I got my gun yesterday and did some testing, didn't have a chance until late and only messed with it about 1/2 hour or so but it seemed to be working OK so far.
I am using acorn's wingun driver, win xp sp1, P4 2.8GHz, 21" computer monitor.
I mounted the strips on the sides of the monitor with velcro tape (worked good) followed ErikRudd's instruction from his site and his link to Silver Fox steps (very helpful, thanks). (stupid person question, do the led's on the strip use visible light, should I be able to see when they are powered?)
Went through the hardware calibration, mouse seems shaky, from standing about 5 to 6' away I cannot minimize any windows and hard to hit any icon in particular.
Then I went through the wingun calibration, this went pretty good, Question
![Huh ???](http://newforum.arcadecontrols.com/Smileys/default/huh.gif)
should I get something at the end of the targets or does it just go to windows after 6. I don't know if I am missing or if it is complete.
One item I did notice is that my laser pointer would drift off very quickly from sighted in, I would set it to be centered on my aim and in a dozen or so shots it was off by more than an inch or 2. I learned not to use the laser to aim with. This may be due to the recoil.
Also I was not too concerned about the laser pointer but I know I was getting some reflection of my CRT, my eyes hurt after using it a short amount of time. I recommend turning it off, I know I will have to tape it down or one of my kids will point it at his sister.
Tried to play some mame games duckhunt and hogans alley, cursor was all over the screen and could not get a hit. I am using std command line mame.
I do not know where to edit my mame.ini as stated in silver fox's instructions. Do I need to calibrate these games before running? If I am using it as a mouse shouldn't these games work with -mouse option?
I did have a good old basement bare bulb on ceiling close to arcade (between me and the monitor) it did help to turn that off.
Thanks for the help
