Not gonna lie... it is pretty awesomeI bet it's a lot of fun playing these games on such a large screen.
Apologies if I am posting incorrectly, but I am also attempting a project like this with a Confidential Mission cabinet and 50" TV so I am very curious how this worked out for you. Did you have any calibration issues? Is it better to keep the original aspect ratio or does stretching to widescreen work as well.
aspect ratio doesn't matter as it will work itself out once you calibrate.Is it better to keep the original aspect ratio or does stretching to widescreen work as well.
That reminds me that I have to put together my GSS setup, that led array finally arrived. but its made for a 60" screen, so I will have to come up with a mounting solution for a 65" screen, hopelly the cables have enough slack, if not, it cabling and crimping timeaspect ratio doesn't matter as it will work itself out once you calibrate.Is it better to keep the original aspect ratio or does stretching to widescreen work as well.
I have my setup arranged in 16:9 but running 4:3 NAOMI games work fine.
What about using lenses in front of IR led in order to make them appears bigger and/or increase range? Cannot they do the trick?During my testing I tested at 10ft and had decent tracking but I also had the LEDs clustered around a little 19in LCD and none of them had the tinted plastic windows. I removed the windows and in doing that the effective range for the guns increased to about 8ft and at that distance it's totally playable! still not the 12ft-15ft range I want but it's good enough to finally enjoy this setup.
Maybe? But that is likely a more expensive option than brighter LEDs.What about using lenses in front of IR led in order to make them appears bigger and/or increase range? Cannot they do the trick?
Managed to open the casing, and you are correct those are the modules being used so you are good to go with those, have you tried them yet?yeah, if you want to.
are they the same modules as these?: Shooting Gallery: Sega Type-II IR on a 108" front projection setup.
I have a GSS manual myself though if it's anything like the older gun boards the pins don't really have names, they're just labeled A B C D ... so the only way to really tell is to poke around with a meter.I forgot to take a pics of the harness, I’ll see if I have or can get a manual for GSS that should have the schematic in it.
You may not need high quality lens. I was thinking of cheap magnifiers. I’ll probably try on my own regular setup to see if there is any consequences with accuracy.Maybe? But that is likely a more expensive option than brighter LEDs.
