RE: Carnevil monitor issues...

Wow, a question I know the answer to.

Carnevil use a 'gamma flash' instead of a white flash, where the brightness
on the 3d video card was cranked up instead of just using plain white. The
theory is you'd get some 'persistence of vision' in the flash, and it
wouldn't be as jarring or epilepsy inducing as pure white.

This caused trouble on the 35" monitors, which as you've seen, do not
trigger the guns as well, especially since you are standing further away.

In ADDITIONAL ADJUSTMENTS there is an adjustment SCREEN FLASH BRIGHTNESS

Crank this up, and see if that helps

There should be an adjustment in

Subject: RASTER: Carnevil monitor issues...

I have a conversion I am trying to complete which involves a Carnevil
board & HD installed in a 34 in. cabinet The problem is the monitor
(Sharp Image) is NOT sharp on the corners, and is even somewhat dimmer
on the corners. Monitor has been recapped---no help other than the image
looks fine for regular JAMMA boards, its just not good enough to sight
in the guns.

LCD screens do not work for normal gun games.

I was considering resorting to MAME for this issue - however haven't
been able to download a working image of the drive. Would be using the
Ultimarc gun interface - looks plausible...and fully legal as we have
the game board etc.

Suggestions?
