GunCon2 on PC-monitor

tivogre: it sounds like screenflashing isn't enabled/working for you (it does work with the FX series of cards). Either that, or there is glass over your monitor, or dirt on your gun. The gun registers as offscreen whenever it is pointed at black/dark colors (hence the screenflashing when you fire).

The resolutions issue is strange, but I think that monitor supports progressive and interlaced modes at different resolutions. Others have had similar issues with it.

"Select" and "D" not being recognised are interesting... I'll have to get with you and get a log to see what data the gun is returning when they are pressed. Most "D" buttons are just C+Offscreen, but I can't see why Select wouldn't work.

There definitely seems to be some issue going on with the timing of the screen flash.

I can see the screen flash when I pull the trigger, but about 1/3 - 2/3 of shots in A51 register as off screen reloads.  If I crank up the gamma and brightness, the accuracy is great.... It just look like the screen is always "flashed".  Almost  like the read of position is not happening while the screen is bright.  Very strange.

There is glass over the monitor, but it and the gun are clean.  The glass is clear glass.  It works fine on brighter games or if I "artificially brighten".
Lilwolf:
could this be the positive / negative sync signal being sent? 

You might consider trying to get it working on a standard VGA monitor and see if the some resolutions work and others dont.  Also that utility that allows you to set all your monitor / refresh settings down to a the mhz.... what is it called???...  That allows you to specify the sync to be positive or negative.  Might be able to install the demo and try it.

It might.

Not been up to date with this (or the newer jpac chip) but you can set the polarity of  the syncs at any resolution if you have a radeon - its in the driver settings.

Powerstrip will also let you do this if its supported by the card.
