*Games run at a very low framerate
*Aim is off
**Try changing the Video Graphics API to Vulkan - Vulkan in general is more performant on lower end hardware
**Gun calibration depends on the game
**Disable VSync - this can cause issues (especially in FMV videos) that causes the game to run at 15FPS
**Most games have a Service Mode that allows for calibration of the light gun aim
**Usually Service Mode is bound to the F2 key. If this does not work, follow the instructions above for controller remapping and map the Service Menu/Service/Test keys to calibrate the light guns

  2. Hit TAB -> Input -> Input Assignments (this system)
  3. Hit "Enter" to select which control to remap and click a button or move the lightgun to reassign control

Change video resolution

NOTE - changing resolution can cause issues with aiming accuracy/aim drift. Use at your own discretion

  1. Video resolution can be set in mame.ini

Enable/Disable Crosshairs

Crosshairs can be enabled/disabled for each game.

  1. Run a game in MAME
  2. Hit TAG -> Crosshair Options
  3. Change settings in the menu that opens
