@@yougotbitchslapped 😂 It probably wouldn’t have been so bad if they weren’t so off on the ETA. They estimated I’d have my order by May 2021….so they were off by quite a bit lol.

Good to see guests in the game room again! This is going to be a killer device if they can simplify the configuration.. I am really struggling getting mine to work
@samuelgershman6355 so many hard to narrow down but the RE games, HOTD series, & Virtua Cops ofc. I'm a big fan of the Wii games. When properly setup & upscaled they are some of the best imo...ghost squad & buck hunter are the best versions of those games. For newer games check out the teknoparrot lineup.
I looked into this long ago because I was interested in building my own home arcade machine. I hesitated because it seemed too good to be true (and expensive), but holy cow, this is TOTALLY worth it! How amazing for all us 80s and 90s kids who haven't been able to get an experience like this in forever.
I want a sinden too. But the thing is, I'm really PC illiterate when it comes to all the PC file configuration etc.. I read that the AimTrak is really user friendly, but like, double or triple the price of sinden. Despite that price, I might still pick one up. Then I'd need to configure some MAME shooters... (no clue how lol)
@@gm9984 I think those MAME emulators is a lot more complicated than it should be to get it up and running; same with Retroarch. The complexity might come from the amount of arcades it supports; so I generally find that TH-cam setup guides help with it. And once setup, there isn't much that needs to be maintained.
@@baysidejrI saw that Sinden licensed the technology in his gun out to that Polymega console, which I guess is pretty close to plug and play emulation. No idea where they are on that though. I ordered my Sinden back in July last year, there has been some delays but it should be coming in the next 6 weeks. Honestly, I just want it for Point Blank 1 & 2. If I had enough space I'd have just bought a CRT to use my G-Con on.
Same here dude I went to a 2 player Terminator 2 machine 1 player's gun was damaged to the point of having a player 1 is out of order sign player 2 barely worked but it still was able to register every 3 shots
There's a huge arcade/bar here and they have gun games and I was so excited to go, but I guess people got too drunk before playing because the guns didn't work right. I was so disappointed.
The arcade bar close to me had a House of the dead 4 barely hanging on until it gave up the ghost recently. I worked on those as a sub contractor banging out 30 a day as a team. I am surprised it lasted this long with us lot working on building them.
I only intended to skim this video and check the conclusion, but I watched the whole thing because of how thoroughly you showed the setup which was really interesting and informative. This was the first of the modern guns I learned about and the method this uses appeals to me more than having a sensor bar. Nice that there are options out there. The recoil is another good option to have, though that's not something I'd want. I wish I could have been there -- not to hang out in the snazzy game room -- as I could have saved you several hours with that lighting problem. I've been dealing with that issue on and off for over a decade as I've had TV remotes that would stop working depending on the lighting conditions. Even the TV backlight can cause problems for things like cable remotes. There was a setting for my TV that helped. It's an older TV. But I understand that frustration of dealing with that. Anyway, a very good video. Too bad about that Windows setup issue. I'm glad I ditched Windows for day-to-day stuff and emulation, though I'll have to look around to see what the Linux setup is like for this. But this looks very cool and I'm glad to see they found a way to make this work on modern TVs.
This is amazing technological progress for the resurgence of retro gaming. I miss playing my light gun games for my master system, hoping that eventually this tech gets sophisticated enough to actually work on old consoles again with these new tvs. Great video, thank you! 😎👍
Support is there for PS1 and PS2 but needs a Pi and Arduino to make it work, there is a plan to sell pre made kit for running the gun on original hardware I believe but no timeframe yet
@@EmmsReality yooo I'm so stoked for VR, been sick a couple months, but once I get those baselines back up I'll be trying out some VR for first time! Thank for reply :D
It's actually not so complicated. I think you only need to "see" the corners of the screen to calculate the aim position. A simple digital cam and a microcontroller can do the job.
Got mine a few months ago as I was an early backer. It will definitely need some more software for the regular public to want. Right now its a great enthusiast product that gets better the more time you invest into it. The Sinden team is aware of the programs limitations and are working on a better Gui so hopefully it just gets better from here on out.
Yes it seems really complicated in this video. Why can't programmers build a simple, intuitive interface? I guess if you're a cyborg it will make perfect sense.
