right of center until I got the arcade crosshairs to line up with the mame crosshairs.
It doesn't seem to get any worse towards the edges of the screen.
The game seems playable with the mouse & mame crosshairs now.
(I hadn't tried it with the mouse before)
Hopefully what I learned will translate over to the light gun.
