| New Lightgun Testing - What would you like to see? |

Ok Guys I said a few weeks ago I had some interesting opportunities coming up regarding lightgun tech. Well this weekend I am meeting up with Andy Sinden (The guy behind the Sinden lightgun), He is allowing me to have a play with his product and do some tests etc. He has asked me as I live within a reasonable distance and has realized I am a light gun whore which you all know :p I think he is looking for some feedback as well as allowing me to try this out first hand as a independent reviewer. Now I have a list of stuff I would like to test out and games to try but what would you guys like to see? * I am obv going to be checking how well it tracks both from normal in front positions but also while being off at angles etc * Try to test it out on a CRT if I manage to track a working one down before Sat. * Be trying to work out min distances from screen * Emulator/PC game compatibility * Effects of light and reflective surfaces * Effects of lag Now obv we will be constrained in terms of what I have available in terms of equipment and time but is there any burning questions you would like me to ask or things to test out (if possible)? I was hoping I could maybe do a side by side with my A51:S4 cab but allas mame does not emulate S4 properly yet so thats a no go. I also dont have a capture card so everything will be filmed via a standard cam. We will be capturing video footage and maybe some stills etc but I obv have to be respectful of his IP if there are things he does not want in the public domain yet. Any who I think this is a great opportunity to try this hardware out and give the guy some help in terms of positive feedback along with any improvement or limitations etc. So yeah let me know if you have anything. |

I wish someone who wasn't so happy with their Aim-Traks was testing it. Move the gun around a lot during play. Make sure MAME has been set up properly. People complain about lag on positional gun games when they haven't even adjusted sensitivity or dead zone. |

If you have a go pro, mount it on the gun looking down the sights. |

Cheers for the vote of confidence there! :s To be clear I am happy with my AT’s because they do the job and are better than anything else on the market that I have tried (and I have tried nearly all of them). No they aint as good as a real light gun but they are far better than all other IR guns. I do have a small go pro style camera which I can hopefully tape on. Was planning on playing point blank as that moves the gun around and tests accuracy better than any other game I can think of. |

I think if u can get hold of a crt to test that would be handy to see how it handles (or doesn’t!) the curvature of the screen |
