[@overoula]

Lightgun default settings are single fire recoil, pull the trigger once and there will be a recoil. To enable rapid/automatic recoil, press and hold the 4 way joystick middle button for 3 seconds, you can hold the trigger and have the recoil all the time. To turn off recoil, press and hold the trigger before pluging in the lightgun USB cable to the port, if the lightgun is already plugged in press and hold trigger before powering on the console. To enable the recoil again, unplug the lightgun and plug it back in or power off and on the console without holding the trigger.

[@UCLAKoolman]

Any tips for calibrating the guns? The crosshair seems to drift when aiming near the edges of my screen although I'm aiming straight at the targets when calibrating. Thx

[@HeavyInstinct]

​@@UCLAKoolmanMy guess would be you need to adjust your distance to the screen.

[@robertpeacock894]

Thanks for sharing this! My little dude and I have been waiting for something like this for a long time!

[@TheGameBeaters]

Wow this looks really enticing! Def going to consider this. Its been too long since I've played any light gun games at home.

[@themexicanwolverine]

Oooh I saw a few reviews on it I'm glad you're reviewing it.

[@MuffHam]

I got this for the light guns a few weeks ago. Its good fun. Last week i also got the legends ultimate cabinet.

[@mak23997]

So can you just plug and play this into your AT legends cabinet? This would seem like the ideal solution to have an all in one arcade cabinet. I currently have an old SF2 cabinet running a pandoras box EX and I have this retroshooter on an LCD in my office. Would much rather have it "built in" on an arcade cabinet. Was thinking this should be doable on the ATgames

[@traviswright456]

Thanks for the review, ive been contemplating on buying this. Im gonna "pull the trigger" thanks for your honesty.👍🤙

[@MrSlowestD16]

Damn, would love something like this if I could play some of my all-time favs such as Jurassic park, house of the dead, time crisis, and virtua cop smoothly.

[@Victor-it6bv]

If all three point blank game aim well, i think it's worth it for me.

[@MountainHomeJerrel]

Awesome. Thanks for sharing this! Man, there's nothing like a good lightgun game.

[@LtdResources]

Looks amazing to me, great vid and thanks for haggling to get hold of one to review

[@robkrasinski6217]

This is a better deal than getting the 1up Time Crisis. This also only has the first Time Crisis but has another special edition of Time Crisis and three Point Blank games, Lethal Enforcers 1 and 2, Area 51 and Maximum Force, House of the Dead 2 but not 1 or 3, and more. I could use this in my 1up T2 or a modded cabinet with Big Buck sides and 19" monitor, with wood bezel that fits 3/4 width which I might theme to HOTD2.

[@extremawesomazing]

Great review. Thanks!

[@corngames8982]

Man... no House of the Dead 1..

[@TheKayliedGamerChannel-YouTube]

Only way legit is House of the Jank on Saturn 😅

[@eapleitez]

Love your stuff just found you the other day. ❤😊

[@kirby695]

Awesome review!

[@Falcon5698]

if it just had the arcade versions and some more menu options id buy and make it into an arcade cabinet

[@cdnreddevil9895]

Would be better than any of those arcade 1up as is

[@kevanhanley697]

I bought the cheapest package just with the hub and guns (no controllers). Never owned a PC, only consoles and an arcade machine. Always wanted a light gun set up but wanted something simple so when i found out about these i bought them straight away. For anyone wondering i think they a great. Spent all day playing it with little to no issues other than having to re calibrate the guns every now and then which takes a minute or so to do. I have no other experiences to put them against though, so for people who own more expensive set ups it might not be for them. If you are like me and want something easy to set up to play on every now and then i 100% recommend them!

[@kingblazedog]

Does it have the arcade game CarnEvil?

[@kevanhanley697]

@@kingblazedog I’m not sure pal. I think there’s a video on YT that goes through every light gun game though!

[@davidbellotti1110]

That game isn't on there, but it has a lot of other games.@@kingblazedog

[@JohnKelly2]

I'd love to play Crossbow with a real lightgun, but the price is a little steep for me. But it seems like a decent solution.

[@overoula]

also you can make it <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="243">4:3</a> by choosing the option on the pause menu on pandora box 10th

[@EightPieceBox]

And it does remember the aspect ratio per game. I just wish 4:3 was the default.

[@galacticwarlock2271]

Thanks. I love this stuff and did not know it was still a thing.

[@HeavyInstinct]

Very interested in hearing what your experience is like with these guns using the PC hub. I need a good economical gun solution to use with my own build.

[@EightPieceBox]

I received mine a couple of weeks ago. As far as the Panoras Box goes it's better than others Ive tried, mainly because you can switch it to <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="243">4:3</a> and it remembers the setting for each game. The games are decently categorized considering there are 5000. Almost 2000 of those are NES and Genesis, but most of the rest are arcade. All the games I've tried have run smoothly. I haven't even gotten around to setting up the guns, but they feel well built. Seemed like a good deal to me.

[@travisgraham2067]

Does it have time crisis 3?

[@travisgraham2067]

Does it have tekken 3?

[@CheeZSkeez]

​@@travisgraham2067No Time Crisis 3, yes Tekken 3. PS1 version, not arcade.

[@SEGAMasterSystemNerd]

Any Sega Master System light gun games? it has a few gems!

[@justinlee2331]

How did you switch it to 4:3? He couldn't figure it out.

[@MrJohnsmith916]

Very good review. This is how a review should be done. Other youtubers review a product and dont show the product. All we see is their damn face the whole time. Great job. Keep it up.

