I FINALLY got my sinden's this week. So glad I found your video. Your explainations and descriptions are great! Thanks so much for this! I subbed and look forward to checking out your vids on other games!
Thanks for making such an informative video. I had so many issues setting up tc5 before your video. Please consider similar videos for the mame arcade light gun games and the teknoparrot light game configuration within LaunchBox.
Absolutely will do! With regards to the Mame light gun games, checkout this video th-cam.com/video/h7sRVspoSH8/w-d-xo.html. Andy (aka Titch) does a great job layout out how to get things setup!
The AHK script works well once I configure to my drive letter and folder format.. One last issue, I am unable to shoot after pulling the trigger on the sinden light gun when I use the AHK script. The gun moves the cross hairs and I have the white border but I can shoot . Is there another step I need to do to configure. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
@@Andrew-yo2ju Hmm, I have not seen that issue. I assume you have all of your button mappings in the Sinden software set as default, or at least still have the trigger configured for Left Mouse when pointed at the screen. The only thing I can think of is that perhaps the gun isn't properly seeing the border so it thinks it is off-screen and is sending a Right-click instead of Left? Does the gun work well on the menu screen but then starts to have issues once actually playing the game?
This video helped me out a lot. Thanks! For a guy who doesn't know much about ahk script, I got it all working. I did notice the aim is off or slow at times. I changes my scaling to 120% and Adjusted the properties for the EXE. Assuming it is what it is? Not perfect.
Glad it helped! As far as the aim I agree it's still a little bit "off" for me as well. I just got a new laptop with an 11th gen i7 + RTX3080 and the game still feels sluggish on that. It was definitely not well-optimized. I did find that in Engine/Config/BaseInput file the default mouse speed setting is 60%, maybe try playing with that to speed up the refresh/tracking. Not sure if it will have any effect but I'll be messing with that myself to see if there's any impact.
This helped alot, only issue I have (in not great with ahk) is the in game 'L/R cover' buttons, I haven't got pedals, wanted them mapped to my Dpad on sinden gun, not sure what command to put in?
Probably not necessary at all but was checked by default if I remember correctly. The only thing you should need to configure is selecting your gun from the drop-down.
One thing to note is that your script has been setup for your specific file structure and will not work out of the box. Using demulshooter will make the sinden software not work properly too by the way, i had to restart just to use it again
Absolutely! With the setup of the version I got I believe the ‘T’ and ‘Y’ keyboard buttons are left and right. You can then map an input device to these keys (like the buttons on the Sinden) or just use the buttons on the keyboard. You can also modify the config files to change those input bindings.
Yes absolutely. If you want to manage it on a game-by-game basis you can do it in the Additional Apps section of the game configuration. I don't think LB has conditionals built in, but you could set the Additional App to just be an AHK script that uses the logic I've used in my script in the video. You would have to add this to each game that you want, but the one nice thing about that route is that if the path to your Lightgun software ever changes or you wanted to make some update, you could just change a single AHK script and all of the games would be updated rather than having to adjust the Additional App configuration on each game. If you want to perform the check for an entire platform in LB, you could add that script into the "Running Autohotkey Script" section of the emulator configuration.
@@cjkcizur it’s gone pretty well. When I run mame the script takes down mame to the taskbar. Any ideas. This is using the script in launchbox box. Other emulators work fine.
@@Let_the_fun_begin I think I remember having an issue like that when I was messing around with different configurations. Right now the way I have MAME setup in LB is that I have a separate instance of MAME setup for just the lightgun games. In the emulator configuration Running AHK Script I have the start lightgun logic, and in the Exit AHK script I have a command that just kills Lightgun.exe. Working for me without sending MAME to the windows task bar. I'm also using the Sinden bezel pack instead of the sinden application border FYI.
@cjkcizur Afther one year i have stil not working the crosshair, i have followed your instruction using your ahk script but not work even to add credit, really not understand why.. shure i have seting up my directory here but credid not add , and nothing work as you show on fantastic video.. TNX if some help starting why with your script not add credit
I’ve spent two weeks just getting everything to boot with a border. This here is my ideal setup! Are you manually adding the game entry in LB or importing some file? Just wonder how you’re associating the correct game artwork/logo with the ahk.
