Affordable & Ultimate Way To Play Light-Gun Games in 2023 ? / Sinden & Raspberry Pi

[@MobileDecay]

Definitely cheaper than a lot of the competition but I wouldn't call it affordable. I bought one and it took me a while to start enjoying it.

[@WickedGamerCollector]

If you can give me a cheaper solution I would love to know 😅 Because I can't find anything cheaper then this and still have the same kind of arcade feeling. Gun4IR was awesome only that price is next level just like the hardware itself.

[@MobileDecay]

@@WickedGamerCollector It is the cheapest. I'm not denying that but I wouldn't call it affordable seeing as the average console controller is now $70. and people including myself feel they're too expensive.

[@jimbotron70]

@@WickedGamerCollector An used Namco GunCon could be cheaper and it's nicely built.

@@DecibelAlex With a Playstation emulator and with an USB-PS adapter in general it should, however I haven't tried..

[@michaelmorales9697]

Your version of affordable and mine are two very different things lol - these things are very far from "Cheap". I'd say the "Cheapest and affordable" way to play light gun games is with a mayflash dolphin bar and a wiimote. Obviously not the same experience but tons of people have a Wiimote and the wii gun attachment laying around so they'd be able to get up and running for around $20 :)

[@DecibelAlex]

I'd rather save the 20 bucks for a proper controller tbh, or just play with a mouse

[@pantonio7171]

Wiimote IR positional tracking is very much inferior. But if you’re having fun that’s what matters.

[@timvangenechten5258]

@@pantonio7171 With proper callibration and lighting its not that bad. I used to play house of the dead om my wii(original hardware) and it played very well.

[@tommycaldwell6953]

Wii remote is not bad at all. It works great. Especially with the new Wii remotes

[@pantonio7171]

@@timvangenechten5258 Well, most if not all wii light gun games default the crosshair on and I believe most games don't even give you the option to turn them off. This is on purpose because the positional tracking is so poor that it's required in order to have a decent experience. Imo, it's not very fun this way.

[@Nick_Nightingale]

Nintendo, Microsoft and Sony should license the light gun technology from Sinden. Imagine a NES Classic Deluxe that would come with Sinden Zapper that you could play Duck Hunt on (and other light gun games). If they could sell that for $99.99 with 60 games it would sell out it’s first day. They could even get away with $129.99.

[@WickedGamerCollector]

Would be cool if there was something official with couple of games indeed. In other words a plug and play solution 😅

[@therealtecktonik]

@@WickedGamerCollector hey wicked big fan I love ur reviews ! I know this is random but I can't find x18 buttons anywhere and I figure for how much handhelds you buy you wouldn't happen to have an x18 you aren't using I can buy the buttons from do yah!?!? It'd be a life savor and I don't know where to find them. Thx again man love ur channel!

[@robbyg1232]

i used to love playing house of the dead at the cinema with the light guns, super immersive, even better was when they released HOTD3 and gave us prop shotguns that you could even pump to reload.

[@adamkane7513]

I had a lightgun with virtua cop on sega Saturn. Good times...

[@snoozy04]

It's great that you don't need CRT to use them.

[@defo8811]

Yeah that's why they cost a arm and a leg.

[@DecibelAlex]

@@defo8811 if you think these cost an arm and a leg you don't even want to know what it would cost to set up a light gun game on an arcade cab running original hardware..

[@retroman--]

Awesome guns! One day I'll get them

[@sw1000xg]

T2 you need to configure the target cross hair I think it's f4 to bring up the calibrator and you shoot the areas it tells you to. That should fix the problem

[@Hydro-Ponik]

Take out the little pistonand out in a one that really throws your hand back with real force. Like for deer hunter it recoils like a 303 rifle. Strong enuff you can drop it with one hand. But teally to get into light gun setup is prob around $400+ Canadian (for 2 guns , pedals , machine and software (if you can find it). Even a proper raspberry pi 3B or 4B is way up around $100+ per bare board.

[@JaykPuten]

Thank you for this video!!!

[@F-Bomb313]

Aliexpress: $5 blue tooth dongle, $4 for ir bar, $12 for wii mote & nunchuck, $6 for gun wii mote holder... $28 in total, now that is affordable

[@Steambull1]

Hm. If this works even close to as well as 90s actual light guns, these would've been groundbreaking to me 10-15 years ago, when I still actively played games with a friend. The best thing we could have were the Wii shooters (mostly the House of the Dead and RE series) and we loved them. The official HotD Overkill toy accessories for the Wiimote were really sturdy and well crafted, they actually did enhance the experience by a lot.

[@paulbradley705]

Virtual cop and that Aerosmith arcades were my childhood in the big city of Melbourne.

[@timvangenechten5258]

These are cool, but I still wish for a gun that can be played on original consoles. I know what people will say... "its just not possible" but thats not completely true. I have a concept in my head that would most likely work. But I don't have the time money and at the moment skills to build it. Basicly you need 1) a costum lightgun 2) have a device that sits in between your console and the television, 3)make it monitor the output from the console, and track the lightgun 4)send the correct input to the consoles controler port at the correct time within the frame that coresponds to the location you were aiming at. (for advanced systems like segas phaser, dumb nes works differently but that can be done aswell) It is possible, but so little time... so many ideas.

Owning two these, Recoil and non Recoil i have to say i am very impress with what it can do. its a little fragile, however once you learn how to use it, its great !!! i hope soon Sinden can make these guns hassle free , plug and play in the near future. its difficult to setup at first and know what game is compatible with what system/settings. i still recommend it to everyone.

[@MSchley]

Is it natively compatible with AtGames Ultimate Arcade.

[@eltiburon466]

Would be great to make them work with pandora box, im just finishing my bartop and already made the size for pandora so.. although im happy with my ps3 and move Guns also lots of good games in hd

[@ErikWP]

I'll wait till they get below $100. They are not really affordable for a sub section of games, unless you're really into gun games.

Regarding the SUPER CONSOLE X, SUPER CONSOLE X PRO. I am mostly interested in the MAME and ARCADE emulators for the classic arcade games. I am confused about the amount/number of games offered on the MAME & ARCADE emulators. Does the amount of games offered on these 2 emulators (MAME & ARCADE) increase or decrease with each memory option? 64G, 128G, 256G? Are there more games on the MAME & ARCADE emulators with the 256G/128G option? Are there fewer games offered in the 64G option? I eagerly await some kind of help. Thank you once again.

I have the Sinden gun and use Batocera 35 on a pc, it is truly plug and play when using it with Batocera. All the software is pre-configured and works flawlessly, the delay and jumpy crosshairs is probably the result of glare from lights reflecting on the TV screen. You can hit start in the main Batocera menu, go to controllers and inside that menu is settings for the Sinden gun. There you can change the recoil from gun to machine gun to get that repeating kick in T2. You can also pick between regular recoil and quiet recoil... love the channel Wicked!!!