[@mr.voidout4739]

Aahhh man, this brings back bittersweet memories. I had the PS1 Time Crisis port, and it came with the red gun. That was about my second-favorite game at the time. Eventually, it just... got lost. I suspect a "friend" stole it, but I dunno... seeing one again...😮‍💨

[@apocalypticminister1369]

Very cool... I need something like this... Just that Octopus stuff...👍🏿

[@brazilmugenteam]

Wow this is amazing. Does it includes Master System games too?

[@wildbillcody2127]

The little switches on the bottom is for button configuration. Different games have different buttons for trigger, jump etc

[@JA-uz7se]

Omg no way! This is awesome ! Arcade 1up are making time crisis home arcade with the guns. However it will be like $750+ and that’s too much. This basic set like you recommended I think is perfect. But wanted to know : Do the guns recoil ? Can you load more gun game roms to the console?

[@EsotericAxeman]

I really like this always been a big fan of light gun games glad something like this was made! I agree I wish arcade versions were included, I hope there's a way to add games

[@bambino100011]

My favorite was always Operation Wolf :)

[@davidguinn8880]

As far as I know, switches like that (dip switch) are either set up to be used as a group of individual switches, (on/off x3), or the software interprets them as a number in binary. The max number of settings you can get with 3 binary digits is 7. I'm not an engineer, but I strongly suspect you won't break anything by fiddling with them, since you know how they were set originally so you can go back, and they're clearly accessible by the end-user.

[@toothpaste22]

Point blank was so fun. That's a pretty cool machine

[@dallan7736]

I've been waiting years for something like this.

[@gtvrossa]

As soon as I saw Jurassic Park on there I was sold! Sure it's only 80plus shooters on it, but still you'd had paid more than that for ONE of these games back in the arcades back in the day. Can you imagine how much that JP game would have cost brand new? I remember being blown away by that game upon release in my local cinema. Been wanting to own it over since. Now all I need to complete my retro gaming life is a set up like this purely for racing games, home and arcade!!!! Now THAT would be my dream setup. I know you can do that yourself, but I havent got the time nor patience lol. So here's hoping someone out there wil eventually do it!

[@paulcunningham3994]

Totally agree. I thought it would of came out on the Saturn or Dreamcast back in the day.

[@ebonhawken574]

Can you add more games?

[@roro54321]

They’re likely RF dip switches like on old garage doors before revolving codes, you’d set them to match your opener remote.

[@Madlittlepixel]

Thats what it looks like, but I found out its simply used to assign player 1 or player 2.

[@jayvee5886]

The dip switches are to set player 1 and player 2.

[@ChuckieV79]

If this had some kind of homebrew scene where people were actively porting arcade shooters to this thing it would absolutely be a home run, but does anyone know if that is a thing? Or is it just basic console emulation and not a proprietary software running these games?

[@SianaGearz]

It's emulation only, and they're usually an Android box (usually Allwinner or possibly Rockchip processor) with a custom main activity which replaces the launcher, which is shell and emulator all in one, cobbled together from bits of open source emulators. Traditionally Final Burn Alpha does a lot of heavy lifting in Pandoras, but you also find pieces of MAME in there plus some other emulators.

[@WickedClownNZ]

You can get a fisheye lens for these guns which allow you to stand a lot closer to the screen. I have them and they make a world of difference.

[@overoula]

throw a link if possible

[@WickedClownNZ]

[@theretroshooter]

did you buy from NZ? We are going to start selling/adding the lens to the gun kits. We built the orange tip with threads to screw it on.

[@darktetsuya]

seems like a cool little device! if they could knock $40 bucks off or something and have just the two guns and pedals I'd seriously consider getting one, I just don't need all those extra pads the mrs. and I do own the atgames legends joysticks so we're good on that! would definitely be the dream to own one to play one of her favorites in the arcade, AREA 51!

[@SaitouSad1]

They do sell it without the game pads. And even sell the guns and pedals without the console for pc users

[@GeomancerHT]

If they remove the extra pads they could knock off maybe 5-8 bucks...

[@ShaneChristopher]

Did you find the documentation? The QR code that came on the card pulls up all of the instructions. Talks about the dip switches on the bottom (designates player 1 and 2). Tells you how to adjust recoil/rapid fire…turn off/on etc. the instructions are helpful

[@atownddwon1209]

Really wish Carnevil was on this!

Does the light guns work on any LCD & LED TV? Are the light guns very accurate or do you have to calibrate and adjust

[@PlanetPOW]

If you plugged it into a <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="243">4:3</a> monitor, would it simply default to that setting since there is no <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="969">16:9</a> available? 😊

[@MigMonkey]

I've never used a pandoras box, is it possible to swap out console ported games and install the arcade versions instead? I see it has a removable sd card so maybe?

[@mixedhairless]

I’m totally interested

[@kowalskivideos6476]

Might try this with my launch box pc setup. I’m sure the sinden is nicer but it’s more expensive and I never card about the white box around the image. Maybe it’s just me but it takes away a little bit of the experience

Please let us know how well it works with the PC once you get your hub... I'm hearing that the guns actually work way better when using on a PC.

wonder if you could add your own games (genesis, sega cd, and master system) onto the sd card.

you can add whatever game you want up to dreamcast/naomi/psp if you have the pandora box 10th.. but not extra lightgun games, btw if you buy guns with the extra hub you can use them on pc also with teknoparot /retrobat /coin ops etc

I suspect this isn't a "real" Pandora's Box but a clone (a clone of an emulation system being a weird concept). It has the 3A/3H logo ('H' with the three lines), but it's not a form-factor they sell as far as I can tell. But, the hub they sell claims in their web site to allow these guns to be hooked up to the Pandora's Box 10th Edition systems, which is intriguing. I've been looking for a set of guns to use with one of those, and these seem good enough. Price wise the basic kit is about what a pair of untested guns runs off aliexpress, so think I'll go for this setup. Worse case it only works with the hardware it comes with.