If you drop in the AHK file, either by selecting Import ROM or just grabbing the AHK file and dragging it onto the LB window, LaunchBox should match the game to it's database based on the filename and fill in the metadata, images, etc. It looks like you may still have to select a platform and emulator as part of the wizard but once it's imported you can edit the game to disable emulation.
Glad you like it! So you don’t map the pedal to the gun, you just map the pedal to the keyboard inputs that are used in the game or emulator. In the case of TC5, the default keys are ‘t’ and ‘y’ for left and right movement, so the pedal software is just configured to send the ‘t’ or ‘y’ key when you press the left or right pedal. I have a couple other videos where I go into more details of my pedal setup!
@@cjkcizur thankd mate, will play around with the ahk to get those Keys to work on the gun. Got the y key assigned to the right arrow, but the t key also adds a credit, probably something I missed.
@@cjkcizur thank you, finally found the issue. Was sending capital letters from the sinden confug. Switched so left and back act as y and t. Works like a dream now. Thank you 😊👍
If you’re using my AHK script and the Sinden button config, pressing Middle Mouse button (Front-left button on the gun) will allow you cycle through weapons and skip cutscenes. This assumes something hasn’t been changed in the button config files of your copy of TC5.
@@antoninorinaldi472 Are you using an Infinity Pedal? If yes, then you'll need Biped running to map the input of the pedal to Right Mouse button for duck/hide to function. If you're not using an Infinity Pedal (or some other pedal) you'll need to make sure whatever your duck/hide button is mapped to Right Mouse. This is usually the pump action on the Sinden.
tried all the fixes but aim is still all over the place fine on selection screen even tried changing res to 1920x180 and its better but not perfect funny with 1080 res gun leans right with my native it leans left
Hi,thanks a lot for this amazing tutorial.I have a huge problem, I can not get reshade to work. I tried several releases but i always get stuck because home button doesn t work.Could you please pass me your reshade border fix?I d really aprecciate that.Thanks a lot.
Tried it like your Video but stuck at the End.With wich exe do i start the game and how to open reshade for white border at the End of your Video? Is it possible to download your rom with all these set ups ready? Thanks for your time again.
Hi, am I the only one who doesn't see the Biped2.exe file in the package? Is there specific link, cause not included in the github link. Thanks so much!
I can't get this working. I feel like some steps are missing. The gun aims perfectly, but the button mappings are all messed up. None of the buttons or trigger on my sinden gun even does anything. Anyone else having problems? I tried running it through teknoparrot and the trigger still doesnt work. The left front button is SHOOT. >
What letters would i need to change to get the buttons on the side of the sinden gun to make it pedal left and right what do i need to edit in the script? As id like to do it via the gun and not on the keyboard.
excellent video. I got my sinden last week and follow Instruction step by step. The weird thing is light gun and keyboard are not respond after game launched. I can't insert a coin or start the game. When the game is launch whatever I press any buttons (keyboard or sinden gun )are not responding. I use DemulShooterX64 and your AHK script. any idea? thanks
Hmm, not off the top of my head unfortunately. Literally nothing is responding? I would check the source of the game to see if the key bindings are different in the configuration files, or if there's some bug in the AHK that's swallowing the key presses without sending them to the OS. Do you see a cursor/icon on the screen and is that responsive and tracks with the gun on the menu screen (assuming you can get that far without being able to insert a coin)?
This is great and it helps a lot! However, it seems Demulshooter doesn't do anything with any combination of admin rights on the exe's or ahk script exe I use to run it, the in-game gun is always moving on reference, like a mouse peripheral. It seems to work with things like Gaia Attack 4. I just can't figure it out.
Interesting and I'm sure super frustrating. So just to help troubleshoot, does the gun seem to behave normally on the menu screen, but then goes haywire once you get in-game?
@@BigBangBlitz Hmm interesting, yeah I have not seen that issue, only the problem with screen resolution and windows scaling throwing shots off. Let me run TC5 later tonight and see the behavior. I believe when running you can confirm that Demulshooter has "attached" by seeing an icon in your system tray.
