Laser Ghost, light phaser not working...

Post by studentzki »

Hello everybody,

I recently (well, 2 months ago), got a light phaser and laser ghost for my master system II, but I just can't get them to work.
I game on a Sony Trinitron CRT (with a flat screen), but the laser gun for my genesis, saturn, PSX and NES all work fine on this tv, so I don't think that's the problem.

I know that you have to start the game with the controller in port 2 and the gun in port 1, and only pull the trigger when the game starts, but nothing happens :S

I see a white flash everytime I try to shoot and that's it... Quite confusing... There's no crosshair visible so I'm certain that the gun is recognized by the Master System.

I was really looking forward to play a new light gun game (love light gun games :) ), but I can't figure out why this one doesn't work...

Anyone have an idea what the problem could be?

Best regards,
Studentzki

The white flash just means the console is recognizing the gun trigger pull. Problem is the gun may not be reading that CRT. Since your other console lightguns work, not a TV issue. Perhaps a bad lightgun? Any calibration screen in the game? Maybe try another Non-HD CRT just to be sure.