@@1invag And the Sikorsky UH-60 Black Hawk is not much different from the Bell UH-1 Iroquois. But that doesn't mean flying a helicopter is simple and intuitive. It's not a glowing endorsement.
I have been messing with a dolphin bar on my arcade machine, but can't get 2 player working. Do the Sinden guns support 2 player lightgun games for MAME or FBA?
If the quality of everything they’ve done so far is any indicator, they’re very serious about making this the King and my wallet is willing (needing!) to wait until they’ve got a “Me-Proofed” plug & play setup. Until then are their sensor-based alternatives? Hacked Kinect or Wii clones? Preferably multi-console compatible? I know it can be done on CRTs as I had a 3rd party lightgun for Saturn and PlayStation; you just change the included controller port adapters to either system’s plug.
MJR, your videos are always so nice and chill to watch. Nothing screamy or too hyperactive. I love them and they help me through a tough time in my life. Keep it up 💪 much love
Man you guys are amazing. I would've been frustrated! I was also so psyched to see DMP back in action on your channel. He just brings such a entertaining part and is super awesome.
Have you put significant hours in them? I'm really hoping they're built to last and that there's no longevity issues with the force feedback or anything. Really hoping they nailed these aspects, because the product just looks amazing and has been something I've wanted for years.
@@infasis I haven’t put in significant hours no, but the build quality certainly seems built to last. It feels much more solid than say an NES zapper, and those have survived this long
@@infasis pretty happy with with mine. Very solid shell. Trigger mod might be recommended to reduce travel. Not done it myself. solenoid is a little undervolted and I would say on usb power it is not pushed very hard at all. Actually that's a bit of an issue. Recoil is a bit wet if abused as there's not enough power to it.
As a clumsy man before I screwed on the holsters to my arcade machine I managed to knock one of mine off my cab. After a 6 foot drop there was no damage and the alignment of the camera was still the same.
Glad you covered this one!! I got 2 of these and they are awesome!! (when you get them to work). Definitely will need to tweak and tweak again from game to game. I have also yet to get this to work on my flat screen CRT. I have not reached out to their support team yet but am pretty sure it's able to work with any CRT as well. All in all, this is the best product on the market to play light gun games imo.
Got mine two months ago and they are great, thankfully you can setup presets so only need to do the tweaks once for each game. Someone also made a nice preloader. Kind of wish I did the upgrade for the feedback but the price was hard to swallow at the time.
With crosshairs on can create impression of lack of sensitivity in MAME, turn it off as the crosshair often cannot keep up with the gun. But get the preference :)
@@MetalJesusRocks just wanna let you know I'm getting comment spam replies on your channel claiming to be a giveaway winner, maybe you can setup a filter or something. It's usually buy some guy using your name but also includes "text me on Telegram"
Thank you for creating this video, I ordered mines the other day before seeing this. They should arrive in april, just in time to build a cheap computer and have all the roms ready! Can't wait!
Here's what I don't understand. The IR guns like the Amtrak, have cursor lag. Nobody has fixed the problem until Sinden came along and does it by camera instead of IR, but it's so complicated to tweak. You're always having to adjust something depending on what emulator and games. However I'll be dammed I can buy an LG tv. Use the Magic Remote, which operates a cursor on a screen. Point and click on any damn thing on that TV. There no lag, drag or camera. It works spot on.
Jak and Daxter: the precursor legacy. It looks like everyone has hysteria about this game lately. Am working on platinum this baby on ps Vita, what a game❤️
I had issue with my order and within next day it was resolved. Their communication / support is above and beyond . Bravo to them. As for the mister project, I've read online those are his next project to tackle after all his drivers, software and logistics shipment is taken care of. Anyone has issue with ultrawide monitor setup.? I am trying to make it work with my 34 inch ultrawide. Great video btw. Thanks.
As a prop maker and designer I have an extreme want to give this boring, plain gun an awesome custom paint job! Both of these guys' collections deserve it.
