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.
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
@@UCLAKoolmanMy guess would be you need to adjust your distance to the screen.
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!
Does it have the arcade game CarnEvil?
@@kingblazedog I’m not sure pal. I think there’s a video on YT that goes through every light gun game though!
That game isn't on there, but it has a lot of other games.@@kingblazedog
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.
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.
also you can make it 4:3 by choosing the option on the pause menu on pandora box 10th
And it does remember the aspect ratio per game. I just wish 4:3 was the default.
if it just had the arcade versions and some more menu options id buy and make it into an arcade cabinet
Would be better than any of those arcade 1up as is
Man... no House of the Dead 1..
Only way legit is House of the Jank on Saturn 😅
Model 2 Emulator runs the arcade version decent enough, though I don't know if it's compatible with this Pandora's Box thing. I play it with Sinden Lightguns on my PC
@@TheKayliedGamerChannel-TH-cami have it on my xbox360 livearcade and xbox classic
@@eapleitezis much difference with sinden?
To be fair, House of the Dead 2 is better
If all three point blank game aim well, i think it's worth it for me.
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.
I got this for the light guns a few weeks ago. Its good fun.
Last week i also got the legends ultimate cabinet.
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
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...😮💨
Wow this looks really enticing! Def going to consider this. Its been too long since I've played any light gun games at home.
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 4:3 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.
Does it have time crisis 3?
Does it have tekken 3?
@@travisgraham2067No Time Crisis 3, yes Tekken 3. PS1 version, not arcade.
Any Sega Master System light gun games? it has a few gems!
How did you switch it to 4:3? He couldn't figure it out.
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!
They do sell it without the game pads. And even sell the guns and pedals without the console for pc users
If they remove the extra pads they could knock off maybe 5-8 bucks...
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.
throw a link if possible
@@overoula I had posted a link but it’s been removed. Just google acrycade gear
link plz
Interesting
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.
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!
Totally agree. I thought it would of came out on the Saturn or Dreamcast back in the day.
Can you add more games?
Thanks for sharing this! My little dude and I have been waiting for something like this for a long time!
Thanks for the review, ive been contemplating on buying this. Im gonna "pull the trigger" thanks for your honesty.👍🤙
My favorite was always Operation Wolf :)
The ABXY on the buttons being in the completely wrong order is hilarious
I never would tought that they would make this kind of multigame box buth with light guns!
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?
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.
They’re likely RF dip switches like on old garage doors before revolving codes, you’d set them to match your opener remote.
Thats what it looks like, but I found out its simply used to assign player 1 or player 2.
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?
the fact that their website has a 'back to school sale' is a little dark IMO but these do look fun
Trenchcoat Mafia in da house! 😆
Lol
Really wish Carnevil was on this!
The little switches on the bottom is for button configuration. Different games have different buttons for trigger, jump etc
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.
The dip switches are to set player 1 and player 2.
Really simple to add games to this console. You can switch it to 4:3 by pressing pause and switching aspect ratio
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.
Oooh I saw a few reviews on it I'm glad you're reviewing it.
Ooooooo it has Lupin the 3rd~❤
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.
Awesome. Thanks for sharing this! Man, there's nothing like a good lightgun game.
Haven’t watched the video yet, but if this thing is even halfway decent and works with Time Crisis games, I’m buying one.
I am dissapointed it doesnt include all three games of the house of the dead
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
@@overoulaso I can't add the Master System lightgun games? Have a Sinden, it is just a pain in the rear to setup, thought this plug and play might be the way to go
Point blank was so fun. That's a pretty cool machine
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
But, hey missed the opportunity to put some Model 3 games here, it would be a smashing move!
i love mine..good quality and zero setup on pandora box 10th... i use it both with my pandora box 10th and my pc
how do you use it with pc? do you use emulators?
yes with coinops/teknoparot/batocera/retrobat or lightgun pc games like house of the dead remake etc its recognized as a mouse. you need the extra hub though if you need recoil to work@@amalio15
I've been waiting years for something like this.
You have to set your tv to a different aspect ratio to display correctly… It’s amazing!
Almost had me, but they didn't have the lost world Jurassic Park lol
wow I bet playing Operation wolf with the gun was fun despite the issues
Yeah Operation Wolf played very well, but I noticed it was a game I had to turn the cross hairs on or the aiming was a little wonky for some reason.
Looks amazing to me, great vid and thanks for haggling to get hold of one to review
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
This works with launch box.
Nice review! Thanks for posting. No Carn-Evil? I agree with you, I’m all in on arcade versions but the console ports are just meh.
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
I love these!!! Just wish there wasn't so many wire hookups and wish they were black...despite that...there worth it.😊 very much fun!😊
you can add some gun skins to them if you want.
@theretroshooter how do I do that? What should I look for? Never heard of gun skins before?
