@Silver:
What I really do in Zombie Raid is:
1)I Run game
2)I press F2
3)I press F3
4)Using P1Start and P2start I go to the Callibration "in game"
5)I calibrate Both players (This calibration is like T2 or Revolution-X)
6)When I Finish all I press F2
7)I press F3
IMPORTANT: After all that I SAVE IN A STATE (Pressing Shift+F7) Because EVERY time I run the game, calibration is Lost. I Learned that 2 years ago with my ugly-crappy Act Labs (It was very painfull to me)
I can not run TIME CRISIS, I Have it in mame 0.95, I have timecrisisa (ROM) and timecrisisb (ROM). But none of them are working. It is not that important, Because I have it in PSX and in PS2. But it doesn´run in my PC. IT "goes out" after 1 minute that rom is loaded
@RANDYT (And everyBody):
For a XBOX: Please, Use a "MAD CATZ BLASTER", or a "BERETTA 92 FS from CYBERGUN/INFOGRAMES" (Not the LCD TOP GUN). This two LightGuns are OFFICIAL And WILL NEVER DISAPPOINT YOU in Xbox Light-Gun games. They are specially designed for XBOX.
For a PS2: Please, use:
1)NAMCO GUNCON 2
2)SCORPION 3 from BLAZE
3)MAD CATZ BLASTER from "Mad Catz"
4)P992L from "Logic 3"
The only officiall is the Guncon2. This one will never Dissapoint you, the other ones are not official, but they work EXCELLENT for an alternative to the "Blue/Orange" NAMCO GUNCON2.
For a PC: Use a "LCD TOP GUN" (Ok, you know it he he he) You´ll never have problems with Dark games or LCD Screens. I think it is the best BECAUSE you can callibrate the EDGES and achive the PERFECT ACCURACY. Obviously, and as you said.....in a PS2 and in a Xbox you´ll shoot about 3 inches away the laser is. It seems that "hardaware Callibration" Is not the way in a PS2 or Xbox. So please, for XBOX and PS2 there are LightGuns Well designed to work FLAWLESSLY.
After all, A PS2/Xbox Ligthgun game has been designed to work with the "Photo Sensor" Of that Lighguns.
If you think you´ll safe 10 USD just for buying another Ligth-Gun for console, cheapest of the ones mentioned above, I think you could be wrong.
IMHO I would consider the "LCD TOP GUN" just for "PC GAMES" and for a PS2/Xbox with a Projector/Big LCD. But mainly just for "PC GAMES" I do not like this Light-Gun in a Xbox/Ps2, Just evade it for Consoles (Just a personall Tip,please, do not offense anyone)
About the LAG : Some months ago, We found in WINGUN A lag when playing House of Dead and mame. Acorns said, that it could be in some VideoCards (mainly a Geforce 4 mx in my case), because WINGUN uses Direct commands and there are some VideoCards that can´t support "Wingun´s directx command + the game using directx + the troubleshooter´s directx commands" . (I hope I´m explainin it well).
YOU CAN SOLVE MAME LAG by Using the "MAME32PLUS+" or some people (Like me) did it by disabling the Directx for MAME32. But for House of Dead.....You can not Disable "TROUBLESHOOTER" Wich uses Direct commands, too.
TO SOLVE IT FOR SURE JUST USE GUNCON2MOUSE. Because it is a MOUSEDRIVER.....Have someone found a Lag with an "Act Labs LightGun"?? -No, Do you know Why?? -BECAUSE IT IS A MOUSE. So if you WANT A PURE MOUSE with your "LCD TOP GUN", please use: GUNCON2MOUSE.
SEE YA!!!!!!!!
