| ACT LABS lightgun (VGA/USB model) ... calibration offset by ~100 pixels |
| (1/3) > >> |
| ARTIFACT:
(on a CRT monitor, plugged via VGA > RGB via BNC leads adapter) the title says it all Am I not calibrating right? ... the instructions are VAGUE at best ("wave slowly back and forth...") It seems to work with my monitor, I can shoot and it moves the cursor BUT it is off by 100 pixels both vertically (toward the top) and horizontally (toward the left) Do you know if this is a sign that it won't work at all with my monitor/setup? I currently have a gray smoked plexi in front of my monitor. I haven't tried without yet. Could this be the issue? THANK YOU! |

OK the act labs guys are GREAT they replied to my email (which was essentially a copy/paste of the post above) and they already got back to me (within hours!) with a long and detailed list of advice on how to calibrate the guns correctly. I will apply what they said tonight, and hopefully the gun will work well :) thumbs up to the Act Labs guys. |

I hope you'll share the calibration procedure. I've been really disappointed with the gun's performance. |
| ARTIFACT:
To summarize: . in the dark (turning off room lights / 6 recessed flood lights) it works ok . still have about ~30 pixels offset too high vertically (that's "ok"...) . works beautifully in Model2 / House of Dead, etc . CANNOT play in MAME ... set lightgun_device lightgun, etc... but the issue is that the gun button is not triggering the "Button 1" in MAME... Hitting the Happ pushbutton manually "shoots" where I last shot the gun.... WEIRD. MAME config??? I had fun in HOD though :) |

Any chance you can share everything that Act-Labs sent you for calibration help? (copy and paste?) Mine is offset a little high and to the right. The calibration instructions are pretty vague. Thanks.... |