Great to see Paul again! I know I'm not the only person thinking this could be a better product if a bigger company did run with this idea. I hope if it ever goes there that Sinden's creator gets to cash out on it
It’s a similar process for steering wheels, each Mame game can need differing approaches, plus each emulator expects different inputs too. However, it’s definitely worth the effort, when you play with a wheel or a light gun, it’s difficult going back to a joypad. 👏🏻
I started my own collection after watching your videos almost 2 years ago 🤘 I love my lightgun games ! Brought a 38inch crt tv last year to play them all again lol ps1 games & ps2 games but also had to get house of the dead 3 for my xbox original 🤘 pure nostalgia
Saturday morning coffee with Metal Jesus is a tradition and the sun is shining today! Reminds me of getting up for Saturday morning cartoons as a kid haha! Thank you for all your hard work during the pandemic, you've helped many ppl!
I find the wii bar is like dragging a cursor around the screen. This is 100 times better. You can even move around the room and the aim is spot on. That is a major drawback of the wii bar.
I wonder if having the TV against a solid dark color might've worked with the lights on (except perhaps that light string along the bottom). It looked like it was locking onto the borders around your brick wall occasionally in the test screen, as all it does is look for a white rectangle not necessarily the one on screen. I wonder if software could filter it out by flickering the border on a the display briefly if it gets a really off detection, but that would probably be annoying to some users.
It's also good to note that on the Sinden Wiki, there are borders with artwork on the sides that work really well for wide screen tvs for the games. Makes it look polished
There are four TH-camrs that I watch religiously and you are one of them. I absolutely love your content. Don't ever stop. My life would be boring without your stuff. :)
7:00 Ouch! That's a massive problem for people that may only have one computer and rely on Bluetooth devices. Glad I watched this. Definitely something to look into further and keep tabs on.
This is such an ingenious way to be able to use light guns on modern tvs. I'm actually surprised other companies haven't already figured this out and made their own.
I had a long chat with Andy Sinden at Play Expo Blackpool last year. He had a couple of demo units on the go. He's such a nice guy and the product is great, it just works. The Recoil model is rather heavy though, and after 10 minutes of furious Virtua Cop action i definitely felt the weight!
This is awesome. I want one of these for my Batocera PC in the family room. I was looking at my Namco light gun for my PS2, got all nostalgic and realised I need to set the old dinosaur crt up to use it. I'm one of those people that actually prefers emulation to original, the crisp high res graphics just appeals to me, especially as I'm a PC gamer the majority of the time.
Looks good. I remember hearing about this a few times and hoped it would live up to the promises. Im sure the configurations will get easier over time too.
While I've played a few Light Gun games myself in arcades when I was a kid, the hay day of the Light Gun era was a little before my time. But I completely understand the significance of technology like this. LG games were a popular genre in the days of yore, and I'm sure there were a lot of gamers and collectors who were worried about it being limited by the hardware which is becoming increasingly harder to find. So this was really cool to see. It could help push old LG games into the future! Great video MJR and DMP!
I've had mine for a long time. The only problem I had with mine, was that it didn't like my PC's front USB. Once plugged into the back, it was fine. It's been great ever since!
10:14 When the room lighting was messing with the tracking, I think you can tweak the color of the border so the gun can pick up on that color instead of whatever color the ambient lighting of the room is.
Very timely video, I just got my pair of Sinden guns in the mail yesterday. I am going try them with my home arcade cabinet this weekend and will also be using them with Muster.
Awesome video guys! If you haven't tried it, House of the Dead 4 on PS3 with the Move Controllers and the SharpShooter accessory on a large TV is pretty awesome as well! You get the shot-gun reload mechanic and vibration (not as good as dedicated recoil, but cool nonetheless) making it pretty immersive (especially fun in coop!)
I watched the guy who made this thing develope it... It was really quite the process. Best part is it came from a gamer in his game room that just really wanted to play his light gun games. Just a good simple normal guy. I'm happy he actually got this thing to market. I hope he's making doing well with it. 💵
Needs good lumens and bear in mind you need to be able to stand far enough back 1.5 - 2x the size of the screen which depending on your room might be a problem
Would love to play the great lightgun games of the 90th and 2000th from SEGA, Namco and Capcom again, but not willing to bother myself with a big and heavy crt tv anymore. So this gun seems to be perfect. And hope this new technology will be a big success. Great video!
I have 2 recoild Sinden Light guns having backed the initial kickstarter. You can also use them with the raspberry pi and they work very well. I came to the same conclusion that you need to do a lot of setting changes to get it working properly. Perhaps you could do a more in depth video of what settings to change and how to get at them.
