can you buy these in united states link please and how are they holding up / i got the time crysis 2 guncon for ps3

[@grahammason1124]

I still think the best light gun was the one used on the Space Gun arcade game back in the 90's. Accurate, weighty and the pump action feature for the different ammo types was so satisfying. Awesome game that doesn't get enough credit.

[@CoryB_1980]

Not to be "that guy", but Space Gun... like T2 and RevX, weren't light guns. They were accurate because they were basically mounted analog controls that looked like guns. They were completely different tech than like a Time Crisis game.

[@TeamPandory]

I wanna have the big ass guncon1 with the amount of buttons of the guncon2!

My 27 inch Sony Trinitron is still going strong from 1998 when that dies tho I won't be getting another one but while it's still kicking I'm loving using the namco guncon 1 with some ps1 games :D

Which is better this gun or the Sinden Lightgun?

[@OzkrRodz]

Both are good, if you don’t mind the installation and removal of the IR sensors on the screen then the Gun4IR is good. If you don’t mind the white border around the screen but can’t stand the “extra hardware” of the Gun4IR then the Sinden is for you.

[@JustPeasant]

One thing about the light guns. There are lot of folks who complained that their light gun does not work, or not working correctly (accuracy problem), despite the fact that they're of course, using a CRT TV. Some of them very hi-end CRTs. What one has to understand is: When the light guns were designed & during the peak of their popularity, they were meant to be used on non-flat CRT screen, IE the curved ones. Bottom line is: the top of the line (HD Ready) & flat screen CRT may not work, or work as it supposed to. Try switching to bog standard, average quality, non-flat screen. Unless the gun itself is faulty, it may resolve the issue. Unless you have the gun for the wrong region (PAL on NTSC & NTSC on PAL, 50/60Hz). Cheers, everyone!👋🥃

[@ytyndale3643]

Either guncon 1, 2 or 3 are all the best. Can't go wrong with any of them.

[@dub2536]

Great video. TY for covering this topic! o7!

[@NunoPereira]

accuracy, accuracy, accuracy, this is the most important for me, i Hate the Wii solutions, for example any of this guns are in the same level of accuracy of the CRT solutions ?

[@jaybee1584]

Yes the accuracy is even a little bit better than the best CRT lightguns, and have less latency, tested side by side 🙂

[@Nebujin383]

Today i thought about getting some original Lightguns + PS1 & Dreamcast, together with Time Crisis and House of the Dead 2... but i looks like i actually only need these newer Lightguns now :3 Cool stuff, thanks for the Video!

So is the Ggun1 better option then say the Sinden Gun that uses the camera/white frame around the game? trying to figure out what is the better option, IR vs Sinden, defiantly want the solenoid version

[@Taylexwow]

We need a comparison to the Sinden......because I thought the Sinden was expensive but this thing is more than 2X the cost.

[@gregkempchannel]

These are no doubt really cool and I am really glad to see this project out there (you can also use the plans to build your own Gun4IR), but at that price range I was able to buy a nice big Sony CRT for far less and for now I just use that when I want to play lightgun games. Maybe one day I'll spring for it or see if I can build them for a better price but for now I just can't justify it. Thanks for the great review though!

[@WickedGamerCollector]

yeah if you don't mind getting a CRT it can be a cheap solution

[@Quacka666]

If you willing to make it yourself it’s not too bad. I made my hun from a $8 toy gun with full recoil and rumble and I think the parts were less then $100. My kids actually prefer this over the larger and heavier guns

Hello Wicked Gamer. My first ever light gun experience was when I played Duck Hunt and Hogan's Alley on the Ending Man Famiclone system (and that was in 1999). Now am wondering if our beloved AliExpress has some decent light guns that one could use on the PC to play games like Aliens or Dead Effect.

[@WickedGamerCollector]

I don't know how cheap Sinden is or ... how it plays. Personally I think Gun4ir is not a dirty cheap option only the quality and support from him is 👌 Not going to bother trying something different than Gun4ir super cheap solution if they are out there. Beside Sinden that is one I love to check out.

This is really just another implementation of the Wiimote tech that companies have been using to make light guns since the Wii itself came out. I mean, if it works it works, but was really hoping to see something new.

[@specker4118]

No, you are mistaken. It uses the wii cam, yes, but it uses 4 IR Points to track. The Wii only used 2 Points. Its much more precise!!

[@ridingnerdy6406]

@@specker4118 I didn't say it was a Wii control, I said its just another product using the same tech, ie infra red triangulation. It's not even the first one to use 4 ir points.

[@alejandrocuevas5556]

What has used at least 1 point on each side of the screen? You may be talking about a real arcade which uses light bar up top and light bar on the bottom with multiple points? (Which is not at least 1 point on each side of the screen)

[@jaybee1584]

The base IR tech is indeed similar, but the implementation and functionality couldn't be more different 😄 Thanks to the 4 LEDs we achieve an accuracy and response higher than CRT guns themselves. But yeah it's probably not for everyone.

man I m looking back at the light gun games nowdays that i played and missed as well, and was looking for away to go back and play them, i found your video and really peaked my interest more and so I have Questions, first is setting this Gun4ir to Pc easy or a bit hard ? I m already familiar with the emulation stuff on PC but I know that there is another company which also make guns too for modern screens ( Sinden light Guns) but the setup for it is a bit complicated as what i heard from many but the experience is very authentic to the arcades, but its only works on PC and the price of a single guncon is not cheap, so I was wondering if there is another option like gun4ir on your video here, if this one is easier and simple to set up, also can you play this gun on PS3/2/1 console or other consoles using converters or direct plug in play? That would be awesome, If someone tried Gun4IR,please let me know with your thought

[@WickedGamerCollector]

Hey, What you can do is ask the seller if he can help you setup with light-guns ?

