Retro Deckades:
How's the Super Scope work on that thing, Wiggy?

wiggy:
I'm having a hard time playing it. I don't know if it's the SS or the TV or how close I'm sitting to it. The fire button isn't very responsive. It works sometimes and not others :-\ I even did a voltage check on the batteries to rule them out as a problem. Gotta do some more diagnosing. Prolly hook it up to that 27" that I bought the day before. I've actually have the same TV upstairs and I KNOW that it works perfectly with it. That will eliminate the concern over whether it's the TV or not.

I'm a little less happy with the purchase than I was originally. The issues with the deformed picture really bug me. But there's no way in hell that I'm moving that thing anywhere else at the moment. Took 3 of us to just slide the damned thing down the stairs. Picking it up and carrying it was absolutely NOT an option. This thing must weigh in at over 100lb. :( I guess I better get used to it.

Honestly, I bought it almost exclusively to play light gun games, so I can't complain too much. It's big enough that a friend and I can very comfortably sit back and blast away at it ;D

Arseen:
100HZ TV?

If yes, that's yer problem. ;)

wiggy:
No, it's 60, just like most everything here. I'm guessing that it spent too much time sitting next to a speaker.

Also, it weighs 240+ lbs :o No wonder it almost killed us!

Retro Deckades:
Glad to hear that the Super Scope (usually) works fine on that style of TV. I've been thinking of replacing my 23 year old TV. It's been a workhorse and old Nintendo games look absolutely fantastic on it, but lately the picture has started to dip down below the borders of the screen. Maybe someone around here might know how to resolve an issue like that?