@@cjkcizur Running via an elevated ahk exe with the switches -target=es3 -rom=tc5 and the icon does appear in the corner. The switches for TimeCrisisGame-Win64-Shipping.exe are -NOINI -Language=JPN -playside=1
Hey man great guide got it working I can play the game without the gun without issue, but when i play with the Sinden lightgun the game runs for a while then the people you shoot all go slow motion. Whats strange is the gun still shoots at full speed and the graphics are flawless but the people you shoot go all Matrix. I have tried it on my laptop and my pc with a 3060 graphics card but same issue so its not my pc. I was wondering if it may be a demul shooter problem? As I can play everything else without issue? Or maybe its the script? I'm killing myself trying to find a solution any help would be appreciated. MAME, ps2,ps1, Teknoparrot all have no problem.
Yes that should actually run it fine and be perfectly playable. I’m running a similar setup with a slightly more powerful processor (i7) but a less powerful graphics card. It’s not perfect but work really well. I’ve actually run the game on a new gaming laptop with an 11th gen i7 + GTX3080 and it was just a bit smoother but not much different than on my much lower powered arcade PC.
@@cjkcizur Hello again. I was able to launch TC5 on my lower end PC with lag. I just purchased a new PC and it is not even able to launch the game. When launch I got this error "The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b)". both of the PC are running windows 10. Any suggestion will be much appreciated. I did a lot of research and try to fix per advise with no luck. Thanks.
@@cjkcizur Thank you for your informative video. What would be, in your opinion, the minimum hardware setup to run this game well? And would that setup also be suitable for other Sinden shooters? Thank you for your answer.
That's tough question, but the actual system in the arcade I believe is the Namco ES3, which is a 3rd gen Intel i5, 8 or 16GB RAM depending on revision, and a GTX 650 Ti or GTX 680. My setup is 8GB RAM with a 4th gen i7, but an old AMD graphics card which I think introduces some minor performance degradation but work OK. At a minimum I would say an i5 processor, 8GB RAM, and a decent graphics card with at least 2GB video RAM.
Hey. Thanks for this video it helped me a great deal. I do have one issue with the Sinden guns though. Maybe you have some ideas. Guns work perfectly when i am in the menus selecting missions but as soon as the game actually starts the gun are way off
I had the same issue when I first set this up and it was due to my resolution/scaling of my display. Checkout the section starting at about 10:15 in the video and see if that resolves it.
Can’t believe I missed that. Will try it out. I wasn’t even looking at that because my desktop setting are 100% scaled always and because the in game menus were spot on is what threw me off. Thanks 🙏
@@cjkcizur Scaling, DPI, Res all was good and still had the issue, but finally found out what it was. I was not using Demul just the Sinden app only which I though wasn't going to be a problem since the aim was perfect when navigating the game menus.
@@WhistlerNLGaming how did you fix this? I am having that same issue now. I have the script setup to run demul, but I’m not sure it is. Aim is a mess during the game
I had the exact same issue initially. There's a section in the video about the resolution scaling, make sure you either have your resolution set to 100%, or you configure the Advanced option to have the game control scaling. It starts at about the 10:15 mark in the video.
All my AHKs are available at my GitHub at: github.com/johnnyruz/barrel_arcade/blob/main/AHK_Scripts/TimeCrisis5/Time%20Crisis%205.ahk If there's something more specific you're looking for let me know!
@@cjkcizur Tried it like your Video but stuck at the End.With wich exe do i start the game and how to open reshade for white border at the End of your Video? Is it possible to download your rom with all these set ups ready? Thanks for your time again.
So I doubt you're reading comments from videos this old, but I've been trying to follow it as best I can. 1st off, i had to convert your script from v1 ahk to v2 thankfully there was tool. 2nd, when it launches lightgun.exe it doesn't auto start, i don't know if I'm missing an option for that. 3rd, the script doesn't close demul, I'm going to try to add it to the $esc portion you have. and lastly the game doesn't run. i swear i got it to work before but now it complains about the DLL files missing from the emulator. so I'm at a loss here. even running the noini in ur ahk it doesn't run, doesn't even error.
Hey! Definitely still paying attention but as with most of my projects I’m obsessed for a few weeks/months and then on to the next thing, so it’s been awhile since I’ve played this game. I’ll see if I can find some time over the next few days to see if things are still working after Launchbox and windows updates.
