your device does not work with PS2.

Initial Setup
1)
Plug the AimTrak lightgun into USB port 1 on your Playstation 2.
2)
Plug the LED strip into the second USB port and place it centred above your monitor. For best
results, the strip should be centred left-to-right and as close to the top of the picture screen as
possible. (NOTE: If you are using a second AimTrak lightgun you will need to find an external power
source for your LED strip. This is because the second lightgun will need to be connected to the
second USB port on the Playstation 2. we recommend using a mains USB charger, the same type
that might be used to charge a phone or iPod with a USB cable).
3)
Insert a known working Playstation 2 lightgun game into your Playstation 2 (We recommend starting
with Time Crisis 2 or Time Crisis 3).
4)
With the Playstation 2 turned off, hold down the A and B buttons together on your AimTrak lightgun
and switch your Playstation 2 on. Hold the A and B buttons down until you see the startup screen
and hear the startup sound, this is required to turn the lightgun into GunCon mode (this will need
to be done on both lightguns if two are being used).
4)
Calibration – The GunCon calibration screen will appear once you navigate through the usual pre-
game menus. To begin calibration hold the Trigger down for 5 seconds, the screen will flash and you
will hear a gunshot sound effect.
The lightgun then requires you to aim at the top left, top right and just off centre at the bottom
of the screen for calibration. A crosshair will appear in each location, you will need to shoot at each
one in turn. Once this is complete the crosshair will appear on the screen to show where you are
aiming, if the process fails or is incorrect simply hold down the Trigger for 5 seconds and begin
again.
Calibration should be performed while holding the Light Gun in your normal “shooting”
position. If you intend to look through the gun-sights when playing you must do this when
calibrating. Likewise, if you “shoot from the hip” you must do this when calibrating as well.
5)
Once calibration is complete simply press A, B or start (whatever button is required to continue).
6)
Enjoy the game!
Note: You may wish to disable or lengthen the timer for the calibration feature to avoid accidentally
going into calibration mode. This requires a PC to run the Aimtrak utility.
