Hey guys

Question from Eneish: First of all, y’all are the best 🙂 I have a question for you guys. I have a Big Buck Hunter: Shooter’s Challenge and the flyback just burnt out. This cab has water damage so I’m not a purists for this one. So, will a LCD work with the guns? Thank you for all the great info, I’ve repaired three and four to go. Godspeed.

Response from Jonathan: Eneish,

Awesome! Glad to hear you are getting some games working with the information we provided. As for your question, unfortunately light gun games that use optical sensors in the guns (like Big Buck Hunter: Shooter’s Challenge) will only work with CRT monitors at this time. Potentiometer-based light gun games (such as Terminator 2 or Revolution X) will work with LCDs as the targeting location is determined by potentiometers in the gun and not optical sensors. In your case, you best bet will be to get your original CRT working again. Good news is that a flyback replacement is not that difficult; however, finding a compatible flyback can sometimes be a chore depending on the monitor in your cabinet. Of course, please feel free to contact us if you need help tracking down a replacement flyback for your particular monitor. Hope that helps.
