I have the LCD OCD in Spider-Man but I am still having issues in inserts in for the villians. I still have ghosting. What leds are you using? I had the settings programmed when I bought the LCD OCD. Any help would be appreciated? Thanks, Mike

"This is usually an issue with the lamp matrix in the game, like a reversed diode, a short, an incorrectly installed mod, etc. If you set the brightness too high using the LED OCD, it can cause ghosting, but I set them to appropriate values when they ship.
For LEDs, use pretty much any LED without non-ghosting or premium features. My favorites are:

I would recommend going through single lamp test, select a lamp, and noted which extra lamps light, if any. Do this for every lamp in the game. Usually, a pattern will develop that can be used to track down the problem."

I misspoke, the villain LEDs are not ghosting all of the time. Only when you defeat the villains the first amd second time, when the lights are only dimly lighted.

They are flickering really bad. With bulbs they just would be on very dim and then get brighter as you progressed. These still strobe pretty bad even with the OCD LED. Obviously I had you program it for me so I haven't messed with it. I was going to try other LEDs or should I adjust in software? If adjusting in software what is the best way to adjust since the lamps are not always at full power? Thanks, Mike

Quoted from herg:

OK, so they're not just dim, they're flickering? What kind of LEDs are you using? I don't remember how I configured your board, but it is probably using the Spider-Man settings that are included in the configuration software. Those are tuned for standard (not non-ghosting) bulbs.

In the image here, the red is what it uses after beating the villain once, orange is twice, and green is thrice. A setting of 12 is good for standard bulbs, but will flicker with non-ghosting. 60 at level 2 should be fine, even with non-ghosting, so I'm not sure what's up with that. I need a bit more information to be able to make suggestions without access to the game.
What bulbs are you using?
Can you read what values you're using? I'm guessing not since you had me pre-configure.
Is it only the villains? What about the white spider arrows during combos? Any others?

It is only those darn villains. I have tried a bunch of leds I had laying around. I am going to order the ones you suggested and see what happens. If not I will start messing with it now that you have given me some guidance.

The OCD led has been great for the rest of the game. Thanks again, Mike

I wanted to thank Herg. He suggested the above LEDs to solve my ghosting SM insert problem and they worked like a charm. Thanks again and sorry it took so long to report back but I don't have much time for projects with my family commitments.