Where can you get the gun skins? Thanks.@@theretroshooter
I'd like to know, too.@@robertonline6543
The dip switches tell the system which gun is player 1 and player 2. I wanted the red gun to be player 1 so I switched them
Wow this is amazing. Does it includes Master System games too?
Thanks. I love this stuff and did not know it was still a thing.
Love your stuff just found you the other day. ❤😊
This is a excellent lightgun. Used on PC with windows and batocera. Like other solutions setup is required, but is worth the price. Back to school sale is going on right now on there site. Thanks for the review!!
The light guns can be used with a pc without having the Pandora’s box?
@@kaaihue1 Yes, they work like a mouse. Facebook has a retroshooter group. It's a popular product right now.
Cool to have something dedicated to light guns as it doesn't play properly on newer electronics. This might be a buy.
Awesome review!
Virtua cop?
Now I miss playing Point Blank, it'd be nice if Namco releases a collection 😊😊😊
The graphics look a load better then I remember for some of these
I need a good quality light gun with recoil and I'm in.
i have aimtrak sinden ae lightgun and retroshooter.. they have pretty good quality and they are perfect for someone who wants to play some lightgun games just plug n play without any setups
Sweet!
I put all these games on my Nintendo Wii (I have hombrew) with with the pistol wii mote and plays flawlessly I guess this is something similar
How did you mod
Did the same, except on wii u. 🎉
@@dylanzenskateboardingsearch how to homebrew your wii/wii u on TH-cam.
@@dylanzenskateboarding ez just try looking for the letter bomb homebrew
@@travdaddy777 how do you do this
Thanks.
Can you connect usb joysticks to this? Maybe put it into a cab?
Yes, the optional controllers are wireless USB. I agree with the review to not buy those. Most USB controllers should work.
Very cool... I need something like this... Just that Octopus stuff...👍🏿
I need this in my life. time crisis, operation wolf, T2 the arcade game, revolution x (that's right lol).
The dip switch settings on the guns is for player 1 player 2.
Hey yours was the review I was looking for.If mame automatically detects the foot pedals there would even be no need for the game box it comes with
Great review. Thanks!
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.
I’m totally interested
I can feel me coming down with a touch of epilepsy !
Blasting with them there Strait-outta-Wuhan Pandora gunz like some John Woo on crack!! 💥 🐿️
I loved time crisis
If you plugged it into a 4:3 monitor, would it simply default to that setting since there is no 16:9 available? 😊
i think a good solution is LG flatron with aspect ratio 5:4 monitor
I like mine as well. Just buyer beware with the company. I've had issues with my red gun from day one having a delay on the recoil. Multiple emails on discord and to the company directly and no help. They've just blown me off. It's mostly ok because I play solo but it's not right. So good luck when you order and hope you get everything working fine otherwise you're SOL.
I would love to see if someone could get Carnival King - Big Time Shooter working with this. I have the actual arcade machine, and its huge.
One of mine didn’t work out of the box. Recoil worked but I couldn’t aim. The front part on one didn’t work. I sent them videos of it not working. After a little back and forth on trying a couple things they determined that the front part was not functional and they shipped out another one at no charge. It’s due to arrive in a couple of days. I opted for the one with no controllers and the PC attachment.
They were pretty responsive. I had responses within a day. So I can say the CS wasn’t too bad.
The product itself is ok. I don’t have a sinden to compare it to so I can’t speak on how much better one is than the other. I will say that it wasn’t that good playing Duck Hunt from a short distance on my oled. Not bad on time crisis and HOTD. A lot of the other stuff I hadn’t for around to playing.
i only want this for the Point blank series. Tough choice on money.
If this had vampire night I'd be interested..
Just like aimtrak light guns, 2 point infrared systems are crap once you start moving around and having to recalibrate all the time.
If these were cheap, which they’re not, it would maybe be worth it but nah
No American Laser Games titles?
I'll stay patient.
I want a version of this but better
What other better solutions do you suggest?
area51,time crisis, and house if thebdead would take all of my time.with a bit of duck hunt
I received mine today. It has an option to change to 4:3 ratio.
I received an email this morning from the Retro Shooter company, they sent me an update that now has the 4:3 option. So perhaps newer shipped ones have the latest update already. But nice it can be updated if need be.
When do you plan on doing the video with it hooked up to the PC?
Could you do a set up video for doing that when you do?
those are modeled after a gen 4 glock 17
Gen 3; you can tell by grip texture and finger grooves.
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.
So many mixed opinions about this thing. Some TH-camrs love it and some hate it. However, you didn't seem to have some of the problems with the guns not working properly that others have had.
Love the game list and def gon pick one up, but MAN i wish revolution X, ps or arcade, was on here as well as house of the dead 3. Dont mind 1 not being here since i have the remake on switch. Glad to see operation wolf and terminator 2 arcade.
Dude that looks INSANE!!!! I WANT IT 😂
Why can't they just get the library solid with that price tag. Should have included arcade version and remove the flashes with solid performance.
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?
Emulation is the way to go
looks like fun!🥂
