| lightguns on CRT shoot to the right without calibration *solved* |
| (1/3) > >> |
| KenToad:
So I got a Sega light phaser and found that it shoots just to the right of the barrel on my 60 hz Trinitron flat tube CRT. Even if I touch the barrel to the screen, the shots never waver from just right of the barrel, which is odd. I have a Guncon 1 and two Guncon 2's that all shoot perfectly during and after calibration with games that were designed for Guncons. I also have an NES Zapper that seems to be accurate, although it doesn't have a way to see the specific pixels it's targeting and most of the targets are large rectangles. Lately, I've been messing around with PS1 games like Lethal Enforcers I and II and Project Horned Owl that I patched to use the Guncon instead of Konami's Justifier and they have the same problem of shooting just to the right of the barrel, even after calibration. I would assume that the calibration screen hasn't been patched to work properly. Anyway, I'm posting this after much fruitless searching for a solution online to see if perhaps someone on these forums has encountered a similar issue. *Edit* Quality component cables fixed this problem. Details in post #10 below. |

My light phaser shoots slightly off to the left so no you are not alone. Never bothered to look into it but I suspect the only fix would be to nudge the sensor over a bit inside the gun. |

I forgot to mention that I did open up the phaser and attempt to nudge the sensor to no avail. I didn't take the whole thing out of the housing because it doesn't work well without the lens in place. I also thoroughly cleaned the lens. |

| KenToad:
No difference. The weirdest part is how I can place the tip of the gun against the screen and the shots still register to the right of the barrel, leading me to think this might be a TV issue. With the phaser, it's at least nice that you can see exactly where your shots are hitting with the Marksman game. |