I wish this would have the option to be modular, so you can put it into a optional rifle, shotgun or whatever shell. Battery driven for the non-recoil version would be great, too. I play this with friends and most of the time we are drunk while we play lightgun shooters and i can tell by experience those cables can get you in trouble. I had to screw an usb adaptor to the wall next to my pc, so the cable would unplug from that cheap extension instead of fucking up my mainboards usb connectors when somebody is stumbling on it.... AGAIN
I was stoked about this for my PS1Digital until I read all the additional hardware and setup required to do so. I hope it evolves into something much more end-user friendly someday for use with OG hardware with HDMI mods (since the HDMI mods can add the border).
1984 child here. Was collecting light guns prior to getting into PSVR Quest and PCVR. Yeah I don’t see myself playing those classics again. Maybe a few times before I die lol.
I ordered my Sinden light guns 10 months ago and they’re supposed to be here today! Pretty awesome this video comes out on the same day too.

You can still get arcade light guns fairly easily. What's special about guns like this is that they work on modern displays.

Great to see DMP. The man, the myth, the legend. And so soon after we had a Reggie appearance! I’m liking this trend :D
Finally got my 2 guns. Man what a chore to setup… these things are not for the weak and weary,but its worth the trouble…they are awesome
I wonder if having the TV against a solid dark color might've worked with the lights on (except perhaps that light string along the bottom). It looked like it was locking onto the borders around your brick wall occasionally in the test screen, as all it does is look for a white rectangle not necessarily the one on screen. I wonder if software could filter it out by flickering the border on a the display briefly if it gets a really off detection, but that would probably be annoying to some users.
It's also good to note that on the Sinden Wiki, there are borders with artwork on the sides that work really well for wide screen tvs for the games. Makes it look polished
There are four TH-camrs that I watch religiously and you are one of them. I absolutely love your content. Don't ever stop. My life would be boring without your stuff. :)
Mine is set to be manufactured next week. Been waiting almost a year. So pumped.
7:00 Ouch! That's a massive problem for people that may only have one computer and rely on Bluetooth devices. Glad I watched this. Definitely something to look into further and keep tabs on.
This is such an ingenious way to be able to use light guns on modern tvs. I'm actually surprised other companies haven't already figured this out and made their own.
The idea to make it work they came up with is actually really interesting, there’s so much room to improve here.
Thanks for sharing all the challenges in setting up this light gun.
I had a long chat with Andy Sinden at Play Expo Blackpool last year. He had a couple of demo units on the go. He's such a nice guy and the product is great, it just works. The Recoil model is rather heavy though, and after 10 minutes of furious Virtua Cop action i definitely felt the weight!
Thanks for the thorough video and it's always great to see Paul back.
This is awesome. I want one of these for my Batocera PC in the family room. I was looking at my Namco light gun for my PS2, got all nostalgic and realised I need to set the old dinosaur crt up to use it. I'm one of those people that actually prefers emulation to original, the crisp high res graphics just appeals to me, especially as I'm a PC gamer the majority of the time.
That’s seriously impressive!! What an awesome setup holy cow!
Looks good. I remember hearing about this a few times and hoped it would live up to the promises. Im sure the configurations will get easier over time too.
Awesome! Would love to see some modern lightgun games! It's about time!
MVG and My Life in Gaming need to get their hands on this. They are pretty technical and could help run it thru and set it up with MiSTer
Amazing! Good to see DMP again. Glad to see you guys together again, talking games 😊
While I've played a few Light Gun games myself in arcades when I was a kid, the hay day of the Light Gun era was a little before my time. But I completely understand the significance of technology like this. LG games were a popular genre in the days of yore, and I'm sure there were a lot of gamers and collectors who were worried about it being limited by the hardware which is becoming increasingly harder to find. So this was really cool to see. It could help push old LG games into the future! Great video MJR and DMP!
That is a great product. I would love to see that thing come together to work on any tv.
Hi yall! Thanks for the great videos☺
Thanks for watching!
Some nice detail in your explanation, thanks for that. Ive just ordered one so very useful
I've missed vids with MJR and Drunken Master Paul so much! Love you guys
To start I’m gunna say I’m running this on PC
*closes video*
The hunt for a decent CRT continues
I've had mine for a long time. The only problem I had with mine, was that it didn't like my PC's front USB. Once plugged into the back, it was fine. It's been great ever since!
