Author Topic: I Need Help With the Super Scope!!! (Read 5792 times)

I would post this in Game Help, but nobody goes there. Anyway, I bought a used Super Scope for $5 at FuncoLand about a month ago. I was going to buy Yoshi's Safari too, but they didn't have it. Then, last night, I bought Yoshi's Safari at Hollywood Video for $5. So, I turned on Yoshi's Safari, put bateries in the Super Scope and... nothing happened. I tried everything- pressing all of the buttons on the Scope, flipping all of the switches, putting batteries in upside-down, and nothing worked. So does anybody know what I could be doing wrong, or is it broken?

It's a light gun for the Super Nintendo.

Is it plugged in?
Does it plug in?

Hmm... Apparently, it needs some kind of thing that plugs into the SNES, and I never bought one.

Yeah, you need the infrared receiver unit that plugs into a controller port. If you can find one of those somewhere, you should be good to go.

In case you get it working and you don't have instructions for Yoshi's Safari, you should play with the turbo switch on. The fire button up on top shoots, and the "cursor" button on the front handle lets you jump (only necessary at certain special places).

Bad news (for me). I went to FuncoLand/ Gamestop, and asked for the infared thingamabob. They gave it to me for free. When I got home, It still didn't work. Does anybody know what the problem is?

Maybe you just got ripped off.

Well, something probably went bad inside the gun at some point in the past ten years.

Did you try the receiver in BOTH controller ports? I forget which one it goes in. Seems like it's port #1, but it's been so long since I used mine I've forgotten (I prefer to just play that game on ZSNES ;)

Okay, as an owner and user of a superscope (and yoshi's safari), mine came with a complete set. First of all, you need to load it up with 6 batteries, flip the switch to Turbo, and make sure everything is connected. Plug the reciever into controller port 2, and put it right above your tv. The super scope will not work with old tv's, as it is infra-red. If your tv does not use a remote, the super scope won't work, as remote controls use the same function as the super scope.

The Big Boo · « **Reply #17 on:** August 20, 2003, 08:37:24 AM »

Controller port 2, eh? Let me check.

The Big Boo · « **Reply #18 on:** August 20, 2003, 08:47:18 AM »

WHOO! IT WORKS!! Thanks so much, guys.

Ok. Now how are you supposed to jump? The cursor button doesn't work and I keep dying.