@@cjkcizur i sorted out the issue with the game not running. i had to install something that had those dlls so I chose epic games launcher and now I can successfully launch the game! the AHK file opens all the programs needed to run, but I need to sort the sinden issue. it doesn't auto start like I said, and I need to get the border working with reshader. so I'm like 75% there! thanks for replying though I appreciate it. i will be following your other videos to get the other TC games working.
@@cjkcizur I got everything sorted! the settings I needed were in the config tab of the software. but I had to select the gun in the main window, and save that, then check 2 boxes on the config tab to auto start and minimize the software on launch. now everything works perfect with the AHK! so happy. now to follow your other vids to get those working!
great video I;ll try it later thanks for doing the video well done in details too and sub too im back I did try it also there is a wiki with this too dont have pedals just using gun also there is a files to make it 2 player too just google Configure Time Crisis 5 with Sinden Lightgun wiki
I don't have one to test but I would assume it's possible. You would just have to have the controller inputs map to the mouse X/Y to move the crosshair. Depending on what input type the controller appears to the PC I'm sure there are gamepad tools/software that can enable that. Personally have not tried this so my experience is zero on this one.
Blasted hell this was a nightmare to figure out perfectly but i got it done thanks to you! For anyone who wants to keep it super simple for game play with a mouse or aimtrak and pedals, heres my AHK . Run, "TimeCrisisGame-Win64-Shipping.exe" -NOINI -Language=JPN -playside=1 5::
Aaaaah man. Got it all working but the game runs like shit!!! Must be a setting somewhere because when it first got dumped I could run it full speed no problem. Thank for the script mate 👍🏼
Hi, so sinden lightgun works perfectly for the menu (choose between 1st stage or 4th) with crosshair, no issue but ingame, impossible, crosshair disappeared and the aiming is completely crazy. it seems aiming is mouse style only: i can move precisely with the mouse but no longer with sinden... any hint? (oddly, this behavior is the same with TC4 on RPCS3: ok for gun calibration, then dead ingame... but TC razing storm and others such as TC1 (mame or psx) and TC2/3 (PCSX2) work perfectly with sinden...) EDIT: got it working: file BaseInput.ini (..TC5\Engine\Config) needed some tweak, see th-cam.com/video/LQsUlPtuWqc/w-d-xo.html

@@cjkcizur Hello again. I was able to launch TC5 on my lower end PC with lag. I just purchased a new PC and it is not even able to launch the game. When launch I got this error "The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b)". both of the PC are running windows 10. Any suggestion will be much appreciated. I did a lot of research and try to fix per advise with no luck. Thanks.
@@cjkcizur Thank you for your informative video. What would be, in your opinion, the minimum hardware setup to run this game well? And would that setup also be suitable for other Sinden shooters?
Thank you for your answer.
That's tough question, but the actual system in the arcade I believe is the Namco ES3, which is a 3rd gen Intel i5, 8 or 16GB RAM depending on revision, and a GTX 650 Ti or GTX 680. My setup is 8GB RAM with a 4th gen i7, but an old AMD graphics card which I think introduces some minor performance degradation but work OK. At a minimum I would say an i5 processor, 8GB RAM, and a decent graphics card with at least 2GB video RAM.
Hi can anybody help to change the buttons to the side of the sinden gun to make it left & right plz
Did you ever figure this out
@@Firebat138 no
Hey. Thanks for this video it helped me a great deal. I do have one issue with the Sinden guns though. Maybe you have some ideas. Guns work perfectly when i am in the menus selecting missions but as soon as the game actually starts the gun are way off
I had the same issue when I first set this up and it was due to my resolution/scaling of my display. Checkout the section starting at about 10:15 in the video and see if that resolves it.
Can’t believe I missed that. Will try it out. I wasn’t even looking at that because my desktop setting are 100% scaled always and because the in game menus were spot on is what threw me off. Thanks 🙏
@@cjkcizur Scaling, DPI, Res all was good and still had the issue, but finally found out what it was. I was not using Demul just the Sinden app only which I though wasn't going to be a problem since the aim was perfect when navigating the game menus.
@@WhistlerNLGaming how did you fix this? I am having that same issue now. I have the script setup to run demul, but I’m not sure it is. Aim is a mess during the game
@@WeWantPicks i am unable to take a look right now but will try to get back to you asap.
when I get into game the tracking is all over the place, but when I am in the main menu the aiming is just fine, I am lost?
