Dreamcast Starfire lightgun help

Post by Chickensuit »

I have 3 dreamcast starfire lightguns that i recently pulled out of storage to participate in this go around of together retro. As we were playing, i noticed that all three guns shot hard to the left of their target. Compensating for this can get annoying...
I was just wondering, is there an adjustment or calibration...

Also, i have a trinitron flat tube television, does that affect the accuracy of it at all?

I'm no expert but I'd bet it is your tv throwing them off.

that's interesting. I know that the guncon 2 has a targeting thing before the games start to help correct problems. I'm assuming that none of the lightguns for dc have this?

none of the DC lightguns were all that accurate.

as long as your TV is a CRT it should be fine. Try recalibrating over and over.

well i know house of the dead 2 had a gun calibration option.

i own the same light gun
and if you use the calibration settings it becomes pretty damn accurate
but sadly it's not too accurate by default

i'd have to assume most games would have to have similar options
so i'd start looking through the options menu
