A little more work on this today: Mimic, yah, I'd say that the the calibration *seems * be better in the middle & drift towards the edges, but it's difficult to quantify. Well, I pulled apart my cab & taped the 2 light bars in the nook between the tube & the plastic bezel (Happ 27" bezel: 49-0106-00). Then I put the glass & monitor art back. So, the stuff between the light bars & the guns is: 1: Tempered clear glass, 1/8" thick (from Peninsula Glass) 2: Bezel artwork from MAME Marquees, opaque 3: Tempered #31 gray tinted glass, 1/8" thick (from Peninsula Glass) It looks like this: http://i242.photobucket.com/albums/ff97/infernolab/Arcade%20Game/10bezel.jpg , except I had simply laid these 3 items pretty much vertical, with their bottom in the correct place & their top against the marquee's bottom bracket, as they're very awkward to put in & take out with my control panel opened up (to unclamp them at their base). At first, I got nothing at all. No response from the guns. Then I realized that the bottom light bar was a bit on the low side & the opaque marquee bezel artwork was blocking it. So, I moved both bars in until they were about 1/4 of the way in from the top & bottom of the monitor & stood on a chair to make sure that I had nice line-of-sight to the bars. The gun now worked, but it was herky jerky & would often cut out & couldn't keep the accuracy that it could with nothing between the gun & bars. Just to be thorough, in case I was dealing with some reflection issue of shooting through glass almost straight-on, I went through the pain (my back!!!) of replace the glasses properly against the monitor so that I'd be shooting through at an angle. No dice. No good. I barely got through the calibration setup--it wouldn't recognize the corners as valid target points & still kept cutting out & tracking awfully. Soooooooo, I guess I'm mounting my bars outside of my glass! :-\ -Jason |

Jason whenever you got time and feel like it, do me a favor and test the following games: critter crusher, steel gunner 2 & Zombie raid. I'm experiencing issues with calibration with all of these games, let me know if you get any problems with them. |

I'll check tommorow again to be sure. Btw steel gunner 1 also had same problem as with steel gunner 2, game recticle would just stay in center of the screen. |

I have the originals and had them both going fine and then on the next power up they were on the fritz. Tried one at a time and would somewhat go ok but now I cannot get either to work right again. Ordering the larger led stand as I think it may be the problem with calibrating correctly but also it have had crazy driver issue's with these and only got them to actuall work on 1 pc but there all running the same os on 3 different one's. |
