its this one - http://www.segaarcade.com/archive/lostworld.aspx and click on deluxe cabinet. Massive big beast.

So there was a game that was built and released that used IR tracking way back in 1997. That deluxe cabinet puts the user pretty close to the monitor. I wonder why it's so hard to make a gun system today that works well? I mean, there's NO way this would have sold if the gun wasn't reliable, so we should be able to have one made today using the same type of hardware, right?
I know this is the wrong thread, but oh well. Maybe others will see this and look into the IR system Sega used. I wouldn't know how to do anything with it, so...

Since the unit uses a rear projection screen the sensors probably will work with any type of screen of the same size to keep within the calibration limits. I see that there are alot of fixes for the IR sensors so they must be prone to damage hence the added protection circuits.

i worked on lots of these,this is a common problem when the gun cables short out.
there is a upgrade kit supplied by sega that prevents this happening
your friend will need to disconnect all the screen sensors and visually inspect all for burnt out led,then disconnect both guns from the gun i/o board and check for shorts
anyone of those sensors remains with a short and then you can get more burn out so you will need to prove all are fine and the same with the gun cables
in some instances the actual gun i/o board can cause this
if i was fixing this then i would leave the guns disconnected and connect each screen sensor one by one to see what happens
