What causes mouse/gun offset?
BobA:
I was working on my gun games using the mouse and I have a problem with all shots for the 1 player being offset by about an inch on the screen. I am using the regular PS2 mouse driver in XP and I have no acceleration or other fancy settings on the mouse. The shots register about 1 inch to the right of where my cursor crosshair is located.
Does anyone know what I should adjust to fix this?
Thanks

Can't you calibrate the gun?
BobA:
I had thought of that but the game does not give any access to gun calibration. I was trying Gunbullet and nothing seems to bring up a calibration routine that I could find. By the way I am using a mouse not a gun. I thought that the mouse was self calibrated to shoot where it shows its crosshair.

Update:
Tried area51 and it worked fine. Are there different gun/mouse drivers in different games?

Each gun game driver works some voodoo magic on the value mame passes as the mame gun input (range from -128 to 128) to (supposed to) a valid game value (different game to game). So, I guess the answer is "sort of".
Let me check Gunbullet...
