Q1) What is EMS TopGun ?
A) EMS TopGun is the first light gun to support every kind of screens, include LCD, Plasma and

     Projector, as well as traditional CRT TV. (i.e. normal TV) It supports PS3™, PS2™, Xbox™ and PC.

Q2) How to set up and use the EMS TopGun?
A) First, you have to put the two LED stand beside the screen. Then, you have to connect the

    EMS TopGun to your PC or console (PS2™/ Xbox™), note that you have to select the switch at

    the bottom of the gun to "X" for Xbox™, and "P" for PS2™ or PC. And then, after you have

    well calibrated the gun, you can use the gun. For details, please see the User Manual.

Q3) The EMS TopGun is not accurate at all even I re-calibrate it for many times.

     Why is that?

A) It may be because there are some infrared source behind or beside the screen.  such that

     the EMS TopGun system is interrupted.

Q4) How to prevent the EMS TopGun from being interrupted ?

A) To solve this problem, please make sure that no infrared source is behind or beside the

     screen. Possible infrared source include sun light, strong red light, yellow light, or any very

     heat source. Also, the ground may reflect the light (infrared) from the LED stand. To

     prevent reflection, please place a cloth on the ground near the screen so as to prevent the

     reflection.
　

Q5) What should I do if there is something wrong during the calibrating process ?
A) For this case, you can press start + select at the same time during the calibrating process,

     and it would escape from the calibrating mode, and you can re-start the calibrating process

     again. For details, please see the calibration guide in the User Manual.

Q6) What is the best screen size for the EMS TopGun ?

A) Recommend screens size is 14-60 inch, which is the best for the EMS TopGun. For screen of

     size 14-60 inch, please place the LED stand beside the screen as the the figure below:

Q7) How should I set up the LED stand if my projector is larger then 60 inch ?

A) If your screen is between 60-120 inch, you can put the LED stand in the middle of the

     screen as shown in the picture below :

     The performance of the EMS TopGun will not be affected even you put the LED stand in the

    middle. But please note that you must stand within 5 meters from the screen, or it is too long

    for the gun to receive the signal from the LED stand.

Q8) Could I place the two LED stands behind the cloth Projector screen ?

A ) We have tried that it is workable to place the LED stands behind the cloth projector screen. But please note that our cloth projector screen may be thinner then yours. Also, the cloth screen would decrease the brightness of the infrared from the LEDs, thus the workable range for the gun should be less the normal (5m). Moreover, the life of the LEDs are limited (like normal light bulbs), it would become dimmer and dimmer (very slowly) and die finally in several years. When the LED become dimmer and dimmer and to a certain level, it would not be workable behind the cloth screen.

Q9) Could I use two EMS TopGun to play at the same time ?

A) Yes, you can use two EMS TopGun at the same time in Xbox™, PS2™ and PC. Please note that

     when you use two EMS TopGun at the same time on the same screen, you just need to setup one

     set of LED stands. Otherwise it would fail to work.

Q10) The TopGun works perfectly in PS2, but I can't enter Calibration mode in PC, what's the

        matter ?

A) Please make sure that the driver is workable (without a interjection mark beside it), unless you

    could not use the gun nor enter the calibration mode in PC.

Q11) The TopGun works perfectly in PC, but I can't enter Calibration mode in PS2, what's the

        matter ?

A)  If you connect the gun to PS2 before you turn on the PS2 and it doesn't work, please re-connect

     the gun and see if it is ok.

Q12) In the calibration mode of a PS2 gun game, the PS2 fail to recognize the shoot, what's the

        matter ?

A)  It is very likely caused by bad contact. Please disconnect and re-connect the TopGun without

     reboot the PS2 console.

Q13) Would a VGA box be required for PC?

A)  No, it is not required.

Q14) Does TopGun support PS1 gun shooting games on PS2 console?

A)  Please note that you could not use any PS2 lightgun (GunCon2 compatible lightgun) to play PS1 gun

     shooting game on PS2 console. To play Area 51 on PS2 console, you have to use a PS1 compatible

     lightgun. TopGun is a GunCon2 compatible lightgun, which would not support Area 51 in PS2.
　

Q15) In PS2, could I use the TopGun together with PS2 joypads ?

A)  In gun shooting games, if you connect a joypad to player 1, the USB input 1 would be disabled.

     Therefore, if you are going to use the TopGun, you should not connect the joypad to PS2.

Q16) How do you recommend to fix the LED stands ?

A)  You could use BLU-TACK to fix the LED stand on the wall or besides your screen. It is some kind

     of plastic which would not leave any scratches on the wall or screen. Please see the related links

     of BLU-TACK from these Useful Links.

Q17) How is TopGun different from other guns in the market ?

A)  Please see the comparison here .
