Mouse is faster than lcd topgun's cursor?
(1/3) > >>
kingdomkz:
Now i have tried both the EMS LCD Topgun and Smog's Guncon2PC Driver, and STILL i have the same problem where the mouse is faster than the topgun moves, how do I fix this? This is a major problem when trying to use Mame when I can't see the cursor on screen. Specifically in Zombie Raid because I haven't been able to test any other lightgun games yet, (mainly because my MAME DVDS haven't arrived yet...)
Xiaou2:

 the guns realtime tracking will always be slower than a mouse.  However, when you press the
trigger, it instantly updates.

 Using the guns for 'Analog Positional' gun games is not exactly what these were intended or
designed for.


 
northerngames:
turn the mouse sensitivity down in windows perhaps.

control panel / printers and othr hardware / mouse

So then this is only going to be a problem for "certain" games, like for example Zombie Raid as I mentioned, because no matter how i calibrate it, the gun is ALWAYS inaccurate so I cannot tell where I'm hitting.
Xiaou2:

 Well, I partly misunderstood something you said  I think.

  Northern is correct in that you want to disable mouse acceleration,  and maybe even reduce
sensitivity in windows.

  If anything,  one would move the gun and the cursor would lag behind it because the
guns realtime tracking will not be as fast.    If the cursor is moving further, then the acceleration
is the cause.   

 Yet, no matter how close you get.. it will never be perfect because the hardware is not
designed the same way as the original guns.


 Zombie Raid used Positional Guns.  Which are basically just Analog Joysticks.  In fact,  you should be
able to control the game even better when using them instead.  T2 was also such a game.

 Area 51 however, is a true lightgun game.   It doest track in realtime.  Only when the trigger is pressed.

 There are hybrids..  which use the Topguns same technology.   Led infered sensors.   However, these
also are not realtime tracking as far as I know.   

 Realtime tracking with near perfect accuracy is possible..  but it would require some extra horsepower with
dedicated processors  and or a dedicated PC card  ..I think.
