Slow Mode


Slow Mode is used if the recoil of the game is too fast for the light gun. It cuts the recoil rate in half. If the light gun was recoiling every 50ms, it will now recoil every 100ms. It is turned on in the DefaultLG game file, in the Players section. Let's look at the Terminator 2: Judgment Day DefaultLG game file with Slow Mode enabled.

You can see that I have updated the file, since the Original DefaultLG game files day. I went through every game and added back in the forgotten shake features. This took a very long time to do.

But we are hear about the Slow Mode. so lets look ate the 'Players' section of the game file.

Players

P1 Slow
P2 Slow

After 'P1' and 'P2', there is 'Slow'. This 'Slow' enables Slow Mode, for the players. Lets say that player 1 light gun can handle fast recoil, while player 2 light gun cannot handle the fast recoil. To enable Slow Mode for just player 2, the 'Slow' needs to be removed after the 'P1', in the 'Players' section. Lets do that now.

That is it, you learned how to enable Slow Mode for the players. or a certain player. It is simple adding a space and the word 'Slow' after the player.
