Lightgun Calibration is NOT fun...

I have read in many places where everyone loves the LCD topgun and it works great. I haven't had that experience yet.

I am using Smog's Guncon2 driver and I have turned mouse acceleration down to the slowest level in the control panel.  I have a 25" WG monitor in a MK2 cabinet.

When I move the gun, The mouse pointer is always faster than where I am aiming the gun. Nothing I can do will get the mouse pointer to be consistent. So when I am in the lower half of the screen, the mouse pointer is below where I am aiming and in the top half of the screen, the mouse pointer is higher than where I am aiming. When in the center of the screen I am right on.  The same happens on left and right.

I have read posts on this board that and I have tried to shoot outside of the monitor area when doing hardware calibration, but that only mildly alters the degree of the difference.

Anyone have similar issues or know what causes this?

Games001:
I had the same issue, until I cut down on the IR light sources in the room.  Now it works 98% dead on after calibration.

deano728:
The cabinet is in my garage and it is pitch black when testing...  I am a knucklehead, what could be causing the IR source?  What was causing it in your case?  It encourages me that someone else had this problem and it is now fixed.  I can't tell you how long I have been messing with these guns.  My wife thinks I have a problem  -  she is right, the darned lightguns won't work right!!!

fjl:
Maybe there is something in the garage emitting IR light?  :dunno

Kirth:
Maybe an air compressor or a vacuum cleaner.  Their motors would get a bit hot after running.

If you have a Wii you can see IR sources on the calibration screen.  You could wave your wii-mote in the garage and see what shows up.

You could also use a video camera with a night-vision setting.  I think IR sources should show up on that.