I had the exact same issue initially. There's a section in the video about the resolution scaling, make sure you either have your resolution set to 100%, or you configure the Advanced option to have the game control scaling. It starts at about the 10:15 mark in the video.
@@cjkcizur I got it to work, but thanks so much for the quick reply
Hi could u send your AHK script only mapped wth the sinden lightgun buttons for download with google? Big Thanks
All my AHKs are available at my GitHub at: github.com/johnnyruz/barrel_arcade/blob/main/AHK_Scripts/TimeCrisis5/Time%20Crisis%205.ahk If there's something more specific you're looking for let me know!
@@cjkcizur I can t download it on my Laptop. Old macbook
@@cjkcizur Tried it like your Video but stuck at the End.With wich exe do i start the game and how to open reshade for white border at the End of your Video?
Is it possible to download your rom with all these set ups ready? Thanks for your time again.
So I doubt you're reading comments from videos this old, but I've been trying to follow it as best I can. 1st off, i had to convert your script from v1 ahk to v2 thankfully there was tool. 2nd, when it launches lightgun.exe it doesn't auto start, i don't know if I'm missing an option for that. 3rd, the script doesn't close demul, I'm going to try to add it to the $esc portion you have. and lastly the game doesn't run. i swear i got it to work before but now it complains about the DLL files missing from the emulator. so I'm at a loss here. even running the noini in ur ahk it doesn't run, doesn't even error.
Hey! Definitely still paying attention but as with most of my projects I’m obsessed for a few weeks/months and then on to the next thing, so it’s been awhile since I’ve played this game. I’ll see if I can find some time over the next few days to see if things are still working after Launchbox and windows updates.
@@cjkcizur i sorted out the issue with the game not running. i had to install something that had those dlls so I chose epic games launcher and now I can successfully launch the game! the AHK file opens all the programs needed to run, but I need to sort the sinden issue. it doesn't auto start like I said, and I need to get the border working with reshader. so I'm like 75% there! thanks for replying though I appreciate it. i will be following your other videos to get the other TC games working.
@@cjkcizur I got everything sorted! the settings I needed were in the config tab of the software. but I had to select the gun in the main window, and save that, then check 2 boxes on the config tab to auto start and minimize the software on launch. now everything works perfect with the AHK! so happy. now to follow your other vids to get those working!
great video I;ll try it later thanks for doing the video well done in details too and sub too im back I did try it also there is a wiki with this too dont have pedals just using gun also there is a files to make it 2 player too just google Configure Time Crisis 5 with Sinden Lightgun wiki
Could you play it on PS5 controller?
I don't have one to test but I would assume it's possible. You would just have to have the controller inputs map to the mouse X/Y to move the crosshair. Depending on what input type the controller appears to the PC I'm sure there are gamepad tools/software that can enable that. Personally have not tried this so my experience is zero on this one.
Blasted hell this was a nightmare to figure out perfectly but i got it done thanks to you! For anyone who wants to keep it super simple for game play with a mouse or aimtrak and pedals, heres my AHK .
Run, "TimeCrisisGame-Win64-Shipping.exe" -NOINI -Language=JPN -playside=1

Have you got the configuration of gun4ir for this game? Thanks a lot.
Regards.
Aaaaah man. Got it all working but the game runs like shit!!! Must be a setting somewhere because when it first got dumped I could run it full speed no problem.
Thank for the script mate 👍🏼
Great thnx!

Hi, so sinden lightgun works perfectly for the menu (choose between 1st stage or 4th) with crosshair, no issue
but ingame, impossible, crosshair disappeared and the aiming is completely crazy. it seems aiming is mouse style only: i can move precisely with the mouse but no longer with sinden...
any hint?
(oddly, this behavior is the same with TC4 on RPCS3: ok for gun calibration, then dead ingame... but TC razing storm and others such as TC1 (mame or psx) and TC2/3 (PCSX2) work perfectly with sinden...)
EDIT: got it working: file BaseInput.ini (..TC5\Engine\Config) needed some tweak, see th-cam.com/video/LQsUlPtuWqc/w-d-xo.html
Thanks you're a saint, same trouble here
Anyone know how i can change the auto script to make cross hair always on and Freeplay?
