Hello!
Got a problem with TimeCrisis III for the ps2 (but XBOX HOTD3 works pefectly).
I can't shoot on the whole screen, only on about 3/4 of it, the right/bottom side
can not be reached by the topgun an I have done the calibration in similar way as
on the XBOX but with the switch on the bottom of the gun set to 'P'.
Whats wrong with my gun!?!? ..seems to work for other people..
Thankful for any help!

Firstly, please make sure that the gun is far enough from the screen. Before you do the calibration, please aim the gun at every point on the screen and the two LED stands, make sure that the laser pointer keeps solid red. During the calibration process, you may try to shoot a little bit inside the screen. thanks  |

Hi again!
Well, as I stated earlier, XBOX works perfectly but PS2 does not, so
I should be at the right distance from the screen/stands.
Calibrating by shooting inside the screen leads only to one thing (at best)
and that is better accuracy within the 3/4 of the screen that I'm able to shoot within.

Maybe the gun thinks I'm running the game in 16:9 NTSC (538x480) while its actually is being run in 4:3 PAL (720x576), could that be the case?

Update:
I have now tested Ninja Assault (which has 50/60 hz option) and guess what,
when running 50hz I get exactly the same problem as I had with TC3 but 60hz
worked (although could not shoot by the edges here either, but about 2cm away
from each side, but it was playable).
Guess its tough luck then for the people out there who bought this gun and only
has PS2 and 50hz (PAL) games then, because for them this gun is useless.

Well, PAL / NTSC is not a problem.
If you play a PAL game with a PAL console, no problem at all.
If you play a NTSC game with a NTSC console, no problem at all.
But, if you play a PAL game with a NTSC console, you will find that the gun is not accurate at all.
Thanks.

Well thats strange, because my console is PAL.
I noticed another interesting thing though. I could actually move
the window I'm able to shoot within by shooting at various points in the TC3 calibration mode (not the guns internal calibration that is), but can only calibrate along the Y-axis, guess the gun is not 100% G-con2 compatible either..

Another update, this time its positive thank god! I have now successfully calibrated the TopGun for all Namco-games on PS2 and boy was it tricky.... Ok, here we go.. I did a plain internal calibration of the gun buy shooting left-led and the corners dead on. Then I went into 2-point calibration mode in the game by shooting outside of the screen and pressing C-button at the exact same time as the trigger-button, then I had to press the select-button exactly at the same time as the trigger button at the right/bottom corner of the screen a couple of times until the crosshair move into the top left hand of the screen, the I could shoot that crosshair and start the actual in-game calibration. I was then able to get the Y-axis right and tweak the x-axis so that the shooting-frame was stretched to the far right of the screen. At this point the x-axis wasnt linear so when pointing the gun at the left edge of the screen the cursor drifted to the left. So now I recalibrated the gun with the internal calibration again and shot a little bit outside of the screen by the left edge and dead on at the right top/bottom edge.. Now I got extremely good accuracy across the whole screen... If someone want a video of how I calibrated the gun I could probably make one and put online somewhere but my time is limited and I want to go play now, but if you send me enough money through paypal I might consider it .. here is my paypal adress by the way: turbo_trader_of_sweden@hotmail.com Good luck to you all who read all this with the guncon games on the PS2!!! Over and out! /geeklund |

It's nice that you could make it to work. If you have any question about the TopGun, feel free to post here. Thanks |