10:14 When the room lighting was messing with the tracking, I think you can tweak the color of the border so the gun can pick up on that color instead of whatever color the ambient lighting of the room is.
Like is not enough! We need a LOVE button for DMP episodes!!
Very timely video, I just got my pair of Sinden guns in the mail yesterday. I am going try them with my home arcade cabinet this weekend and will also be using them with Muster.
Awesome video guys! If you haven't tried it, House of the Dead 4 on PS3 with the Move Controllers and the SharpShooter accessory on a large TV is pretty awesome as well! You get the shot-gun reload mechanic and vibration (not as good as dedicated recoil, but cool nonetheless) making it pretty immersive (especially fun in coop!)
Hey, there! Is it possible to make the original PS3 Motion Controller (I can't remember the name) work on a regular PC monitor?
Nostalgia overload! I put so much money into time crisis and point blank back in the day.
I tried this light gun last week at CES 2022. It is LEGIT!
I backed this during development... Took forever to get it, but man was it worth it!
I watched the guy who made this thing develope it... It was really quite the process. Best part is it came from a gamer in his game room that just really wanted to play his light gun games. Just a good simple normal guy. I'm happy he actually got this thing to market. I hope he's making doing well with it. 💵
That looks great, thanks for showcasing this. My question is, does it work on projector setups?
We haven't tried it yet...but I think it might. They do say you need to have a 60hz refresh rate, so not sure how that affects a projector?!
Needs good lumens and bear in mind you need to be able to stand far enough back 1.5 - 2x the size of the screen which depending on your room might be a problem
Would love to play the great lightgun games of the 90th and 2000th from SEGA, Namco and Capcom again, but not willing to bother myself with a big and heavy crt tv anymore. So this gun seems to be perfect. And hope this new technology will be a big success. Great video!
Great overview! I'd too love this to eventually become compatible with the MiSTer.
You and me both!
we miss you drunken master Paul, this brings back memories of metal jesus building his first arcade machine
Your contact is extremely underrated on TH-cam
Another early video upload let’s go 🙌🏾🔥
I've always appreciated drunken master Paul's enthusiasm!!
I was the most excited kid for the super scope, there was nobody else who was more stoked; before stoked was in my vocab
When you wanna upgrade at 6700 you can put an 9700 in it like I did. Just need some conductive tape and some insulating tape
So have we now got the tech for playing playstation gun games on a monitor yet
Nice to get your take on this MJR. I especially liked the fact that you ran it on your MAME cabinet and on a big screen TV.
Glad you enjoyed it!
This makes me miss my old Guncon 3 for Time Crisis 4 on PS3. I loved going to the movie Theater to play these light gun games.
So great to see Master Paul back in action. Great stuff as always!
Thank you kindly!
i would love to see more gameplay of this of you two playing co op
I have 2 recoild Sinden Light guns having backed the initial kickstarter. You can also use them with the raspberry pi and they work very well. I came to the same conclusion that you need to do a lot of setting changes to get it working properly. Perhaps you could do a more in depth video of what settings to change and how to get at them.
same bro, these are not plug and play its pretty irritating honestly
I wish this would have the option to be modular, so you can put it into a optional rifle, shotgun or whatever shell. Battery driven for the non-recoil version would be great, too.
I play this with friends and most of the time we are drunk while we play lightgun shooters and i can tell by experience those cables can get you in trouble. I had to screw an usb adaptor
to the wall next to my pc, so the cable would unplug from that cheap extension instead of fucking up my mainboards usb connectors when somebody is stumbling on it.... AGAIN
I was stoked about this for my PS1Digital until I read all the additional hardware and setup required to do so. I hope it evolves into something much more end-user friendly someday for use with OG hardware with HDMI mods (since the HDMI mods can add the border).
This is a very ambitious project, fo sho...🤘🏼💯✔️
As soon as you showed the "show raw video" window I started thinking of all of the funny things I could do with this as a webcam 😂
That thumbnail though....you should be the next Bond in 007...
I'm starting a petition.
Your thumbnail game is 10/10!
DMP IS BACK!! More of this MJ, more of thisss
1984 child here. Was collecting light guns prior to getting into PSVR Quest and PCVR.
Yeah I don’t see myself playing those classics again. Maybe a few times before I die lol.
