I had to suffer through the mostly boaring and excessivly LOOONNNNGGG rants of retrogaming radio... (luckily there was the fast forward option)... but at the end, shane notes the problem with the the slight aiming drift, and what fixes it:
Actlabs notes that a black border can cause calibration problems... but what you may not remember, is that your monitor may not be perfectly centered and expanded on Each Different Resolution Setting.
Make sure that after you get the game started, that you adjust your monitor with the size and postion buttons so that there is no black border, and that its perfectly centered.
Also, to any new gun receivers, some other tips...
1 - Make sure you are using Windows Mame version .61
2 - Make sure to enable lightgun support for the said game
3 - T2 is not a lightgun game. It wont work correctly. It uses a phony gun mounted on an analog joystick assembly.
4 - Set up the controls so that reload is the right mouse button. Either use the reload on the gun... or shoot offscreen will then activate the reload.
5 - Calibrate your monitor so that its fully expanded and perfectly centered.
6 - Calibrate the gun with the calibrate switch
7 - Calibrate the gun in the games 'Test Menu'. Pressing F2 usually gets to the test menu of most games. You can also get there by changing the dip settings.
8 - Exit test and have fun : )
9 - Repeat all steps for each game.
10 - Play some shockwave games like 'xiaoxiao' Wicked fun! ^_-
