Great video! I have to add some info tho; I made both the software, and also the whole hardware. Beside his wireless LEDs, Ray is basically using my hardware schematics and design. He is one of my official modder/reseller, and he is very good at it. But he isn't the creator of it.
Thanks for the update. I certainly want to highlight what you have built and acknowledge your efforts. Looking forward to your future hardware/software updates for GUN4IR. We finally have the retro lightgun game play we've always wanted.
I've built 2 different GUN4IR light guns and they work perfectly with MAME. No software running in the background, no scripts, no white border, etc. The IR LEDs around my monitor are barely noticeable in my cabinet, so not a big deal and they're highly accurate. Not too hard to build if you have a little soldering experience. My biggest problem was getting the camera properly mounted and attaching the wide angle lens to it.
Being able to map 4 possible GUN4IR id's in MAME makes it so very plug in play. I really like the GUN4IRs. Did you make your own lens or get it from Ray? Those 3D printed fish eye lenses fit nice a snug.
@@kaaihue1 You don't need Demulshooter with Teknoparrot. Just go into game settings, change it to RAW input mode, then go to controller settings and start clicking the buttons you want to map for your guns to the different player options.
@@IntegrumRetro The Sinden and Gun4ir made the Aimtrak and wiimote (For those who can put the money down for a proper PC lightgun controller) obsolete. I use a wiimote with dolphin bar sometimes cause I already have a wiimote and gun attachment, and the Sinden and Gun4ir are out of my budget at the moment. I can imagine the wiimote can be more accurate if the sensor bar was bigger or adjustable like the Guncon 3. Also, It would be: "or are you tired of guns with poor accuracy?" for the wiimote or aimtrack.
Don’t like the white border ? .. well have some ugly sensors instead!! Funny :) hows it go running two guns at the same time. With no software, batch files or scripts required to play all gun games ?
I've suggested to Ray he mount the LED's sideways so they can hide better in the dark bezel area's of the cabinets. He's also working on a slimmer version so it will blend better with the cabinet. But two guns at once is super fun, but amazingly difficult since you don't really aim, you just spray and pray. Once you've hard coded the gun ID's into a mame controler file or retroarch config, it's done. I spent very little time on this compared to the prep needed for the Sindens and all the batch files to get the software running before those games started.
I might be missing something in the batch file, script comment, arent those required for any light gun game? From what i can tell on sindens wikipedia its just launching the games through a batch file, like any light gun game would?
@@IntegrumRetro yeah just was wondering about the script comment? I assumed the boarder comes on with a button press? Although i read you need reshade for some emus which sucks
@@montys8237 Yes, reshade for Sega Model 2 for sure. Also, the border is "supposed" to come on with a button press, but it doesn't always work and you have to go into the Sinden software to reset it, it's not consistent. Then you need two instances of the software running, one for each gun, thus it's best to script the startup/shutdown of the scripts. If you don't, any bit of light picked up by the guns will move your mouse cursor around when you aren't playing light gun games. This doesn't happen with GUN4IR because no mouse movement occurs unless it can see at least 3 IR lights.
My biggest struggle is how it was inconsistent during sunny days since I had so many windows in the room of my arcade. Now that I've moved and have a basement I don't struggle with "time of day" issues.
Awesome video but you forgot the "But wait there's more" and "If you call in the next 15 minutes"
Haha, I knew I forgot something! We need an upsell item, like holsters for $19.99, 5-6 week delivery. :)
Excellent too funny but true! I love mine too. Wish I had opted for recoil now. Thanks!
Don't worry I'll make a video on how to solder and install soon. 😃
Great video!

LOLOL awesome informercial
What was the game you were playing at the 1 minute mark? That looks like a fun game
That game was "Mad Bullets" you can download it from Steam.
This video is hilarious and awesome!
Talk about a side track, I wanted to do a setup/how-to video and it turned into this. I'll be more serious next time. lol
@@IntegrumRetro this was perfect! You nailed the biggest defect of the “other gun”
Any way you can make a video on Demulshooter? I made 2 Gun4ir guns, but can't get 2 player games to work right. Thanks!
Which games are you having issues with? I was looking to make a light gun video here soon to show off some recent work.
@@IntegrumRetro any of the teknoparrot games. Not getting how to make the demulshooter to work… Thanks!

Still can’t get my sinden gun to work properly
It's improving, but I've moved over to GIN4IR as my daily shooter.
@@IntegrumRetro do you still have to install software
You didn't take the time to take a jab at Aimtrak and Wiimote/Dolphin bar for inaccuracy.
Didn't want to make the video too long. :) I hope people aren't still buying Aimtracks

I miss b12 trading :(
There is a story behind that, unfortunately, but I'm still active in that area.

😂😂🤣 $500 I’ll buy a Sinden Lightgun before I pay 500 an the Sinden don’t need sensors like this gun does
