EMS Topgun II - When I move the gun fast it locks up, why?

[vetteguy112233]

At one time I had my TOPGUN II working pretty darn good, but had to unplug it and forgot which USB port it went in, so I had to reinstall it and calibrate it. I originally couldn't get it to calibrate, but I found if I shoot about an inch in from each corner of the screen it works just fine, HOWEVER, when I move the gun quickly from side to side, it tries to freeze and becomes very choppy and unresponsive.

Anyone else experience this? Any help would be appreciated.

I'm running Windows XP.

I don't have any experience with the Topgun II but I would try to uninstall the drivers and then reinstall.

Do you mind me asking where you ordered the Topgun from?

Also, I have the old Topgun and if I leave it plugged in when I turn my arcade on, my system won't boot.  Does the Topgun II suffer from the same issue?

Popcorrin,

For the booting problem, you need a USB Hub with the power supply connected. It did work for me.

Pitou!

I got mine from Play-Asia.

As for the bootup issue, the motherboard usually determines that issue. Some motherboards can boot from a USB device and some even have an option in the BIOS to turn this feature off, but not all do. I got lucky with this motherboard and don't have that issue.

I tried a powered usb hub and it didn't help.



I'll have to try it on another motherboard. 

I thought though, it it was fixed on the new guns I would purchase a couple.

Thanks
