Title: retroshooter reaper guns works with vertically mounted monitor?
Post by: SNAAKE on May 27, 2025, 04:43:33 pm

sup gang, I got a project cabinet(lol its time to play some capcom vs snk 2 online). I was wondering if the modern guns would work on a vertically mounted tv? im trying to use a 43" tv which gives me about 27" visible area. just wanna  make sure I can use it for light guns too when I get a pair. I really  dont know/understand how the moden guns work other than what I saw on youtube you put the sensors on the corners and set it up thats it.

If you're asking about monitor angle I am using AimTrak guns with about a 12 - 15 degree lean back with no problem. When originally designing cab I was told for guns the more vertical the better. Don't know about the reaper guns.

not angle, im mounting a 43" monitor vertically and rotate my screen from windows setting so I have about 27" 4:3 aspect ratio. I should probably email the company selling the guns

Ok, got it. Also the AimTrak sensors are mounted above the tv verses mounted around it so this may make a difference. Hopefully someone with a setup closer to yours will chime in :)

well they got back to me saying it should work because screen orientation doesnt matter. guess I will give it a shot(PEWPEW) :burgerking:
