The Ultimate Retro Shooter Light Gun Setup Is On A PC NOT Pandora Box !

[@GiacomBono]

Awesome video as always, did have to do some settings on the pc?, or did u just plugged the usb to the pc and it works right after?

[@orlandosarmiento1026]

Awesome game play. I love those shooting games in the demo. Yes, that PC setup is better than their crappy console. Hope I get a light gun setup in the near future. Incredible review my brother!

[@turtlehead2]

I can speak to their CS. Had an issue with one of mine not working. They sent me a new one. I did have to make videos though. It was the front part that wasn’t working. It would shoot but it wouldn’t move when you aimed the gun. Then I bought Sinden which have been a pain in the ass and I haven’t messed with the stuff in months. I did get the hub add on for the Pandora Box. I might have to revisit them both.

[@mynameisprivate158]

There are good free premade Sinden gun builds out there, there are also people selling Sinden light gun ready hard drives. Sindens are jkust way better light guns than the Retro Shooters and if you want to go a step above Sindens Gun4IR are the cream of the crop but at a much higher price point.

[@turtlehead2]

@@mynameisprivate158 can you direct me to some of them? I found one that like 130 something GB, and I have a batocera build, but I haven’t seen many more. The Sindens look and feel awesome. But once I plug in those 50 million wires I’m playing on the retro shooter. I can’t even get my sindens to track on screen. I did see a video on here where I guy did the setup process from the beginning.

[@CodaBroda]

@@mynameisprivate158Genuinely curious, in what way are the Sindens better? I had held off on buying the Sindens for other competition since users in the Sinden Discord were constantly complaining about setup issues and abandoning their guns RetroShooter seems to have similar build quality and more powerful recoil (Better? Depending on how you feel about it lol), a similar setup to Gun4IR with 4 sensors, and a lower price, with pedals to boot. If there’s something about Sindens I’m missing, would definitely like to know, as I’ve already ordered a RetroShooter set lol

[@scroopynooperz9051]

​@@CodaBroda He didn't answer you coz he was fulla sh!t 😂 Gun4IR and Retroshooter use the same tech... that is infrared tracking of where ur pointing the gun. The only difference is that Gun4IR used to use 4x IR LEDs for tracking while Retroshooter used only 2 (so this resulted in Retroshooter being poorer at tracking gun pointing) BUT since about a year ago, Retroshooter started shipping with 4x IR LEDs too which put their tracking on par with Gun4IR. I see your post is 6 months old - curious to know your experience with Retroshooter and if you got the 4x IR Led solution?

[@CodaBroda]

@@scroopynooperz9051 I have the 4x IR Retro Shooter and it’s been nearly flawless! The only issue I had was getting MAME setup (lack of documentation), but after that, the peace of mind of always having the setup ready has been great for pick up and play

[@silverstreaknum1]

I am confused on the Retro Beast website it says that the 2tb light gun collection 'will not work on Mini PC or laptops"... Your using a mini pc ....?? I have an Acer nitro 5 from 2021 I use as my gaming PC and it runs every emulator I have ever tried just fine including teknoparrot. So does that mean because all those emulators work individually on my laptop that this collection on this drive from kris cool beast would still work on my laptop??

[@isaijuarez211]

I Was gonna say. Maybe this PC works good I guess

I think the biggest appeal for the Pandora’s box is everything is configured to work straight away through a single interface , must be a helluva lot of work to do to have everything set up on a pc through multiple emulators then getting it all calibrated

[@chrisnoordover9000]

I just stumbled across this video and I do want to do a similar if not the same build for my self. I’m curious to exactly what pc you have and if you got it prebuilt and how easy it was to setup from the oc side.

Yes! The clips are totally optional

[@azrabain8210]

Is at close to as good as the Guns4ir? I would just buy the Guns4ir but they are never in stock to actually buy. The Sinden looks good other then the white border that’s a deal breaker for me.

It’s not that bad. IMHO, Better than having sensors and wires

Did you get the SSD option for the Coolmod Retrobeast? Did you install it inside the Acemagic mini PC, or did you plug it in externally?

Has anyone actually configured these guns yet on PC? As in setup on Retroarch? Mame setup was fine but Retroarch i can't configure them. 🤔

[@andycash1521]

Works on batocera V39 or V 3.9...can't remember if it's 3.9 or just 39...it will work straight away 'plug & play' but the buttons on the retro shooter are limited to wat u can use...This is why u need the software really on top of that plug & play to utilise the buttons as u'd please...They register as different buttons but when a game is playing the buttons assigned don't like it on some games & u have 2 assign a different button....For example I set up time crisis on batocera with the blue retro shooter gun...However when u go in the game & let it load up u press the tab button or select + A on ya xbox pad or select + X on ya PS pad 2 get u in2 the setting...U then press on set up this system or it says something to this effect "meaning just 4 this game u are settung up as every other game may need 2 be set up differently so best 2 select this option" & u press A or X depending on ya pad of choice to the player 1 button & once selected it will go blank & then u pull trigger on retro shooter...then u wanna go to reload & press A or X again wait till it blanks out again & then press in on the analogue stick on the retro shooter...all other buttons won't work properly to use as the foot pedal unless u select this. Unless u download the software but nobody talks about this...I need 2 do this myself also!!

I could be missing something, but you said your were showing (in the context of a PC) how to set these up the most efficient way. Did you miss adding that part? Did you mean plug them in?

Using a centralized hub versus a separate power supply for each gun and trying to stuff all the usb connections into the pc itself. Id call it an efficient way of doing that.

[@Gametester110-qf8vs]

@@PetarSebastianLogaric Retro Gaming Guy is being waaaaay too hard on the included console also. It's the Best Pandora Box to date with a lot going for it. It's not just a "lightgun box" either, it's a full-fledged console with a boatload of Classic Arcade & console titles. The emulation is Good, and most USB gamepads work great with it too. I wouldn't recommend buying the bundle with the controllers though. Those are cheap junk. You're better off buying the Base bundle that just has the lightguns. Then grabbing a Good quality USB gamepad yourself (Ex: Logitech F310).

[@PetarSebastianLogaric]

@@Gametester110-qf8vs Thanks again. I would buy the bundle with the console, the guns and the pedals and also the adapter to be able to use the guns and pedals on PC.

[@Gametester110-qf8vs]

@@PetarSebastianLogaric Retro Gaming Guy is clearly used to playing on Higher-End set-ups, so it's understandable that the Pandora Box console wouldn't be up to his expectations. It's still a Good box though, not great but, Good. I've played through the Terminator arcade shooter like 3-4 times without issue since i got mine. Although the price you pay for having a pre-loaded console with all the work done for you, is there is little to no customization or upgrading possible. What you see is what you get. Pretty sure it won't let you add more lightgun titles either. However, you can always message RetroShooter and ask about buying the Guns/Pedals/sensors/Base hub separately. That's what i did when i wanted to buy one of their Arcade sticks without paying for the "platinum" bundle and they were very understanding. Then once you have the guns, you can do like Retro Gaming Guy and, download a pre-made set-up with all the games for your Pc. Admittedly this is the best experience but, it's not plug & play and will take some work on your part to set up and figure out. As much as i appreciate the Mini Pandora console, i'll probably go the Pc route as well.
