Sinden Light Gun
Just spent £100 on one of these. I may or may not have had some drinks before I finally committed, having contemplated buying for at least a year.

Where did you get it from? With the turntables and mixer I bought off Ebay falling through, I may now have to change tact..

Needs a pc and some understanding of how to configure emulators and suchlike but is meant to be reasonably intuitive.

Re: Sinden Light Gun
Sinden light guns? What a preposterous proposition.

Re: Sinden Light Gun
I've been umming and ahhing over getting one, be interested to hear what it's like from someone who's paid for it themself. The reviews do look promising, not sure how distracting the border is going to be though.

Re: Sinden Light Gun
Can’t imagine the border is much of an issue TBH, but will let you know once mine’s here and tested. Guess the suez crisis might be extending the lead time somewhat

Re: Sinden Light Gun
Just the other day I was thinking about how much I missed games like a Time Crisis, Virtua Cop and Jurassic Park: The Lost World.
Bloody cool, but it isn’t particularly cheap....

Re: Sinden Light Gun
Indeed - £100 plus shipping for the basic model. Took me a lot of deliberation before I gave in, and needed several large drinks before I finally committed. I’ve always loved light gun games though, and reckon I’ll get some decent use out of it. Definitely overpriced though, and I’m amazed none of the console makers have designed their own versions yet.SirStoneyOfBow wrote: ↑Mon Mar 29, 2021 2:03 am Just the other day I was thinking about how much I missed games like a Time Crisis, Virtua Cop and Jurassic Park: The Lost World.

Re: Sinden Light Gun
The SNES had a Super Scope. I was only 5 at the time but remembered it being huge.

Re: Sinden Light Gun
Mostly retroarch but have had it working with Teknoparrot, too. Dreamcast, Saturn, SNES, NES & PlayStation emus & roms so far. Incredibly, it’s even more accurate than even the best CRT guns were. SUCH a laugh going through the old classics.
I have a second retroarch instance on my game laptop, configured purely for the Sinden, so as to not have to keep reconfiguring every time I want to use it. All pretty simple once you’ve finished setup.

Re: Sinden Light Gun
Agreed, was a bit of a PITA in its early forms but has been rock solid for a long time. Only issue now is finding the correct cores for arcade roms, which can be highly infuriating.
Teknoparrot is an amazing bit of software but even more fiddly to configure. But supports much more modern arcade titles and really works beautifully with an Nvidia or AMD GPU.
