    Calibrate SEGA Lightgun for MAME

    Does anybody know if it is possible to calibrate a SEGA Ghost Squad light gun with software before the signals gets sent to MAME. Although I have the gun working (connected to PC via U-HID), I am not convinced the aiming is as good as it could be. A friend told me “You need some other...

    Lightgun to USB

    Zebra, Your youtube video inspired me to make a lightgun machine and connect it to a U-HID. I have successfully completed it. The hardest part was actually the recoil. I copied you as much as I could with the ne555. I hooked the recoil signal wire to the uhid. But I could not figure out how...

    Lightgun to USB

    Purbeast. I don’t know what you are talking about. But. I did what zebra done. I use a ghost squad gun, a ghost squad gun sense board, LED screen array, a ghost squad fuse board, a ne555 and a U-HID Nano from ultimarc. Connect that all up and your good, haha I would try a different board and...

    How to simulate a button press using a microcontroller?

    Zebra, Your youtube video inspired me to make a lightgun machine and connect it to a U-HID. I have successfully completed it. The hardest part was actually the recoil. I copied you as much as I could with the ne555. I hooked the recoil signal wire to the uhid. But I could not figure out how...

    MAME recoil… How to?

    JayBee got back to me. Unlike others on that site who could have helped but didn’t. Thank you JayBee and MickyMac Actually I have moved away from Mame Hooker. Even if it did work. As soon as you use a different emulator you have no recoil. So I am just using the uhid config utility to send 5...

    Ghost Squad Dolphin Recoil

    Thank you nem I just plug the recoil signal wire into my U-HID and use the U-HID config utility to send 5 volts to the recoil signal wire.

    MAME recoil… How to?

    Yes, its really cool to get it up and running. I will post some photos when I am happy with it. I had a lot of help from twistedsymphony Thank you so much for this information. Do you know where I can find that software by any chance? I have found JB but he’s probably busy

    MAME recoil… How to?

    I have the Sega Ghost Squad gun hooked up to the gun sense board. Its working and I can use it with Mame. I am trying to get the recoil output to go through my Ultimarc U-HID to the recoil signal wire. I believe mame hooker can do this, but I can not get mame hooker to see the game. Rom, parent...

    Ghost Squad Dolphin Recoil

    Thank you nem. I already have the recoil signal wire hooked up to the trigger wire. It works but messes up the trigger signal because of splitting the circuit I guess. The trigger signal stays on for about two seconds which is a burst. As soon as I disconnect the recoil signal wire from the...

    Ghost Squad Dolphin Recoil

    Does anybody know if the Dolphin emulator has a recoil output?

    MAME recoil… How to?

    Hello Arcade Enthusiasts, I know this has been done before, but the threads on this topic have become complicated to follow. I have a Ghost Squad gun with gun sense board and a fuse board. The fuse board has a recoil signal wire which requires 5 volts - I currently hook this wire to the...

    Ghost Squad Recoil Fuse Board Signal Wire.. Solved

    YES! I got the recoil to work through the fuse board (after frying one mosfet). So I can now fake the recoil using the trigger. The trigger wire carries 5 volts when energised. So this goes to the 1PGUN wire, which tells the MOSFET on the fuse board to release the 24 volts to the solenoid. The...

    Ghost Squad Recoil Fuse Board Signal Wire.. Solved

    bagheera369 said: https://segaretro.org/images/5/55/GhostSquadEvolution_Lindbergh_US_DigitalManual.pdf Trace down the gun lines, on page 84/85 At this point, its been years since I've touched one of those, but the FET's on that fuse board, work the same as they do on a Pinball machine, and are...

    Ghost Squad Recoil Fuse Board Signal Wire.. Solved

    I have reposted this with the specific title of finding the recoil signal wire, which I believe is 1PGUN on the fuse board. I am also trying to find out how to get this wire to fire the solenoid (without the I/O board, so faking the signal) Thanks to @twistedsymphony I have just finished my...

    How do you add recoil to Sega Type II guns? What is needed and is there a pinout to help show how to do this?

    Thank you very much bagheera369! There are some nice clues there. I traced the lines but seem to come to a dead end. I still can not figure out the fets and where they are on the schematic? I only get as far as RA60P pin 53 (I/O board), and the end of the line at grid line “A” I’m also...
