You'll know straight away if you choose the wrong USB port because the crosshairs (on the calibration screen) will be jumping all over the place and / or it won't register any of your shots (in calibration). In this scenario, just switch them around. Then choose the "precise calibration". Not sure why they offer "basic calibration" as precise only takes a few seconds...

Meant to complete this ages ago but I have finally added Guncon lightgun support to PCSX-Rearmed so you can now play all your favourite Lightgun games on the Raspberry Pi. Over on Wii, however, the genre was thriving. Endless plastic gun-shaped shells for the Wii remote filled every bargain bin in the land. But the Wii Light guns had an open secret: they weren’t quite right. The Wii solution worked like a mouse pointer, which meant that rather than aiming on instinct, you dragged a cursor around the screen. The cursor wasn’t even that accurate to where you were actually aiming, and that meant the magic light gun feeling of being a sharpshooter, a veritable Clint Eastwood - was gone. You were a guy moving a laser pointer around.Maybe you just want a regular survival game without apocalyptic undertones. Battle Royale Survival is an FPS .io game that puts you in a classic hunger games scenario where you must fight to be the last person alive! More Gun Games

The GC4 should be based on the Time Crisis 5 arcade gun. If they had any sense, which they don't, they would make one with 10 sensors and recoil like the arcade. Oh, and two actual pedals so the game can be played properly. The GC 1, 2 and 3 not coming with pedals is an abomination. It is a massive shame that Namco only made 3 games that use the Guncon 3 but they have the advantage of being available all one disc. The Razing Storm disc has arcade perfect version of TC4, deadstorm Pirate and Razing storm. What types of games have suffered a painful decline to the point where the genre barely exists any more? Brawlers, perhaps - Final Fight’s characters now live inside Street Fighter, and attempts to revive Golden Axe have stalled - though one could argue a certain breed of 3D character action game is descended from them, and last year we had a solid revival in Streets of Rage 4. Arcade sports games feel to have fallen out of the mainstream - indie efforts appear from time to time, but I wonder if we’ll ever get a game like NBA Jam, Red Card Football, or NFL Blitz ever again.And that leads me to the ultimate point of this article. Video game publishers - I’m calling you out. Bandai Namco, Sega - you pair in particular - there is no longer an excuse. Light Gun Games can now work on modern displays. It’s time for Time Crisis, Point Blank, House of the Dead, and Virtua Cop collections on modern hardware. We've heard word of remakes of HOTD 1 & 2 already - but honestly, these games don't need to be remade or even remastered. They just need to run, and be compatible with this new technology - which is already the case through emulation on PC. If a developer is building a port and it doesn't support similar technology to this, they should bin it. There’s also a range of newer light gun games that have been trapped in arcades - Time Crisis 5, House of the Dead 4 and Scarlet Dawn, and many arcade shooters from other publishers have no home ports at all.