[@WickedGamerCollector]

Good question... in the end Gun4ir does work with sensors. Ask this question with the creator 😳

[@TheRealBaDaBingDK]

The Gun maker claims the gun is faster then the original light guns for CRT TV's, but as shown in this video, the gun has a massive delay still, and is no better than most other light guns out there for LCD TV's. What a shame. The only light gun I have seen with almost no delay, is the Sinden light gun.

[@WillisWheeler]

Do they work on the og hardware like ps2 and ps3

[@alejandrocuevas5556]

They do not, only on PC or raspberry pi, things of that nature but not on OG consoles.

[@jonathanclemenz7701]

This company really feels like a couple of hobbyist who have cobbled together a great light gun from parts they have acquired but don’t really have a solid business together yet…. Yet.

[@thaitripz]

@@alejandrocuevas5556 Cool, yeah it would be annoying to reattach sensors everyday on a roll up screen.

[@persmestari]

Seems quite strange to completely ignore the elephant in the room: input lag of ir-based solutions, which makes these pretty much pointless, at least if your plan is to play oldskool lightgun games via emulation.

[@gomigang2875]

Okay so which one should I get if I'm emulating games and want to get that old school arcade feeling without dropping 2k for a cabinet ?

[@persmestari]

@@gomigang2875 Depends. If you want to be able to actually play those games properly, nothing with IR is an option. You would need a proper CRT with a proper lightgun, now that even Sinden has turned out to be pestered with the input lag. Then again, if your aim is to have a DIY cabinet gathering dust, or your "playing" is mostly like in this video: randomly shooting towards the screen without caring if you actually hit anything or if you dont care if its even possible to play the games properly, then i guess whatever is the cheapest would be the right option. Third option would be VR route via EmuVR, while the "feeling" might not be there, at least the lag isn't either. The fact is, especially the arcade games are so hard, its simply impossible to play them properly if there is any additional lag. Everyone with IR-crap who thinks otherwise: prove it, and post your 1cc of Point Blank 2 (emulating the arcade version) on Insane difficulty. That simply isn't doable with the lag. Hell, 1cc is prolly impossible on all difficulties with any kind of IR-crap.

[@jaybee1584]

My GUN4IR's total latency is 5ms, which is less than actual CRT guns, well under a frame. The fastest gun in the market. The reason other IR lightgun are so laggy is either bad camera sensor, bad implementation or simply relying on Bluetooth connection and heavy cursor filtering (that always add several frames of lag).

[@persmestari]

@@jaybee1584 Im more than happy to be wrong about this, i just want so see some proof as there is always someone claiming superiority of his particular IR-crap, but so far i haven't seen anyone actually being able to play properly with this crap. So prove it, and post your 1cc of Point Blank 2 (emulating the arcade version) on Insane difficulty. Or 1cc the first Time Crisis (arcade version obviously) on story mode under 10:00 if you find that easier. Both are very much doable with arcade hardware, so shouldn't be problem with your superior gun, right?

[@jaybee1584]

@@persmestari A quick 10 minutes search on youtube or on my channel would have given you tons of those "proofs" 🙂 You can also ask the thousands of happy users I have, both from Ray and from my DIY version that people use to build their own gun4ir for cheap. We don't bite, you can ask around. You can even build one with very cheap parts and test it by yourself and see if you still think it's shit. And if that's not enough for you there are also more vids coming up soon.

[@jackofallgamesTV]

why would you want that poker right next to your eye when you're lining up your shot. if someone who shot real guns brought that up to their face and lined the sites like you're supposed to, don't get a poke in the eye when they first fire.

Very expensive and so messy with that cable set-up. The Sinden is clearly a better option. As for the value of Launchbox, the lifetime licence for Windows is way more than it should be, especially for something that is only a front end, containing no other functionality at all.

[@alejandrocuevas5556]

Sindens are not clearly the better option, that is an option. Sindens are not readily available, if they are please tell me how quickly one can go about getting one if I have the option to order today and not through a resale on eBay or second hand. Lighting in the room can and will affect how the Sindens react. Setup of the Sinden is much more complex for the average Joe. Gun4ir is a DIY project that can be made on your own on so many different guns with the options of so many solenoids, rumble packs and even RGB lighting, Sinden only has 1 gun shell with only color as an option or 1 kind of force feedback solenoid to come with it. The wires of the IR sensor for the Gun4ir go down the back of the tv just like the power cord of the tv would get routed, yes there are little IR LED sensor bulbs on each side of the tv but the Sinden white border covers up some info on the bottom edges of the tv. So pick your poison, each can have a pro pro a con, all a matter of personal opinion so not a black and white better option.

[@alejandrocuevas5556]

Also as far as price goes yes if you buy from someone else it’s more expensive but if you build your own (which there are videos of how to, I’ve build some myself and purchased from RPEG Electronics, I also have Sindens and lots of different light gun options that have ever came out in the past, not much I haven’t seen) it’s much cheaper and you can choose your gun shell style, rifle, pistol, shotgun
