Got any video of 2 players in action? I had some CRT light guns in The Beast, but the screen flashing during 2 player games was downright unbearable.

Thanks, I had to boost the video audio a bit for the in-game sound to be heard and quality has been sacrificed a tad, making the guns sound quite a bit more snappy than in the flesh ;)

The recoil can be turned off on the cab though if it did start to mess with the melon, through MAMEHooker. :dizzy:

I haven't got any vids yet but definitely in the games that originally used a positional analog joystick as a gun, like T2, Alien 3 and RevX, the flashing can be a bit much  8)

I have the flash duration shortened to 1ms through MAMEHooker though, and that definitely helps.
I suppose it wouldn't be any worse compared to original dedicated cabs that had the flash thing going on  :dunno

Jollywest,
Looking at doing a similar project with one of my cabs. I have a few questions for you. Are you running groovymame or standard MAME? If GM, are you running multiple resolutions with your monitor or sticking with one? I read about calibration issues if switching resolutions. I have a trisync monitor in my game.

Have you used demul, or any of the other emulators?

I know necrobump... But this thread is where all the info resides.

Hi, I'll do my best to help out but it was a while ago and the memory is a bit fuzzy.

Pretty sure I used GroovyMame and I definitely only used one resolution - 640 x 480 ...
Otherwise every time you change resolutions, you have to recalibrate the guns in windows.

As for different emulators, I have Demul, Sega Model 2, Supermodel and MAME setup. I also have a few PC Games as well.

Not tried the Demul Shooter program though.
