EMS Topgun thing :/
david656:
topgun 1
Its the 3 on the left 2 on the right strips
nope i gave up and got abusive with the pc in question, took the gun to my arcade machine today with the EMS drivers and installed them but again the HID compatible mouse part didn't seem to get detected or even be asked for by the drivers.
humm that was dead odd... i mean my PC case must of had voltage going through it or something because it was enough that you could see a light come from my finger and go to the case ! not too sure why it happened... maybe something to do with it was on the carpet or something... but it did it repeatedly.. then i unplugged it and fiddled about and it stopped.
i feel i've probably damaged the gun beyond repair now.. it was second hand but ! it was fully working for about 2 hours before i moved all my pc to try on my TV then sparks flew and that was it xD. things have a tendency to break around me on the first day of having them ! it always happens somehow.
cheers for the interest

Bugger - thats annoying. All I can think of is that the second hand gun had an issue before you got it.
I am surprised you are having trouble with the new drivers but that could be down to the gun being spiked as you say. If its any consolation I can confirm that with 2 brand new topgun2's that the drivers work perfectly- and that you only need ems drivers
I spent a fortune getting my cab right trying different things. Hey if you can stretch to it buy a brand new gun and try again

The case of your computer is NOT supposed to be electrified. Forget the light guns and fix that. If it's giving shocks you could easily shock a component of the computer such as the RAM, CPU or any of the different chips on the motherboard and graphics card and kill them.
Find out what is electrifying the case and fix it, even if you have to replace the CPU or case itself to do it. It's REALLY not a safe way to operate a computer.
Nothing on that system should be electrocuting you under most circumstances unless you're jamming your fingers into power connectors or licking the I/O ports.
