Nintendo vs. light gun troubleshooting - needing any and all help
I wanted to get into the vs. gun games so I recently picked up a vs. gun. I had all the required harnesses to get it up and going without having to hack any wires. I added this gun (to a red tent) and after a couple of hours of futzing with brightness had a fairly accurate gun. I'm thinking: "mission accomplished!" and go to bed.
The next night I go back to try it out and it's missing like crazy. It seems like it registers 1 in 100 shots. I mess with the brightness levels but to no avail.
I cracked open the gun and had a look but I don't know where to go from there. I replaced the caps on the small pcb but that didn't help. Is there something I can/should try next? Should I just start looking for a new gun?
I've read around and have seen many frustrated postings about how finicky these guns can be. Can any of the nintendo pros help me out? Any input is appreciated!
