Hold down the a or b button (forget which) when its booting up and you can
choose progressive scan, and you calibrate with two targets, one in the
centre then one in the corner of the screen. Check back if you have any
trouble.

right side of calibratuion screen). So I calibrate it, and go to play, and
it's not shooting consitantly (it seems to like middle of screen and not
left or right), so the sound of the shooting is comoing out but not the
shooting itself in the majority.

i assume you're getting the 2-point calibration. I just tried it again
myself and did a quick calibration and found the same problems you describe.
However I then went back and did the calibration more carefully, using the
sights to aim at the centre target then at the corner target. You need to
get this exactly right for it to work properly in progressive scan. Works
fine on my Samsung 61" RPTV. The aim doesn't go all the way to the edges,
but you don't really need that to play the game.
When I first bought TC2 for some reason progressive scan wasn't coming up
automatically, and when I posted about the same problem in this group I was
told lightguns won't work on 100hz TV's full stop, so that justified the
purchase of a second PS2 for the bedroom. I discovered the progressive scan
later...damn shame that. :-)

that by holding trigger and C at calibration screen, with gun faced away
from screen, I switched from progressive scan to 100hz! 100hz did the job
for me perfectly! This morning I couldnt get it going though, until I
worked out that picture mode affects it (brightness etc), so if it wont work
all over screen try changing your TV's pic setup, now works a gem!!! This
isnt noted in the TC2 manual or the G-Con2 box!!!!!
I discovered though that my G-Con1 doesnt work on it, but nevermind, Im
happy!

ah yes, that right, I forgot about the change to 100hz. I remember at the
time thinking it strange that they didn't have instructions for people with
100hz TV's.
TC2 is a great game, but way too short. Are there any other lightgun games
out for the PS2?

Gcon2 last night with Time Crisis 2. Good game, but mad short. I am
still having trouble getting the gun light to pick up perfectly
especially in the corners of the screen, or full top or full bottom.
and I don't quite get off on sitting directly in front of the
television to play. I'm going to try that progressive scan trick now,
maybe I can save me a road trip back to the store for a return.
Is this Gcon2 backwards compatible. If it keep it I might want to
start checking out the older PSX light games, especially Point Blank
