GunCon3, and Gun4IR work on all displays. Sinden requires a modern display and dedicated files for MiSTer. + +Reflex Adapt supports overclocked GunCon1, with better performance than GunCon2, when 1ms (1000Hz) polling is enabled. + +Each core requires calibration. Calibrate your guns from the distance you plan to play. For best results, use a white screen to calibrate. + +Never allow the calibration value to be less than 0.

To fix this, remove the core's light gun calibration file from the "config" folder of your MiSTer's micro SD card. + ## Any USB controller recommendations? Almost any controller that uses USB will work with MiSTer. You can also use a Bluetooth or 2.4ghz USB adapter for wireless. Good controllers that many users seem to like and have low input latency are:
