xbox softmodded and battle boss gun

A buddy and I just purchased 3 of the Beretta 92fs lightguns, and will be doing testing  on every emulator with gun support.

Any additional information on the status of the Beretta 92fs with emulators that people have already tried would be helpful.

Will post back here when we have something worthwhile to share.

Hmm I've bought the Beretta 92fs, it works perfectly in the calibration screen of Mameox but blows in any of the games.  In operation wolf it's like it treats 1/3 of the screen as the entire range of the gun, so if you move to the top right of the actual screen it moves to roughly around the middle.
Terminator 2 the cross hair is off the screen somewhere despite the in built terminator 2 calibration screen appearing to recognise it moving around.
I think the gun must send some weird range numbers to the mameox control system. I notice it switches from positive to negative numbers somewhere roughly around the middle of the screen.
If anyone has got any ideas let me know please.
I'm using a Grundig Xentia 72cm tv I believe it's 100hz but I've tried it in with the xbox outputting normal PAL, PAL60 and NTSCM (TV can display these modes), same thing occurs in all of them - calibration screen works perfectly, games barely work at all.  I think maybe the Mameox control system doesn't currently pay any heed to the calibration screen?

Hello
i am new to posting here so i hope i do not break any of your rules.
Here is my scenerio. I do not know anything about computers at all. i bought an xbox with a 200 gb hd loaded with avalaunch and a bunch of emulators and the roms to the games that i own.
    I bought town boss batlles guns. i have HOD3 and starsky.  i am playing it on a regular magnavox tv.
   When i calaborate it(with anything including HOD3 and emu's) it only goes to about 1/3 of the way over to either side and then the cursor starts moving aound everywhere.  it aims fine at the middle and lower parts.
   i have had this xbox running through an hd tv so maybe the settings are off somehow. i turned off all hd settings and to normal tv in the dash. -didnt work.
i turned all the settings in the emu's to normal viewing ..didnt work
HOD3 does the same thing it points fine at the middle but not the side.
   heres the thing i have a seperate xbox that is unmodded and the guns and Hod3 work great on it...
    i would really love to play some of my old games through my xbox and would greatly appriciate any helpful info....

have u tried making ur tv brighter?

[boomd1]

yes i tried making it brighter and darker. im thinking its somewhere in the xbox settings or configure. it works the same on the emu's and HOD3 it calabs fines in the middle and center but in the tops and sides it wont go to and bounces around. i have another xbox which i set up to see how it worked on the same tv ..it works fines everything is clabed and works perfect.
thanks again if you can help

[boomd1]

i have tried numerous of settings..... i just dont know what to try any more... i really want to play my old school favorites...
the un modded xbox works fine w/ xbox games.... the modded xbox wont calaberate right with xbox games or emulators...

Hey guys thought id Contribute

2 boss battle guns off ebay - damn good price too

philips old ass 27 inch tv  , xbox moded with "jump mod" no chip, not software

at first i had the problem with only part of the screen working ,
but then i calibrated on both mame and house of the dead

 these things work awesome,


full screen trailing , no jumping of cursors ,

hope this helps guys!! , need an aliens shooting game anyone know if any of mameox's run alien 3 shooter??

Good Luck

[turns2ashes]

hi. im new here

so i picked up a madcatz blaster and hotd3 the other day. great stuff.

the real reason i bought the gun was to try it on the emulators. i am determined to find out which xbox-playable roms can be played with a lightgun.

so far, the emulators ive used that support a gun are mameox, xSnes9x, and fce ultra.

all of the NES zapper games work fine, lethal enforcers on snes works ok.

mame roms that ive tried:
- lethal enforcers 1: loads but goes to a black screen
- operation wolf: seems to work ok
- alien 3 gun: works good, except for some gfx problems with the rom
- one shot one kill: works ok
- gunbuster: works ok
- lucky and wild: loads but lags down to a freeze once gameplay begins
- lethal enforcers 2, operation wolf 3, and terminator 2: all load and seem to be playable, except that the calibration doesnt seem to work in the roms. whenever you fire the gun, the shots are always pointed at a corner of the screen, and the in-rom service mode calibration thing seems to function but doesnt fix the problem of the gun not being calibrated in the game.

so thats what ive found out so far. if anyone can remeber any other cool gun arcade machines, or knows of any other x emulator that supports lightgun, or an updated mame that has better support than mameox, let me know. thx.

a segacd or psx emu w/ lightgun spprt would be awesome

boomed please make the effort to use different words man , you posted that copy and paste twice on the page right before this ,



Have you tested your guns on a friends modded xbox?  or a friends tv,
where did you get your guns for instance ,  

one of my guns arrived and it shoots auto  when shooting single  so i need to open it up and fix the solder point ,  

do you know what kind of chip your machine has ,

do both guns have that problem does one work better than the other ,

 i mentioned before i had the same exact problem as you with my guns ,  i thought i was screwed ,

but calibrating them in mameox b3 launcher  fixed them for mame ,

the segas work great the konami's not so well some dont acknowledge the cuscor prolly use a different type of code for talking to the gun , and then theres that damn white flash in some games when you shoot , i need a mame code to stop it if one even exists cant see a damn thing in alien 3, i dont even wanna imagine whats its like with 2 people shooting

anyway help us help you man

[badmonkey]

That white flash is how the light guns work. Get rid of that, and you won't be shooting much of anything.

[m@gnus]

I noticed that i never posted my gun schematics. So here they are!

My gun is made by High Clear Games. It say it supports 100Hz <1080> TV's. Also compatible on 50Hz/60Hz TV games.


My TV is a 60Hz NTSC.

My gun works in HOTD, Starsky & Hutch, nes, snes & master system.
Is alittle funny in MAME. I can only shoot 2/3rds of the screen.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I also got the SilentScope rifle.
It works in HOTD, Starsky & Hutch, it works in nes & master sys but the cursor is a little sketchy compared with my other gun, not by much.
It has the same problem in MAME (can only shoot part of the screen) & it doesn't work in snes.
