Title: is there a way to reduce screen flicker with light guns?
Post by: menace on July 05, 2004, 04:49:51 pm

I finally got both running (oh yeah baby) but the screen flicker is VERY noticeable.  Has anyone discovered any settings on the monitor that will reduce the amount of flicker with each shot?

Without the flicker (white screen flash) the gun wouldn't be able to read the screen position.  You could try to turn down your contrast and brightness, but risk making the gun less accurate.  Maybe find a happy medium.
