EMS TOPGUN 3 MANUAL PC
I wonder what my PC thinks mouse 5 is.? (I have 2 trackballs & spinners, which are mouse 1-4.).Ī) Pull off the smoked & clear glass & art, tape the light bars in front of the monitor, replace the glass, & try again. When you pull the trigger to left click it, the cursor also kicks with the gun kickback.Į) Now my new guns are mouse 6 & mouse 7.

Smart!ĭ) With the recoil turned on, it's impossible to click on an icon on the Windows desktop to launch it (I have my Windows set for single click-I try to minimize my double clicks). Boy, that was a pain to figure out!Ĭ) The laser pointer automatically shuts off when you're not pointing at the screen, so you can't blind anybody else in the room. I thought that I could do my settings for both guns & then upload once. After selecting this, you need to upload the settings to the gun. There's a checkbox on the TopGun program to release mouse control when the gun's not pointing at the screen. Weird.ī) This drove me nuts for a while-I had trouble trying to regain cursor control with my trackball. Solution: turn off the laser pointer! Sounds simple, & it's a shame to turn off such a cool feature, but as soon as I turned it off, I was shooting *way* better.Ī) For some reason, I got better shot alignment (between the laser pointer & on-screen game shots) on my MAME cab when I held the gun about 1-2' higher during calibration than during usage. The offest between the laser pointer & the shots wasn't always the same, based on where I was shooting. It all went smoothly.Ĭ) After calibration, I noticed that I had trouble getting linear behavior when standing about 4ft away from the center of the monitor. I continued the rest of the installation process as described above.

Pics: ī) Because I want to install the light bars behind the glass (I've got lots of room), I taped them to the front of the glass in positions right in front of where I expect they'll go. When you're back several feet, the bottom 1/2" or so of the monitor is eclipsed by the bezel art, because the monitor's got a pretty large tilt to it (OK, so I'm not the tallest tool in the shed.). I've got a smoked glass (which stymied my Act Labs guns) & clear glass sandwiching some flat bezel artwork that frames the monitor nicely when you're standing at the controls. It's got a 27" Betson multisync monitor, running at 800圆00 shoehorned in it. I use annoying ALL CAPS in the previous sentence because, on my MAME cab, the accuracy offset seems to vary as I shoot on different parts of my screen.some non-linear behavior based on my location & the bars' location, I guess?Ī) My cab started life as a Simpsons. If your calibration turns out to be off a little bit AND STAYS OFF IN THE SAME OFFSET, then you can simply tweak the laser pointer adjustment wheels to match your shots. H) I discovered what *may* be a useful trick (perhaps totally obvious.?). Apart from some minor calibration offsets, they seemed to work as advertised.
Then I fire up Egg Venture to test both guns.
EMS TOPGUN 3 MANUAL DRIVERS
Got an error with the driver dialog box, but it still installed OK (I later found out that, when installing on my MAME cab, it just copies over the same drivers anyway, so it doesn't seem to matter.). COOL! I was standing about 4ft away from the screen. Then the mouse tracked the laser pointer very very well. I needed to point it to the driver but once (the paper instructions said I'd have to do it thrice).Į) Per the instructional video, I held A & B for 5ish seconds to enter calibration mode, the laser target fired up, & I shot at the top left bank of LEDs, then the top left screen corner, top right screen corner, bottom right screen corner, then bottom left screen corner. Everything went according to the instructions, as far as driver installation went. Bars are about 11" apart vertically & the top bar is about 6" farther back than the bottom bar.Ĭ) Plugged in light bars to USB port & got an LED lit upĭ) Plugged in 1 gun. I propped the top horizontal light bar across the printer & scanner shelves, about 3-4" above & behind the top of the screen. I tilted it slightly upwards by placing USB thumb drives under its front edge.
Drag.Ī) Downloaded latest driver from EMS-it matched what came on my mini DVD, dated June 2008.ī) I set 1 light bar horizontal along the media buttons at the laptop hinge, about 1" below the screen.
The 1st headache was that, when I uninstalled my Act-Labs guns, it bumped my spinners from mouse IDs 5 & 6 down to 3 & 4, so I have to go into MAME & remap aallll my spinner games. So, I spent much of today messing with my new pair of EMS TopGun II guns.
