In The Hunt too dark?

Post by shmupsrocks »

Anyone else seeing In The Hunt a bit too dark even with max brightness on their supergun? Mine is a Sigma AV7000.

It's a very dark game, it's normal behavior of the PCB. At least on cabinet, I turn up contrast (gain, etc) on my cabinet monitor to compensate, same as any other dark PCBs.

Also, this sounds like it's more appropriate for the Hardware subforum.

Anybody using a supergun with In The Hunt that can get the brightness high enough without adjusting the monitor? HAS?

IIRC it's common on all IREM M92 and not just supergun.

Edit: google turned up this thread (see about halfway down to bottom):

... now ... only thing is I'm not sure what exactly needs to be grounded and how/where. I'd assume the implication is that whatever (rgb?) connection you're using hasn't got ground connected one end of the (scart <> bnc ?) connection.

*However* you might find if you've got a powered passthrough device (recorder/rgb interface/signal extender etc.) you might find this takes care of issue *if* the issue also relates to a low signal strength (which I presume it must be, otherwise you'd expect to see the same thing with all hardware + the monitor your using).

As stated above, a ground problem. My ITH had perfect colors and brightness on my Egret 3, but when I put in my capture adapter between the cab jamma and pcb, then the picture went dark.

In that case it sounds like I should wait for the HAS to fix this.
