i don't have a lcd or plasma screen, it's just one of those flat screen CRTs. it's a panasonic tau 20" if that makes any difference at all.

i'm trying to play time crisis 3, but it won't even let me calibrate the gun. i've tried my old gun, doesn't work either. i've tried plugging that yellow cord into the back tv inputs, the front tv inputs and the inputs on my reciever, no luck.

anyone know what's up.

My understanding was light guns only work on "fishbowl" style CRT televisions.

Read the packaging man.

Gameguns don't work on any typw of front projector or "flatscreen" (LCD or Plasma). They only work on CRT direct view sets and rear projection sets (may not work on all pro-jo sets though).

Hope that helps.

Then we're all fucked.......

People tell me that CRT will cease production by end of this year and what are we going to play those light gun game once LCD/Plasma/HDTV are the only TV in the market?

Fuck.......... :annoyed: :very_ang:

Yes, it sucks royally. I love TC3, even Ninja Assault and was contemplating getting TC2 and Vampire Nights.

No more, since I can't get it to work on my 52" JVC RPTV. The old gun technology reads the scanlines that's why none of the HDTV will work.

Supposedly, this company made a gun that works with ANY TV, at www.erealgames.com, but it seems to be a hit or miss proposition.

I HIGHLY doubt that direct view CRT sets will stop being made within the year.
Companies are currently working on shallow depth CRT tubes and will hopefully be able to cut them down to 1/2 to 3/4 theier current depth.

From what I've heard is that the problem of recycling the old CRT.
I just hope it's a BS.
I want to play those games with gun, not controller :blow_top:

Would about the toshiba 52-inch big screen TV
that I own?. I can't use the guns but my older
brother, sisters, cousins or my moms boyfriend
can play while I'll use a hand controller. I only
own Time Crisis II, Vampire Night & House of
the Dead 2 but I do want to get Ninja Assault,
Time Crisis 3 & House of the Dead III soon
though. :kekeke: :kekeke:
