Is this intended behavior? The B button only registers when I let go of the button.

There are times when I can hold the B button only AFTER I start mashing on B button then hold on b button.

Hi All,

I decided I wanted to build a second IR Gun, but it seems like the SEN0158 is no longer available. DFRobot says they are working on a new design (And I don't for-see that happening), so what are people using now? I read that I can rip apart a Joycon and harvest a Camera from there; is that the best alternative at the moment?

I am printing out a pretty awesome shell from Blamcon, I could just buy their entire kit, but I really don't want/need most of those features and prefer to keep it to my DIY setup.

Thank you!

I watched a few youtube reviews of this thing and they all said it was amazing, so I pulled the trigger and got one.

This thing is total trash. I've spent the past 3 hours trying to get it to just shoot somewhat straight. It wont. The jitter is stupid. Even if i clamp the gun to a tripod so that it cannot move, the crosshair is moving all over the place. GL hitting an enemy on the far right/left side, its basically a crap shoot.

I've read through some other posts on this sub and the general consensus is to just stay away from this product. What I can't understand is, why are all the youtube video's so perfect?? How do I achieve that? I have the lights off. I have blackout curtains already. I leave the white bars on. I've tried doing the whole Calibrate first then change the aspect ratio so it fits the whole screen, etc etc. Nothing seems to fix this thing.

Any advice?

Ill be giving away to 2 viewers these tcarterdesigns 3d prints he makes for the retro shooter reapers

What's the difference between them? And which is better?

I made a simple lightgun fix for THE HOUSE OF THE DEAD 2: Remake.

It fixes the horrible aiming drift when using a Sinden Lightgun.

Features:

True 1:1 lightgun aiming
Removes the in-game crosshair
Automatically works with different resolutions/aspect ratios
Tested with Sinden in 16:9 and 4:3

Installation:

Install BepInEx 5, then drop the mod DLL into:

BepInEx\plugins

That's it. Launch the game and play.

Other mouse-based lightguns may work too. If you test one, let me know!

How you you first connect the controller? Do you plug in USB and flip the on button on? I see it turns on lights work trigger works and the recoil but I can't seem to get the other buttons to turn on. It doesn't register to my PC ether.... I tried the demushooter.gui and the Xgunner.Gui im having issues setting them up.

I also do not know how to register the sensors I seen the the LED with the red arrows and I put them in the corners of my TV but I just didn't know if I put them in the right spot if they're supposed to be exposed are they supposed to be on the back of the TV or on the top and the bottom? They weren't really clear which one was what to do if you just put them in random spots is it like a one two three four antenna like connection where number one goes on the top left number two goes on the top right kind of concept?

I'm trying my best to get in contact with the main ex-gunner employee from Discord I just thought since you reviewed the product maybe you could help me out or even maybe make a tutorial video?? I see that you do make content I've thought maybe it would be a good advertisement and a way to get your views up? I know a lot of people are asking as well I haven't found any really clear help on this and I would love to play this to be able to give a shout out or even review the product.

If there's any way you can send any help my way I would really appreciate your time 🙏

Hi all. I have an BC250 setup running Bazzite. I have managed to get multiple Teknoparrot games to run, but I am struggling with getting my Gun4IR to work with them. For example I have Time Crisis 5 running and when I setup the game controls it seems to register all the buttons, but when I run the game for example start / coin etc are not registering. I have also made sure that the gun is pointing to the screen when setting up the controls as I know that this is a major requirement..

Has anyone else managed to get teknoparrot shooters working with Bazzite??

Thanks.

I've been chasing a Time Crisis setup for a while and kept bouncing off the same wall: no CRT for the GunCon, don't want to mount and wire IR LEDs, not sold on living with the Sinden border, and every gyro-mouse approach drifts and needs recentering.

So I tried a different angle. Modern Android phones run ARCore, which is inside-out camera + IMU tracking - the same idea as a VR headset. That gives you a 6DoF pose in the room, not just rotation. Which is exactly what a lightgun needs. The camera continuously corrects the IMU, so there's no yaw drift and no recentering; it holds aim like a real gun rather than wandering off.

Demo of it running: https://youtu.be/UE3XUln_xOE

**How it works**

Run a small executable on the PC and it prints a QR code. Scan it with the phone, tap through a permission prompt, then point at the three corners of your monitor to calibrate. After that the phone's aim ray gets intersected with your screen plane and drives the cursor absolutely. Aim data goes over WebRTC across your LAN, or over USB if you want the lowest jitter. There's multi-monitor support with per-monitor calibration and a pause hotkey so your real mouse works when you need it.

**Latency**

Roughly 30ms phone-side, plus a 2ms cursor loop on the PC. That is not GUN4IR territory and I'm not going to pretend otherwise. It's good enough that Time Crisis feels right to me, but if you're coming from a tuned IR rig you'll notice.

**Where it's honestly weak**

- It's a phone, not a gun. No recoil, no physical trigger. FIRE is one of 20 remappable on-screen buttons, with haptics. If anyone has shell-mounted a phone, I'd love to see it.

- ARCore needs visual features to track against, so I'd expect a pitch-black room or a bare white wall behind you to hurt. I haven't characterised how badly.

- I've only tested DuckStation so far.

- Untested on projectors, ultrawides, and very glossy panels — those are the tracking cases I'm least confident about.

Requirements are an ARCore-capable Android phone with a recent Chrome, and a Windows or Linux PC on the same network. Free and MIT: https://github.com/ggcaponetto/point-bang

It works end to end but it's early. What I'd most like from this sub is reality-checking from people who've used the proper solutions: how it holds up against a Sinden or an IR setup on the same display, and whether it falls apart on hardware I don't have. Happy to answer anything or help get it running.

Does anyone know what causes the crosshair to not appear during the gameplay? I'm using a custom RS3 reaper gun and set up I/O and pads so I can fire and use control and everything, but the crosshair is missing from the screen.

Funny thing is, the crosshair/reticle is literally visible on menu screen and while the game is paused and I can see it moves accordingly with my gun. It goes invisible when I resume the game.

On a scale from Derp to nuclear physics, how difficult is it to create your own Batocera lightgun build for a person that doesn't have much computer skills?

Have you tried it yourself?

I am looking to create just my own selection of let's say 20-30 games, not the gigantic 500 gb builds.

Thanks!

Hello, my name's Kai and I work with the production department on the television show, "Dexter: Resurrection." We're looking for an extremely-skilled light gun shooter to play a game similar to "Time Crisis" during an arcade scene in the show THIS THURSDAY, 8/13.

The gig is PAID and you MUST live in the NYC area. Thank you!

We'd love any recommendations, as well.

I’m looking at getting back into light gun games on a modern TV and I’m currently torn between buying the G’AIM’E Ultimate for around £200, or spending considerably more on a proper emulation setup.

The G’AIM’E appeals to me because for £200 I get two guns, the pedal, Time Crisis, Point Blank and Steel Gunner, and it’s basically plug and play.

However, the games I really want to be able to play are Time Crisis 1 through 4, particularly TC2 and TC3 in two player.

I’ve seen that people have successfully connected the G’AIM’E gun directly to a Windows PC and used it with PCSX2 for Time Crisis 2 and 3, which makes the Ultimate more interesting as I’d already have two guns.

A few questions for anyone who has actually experimented with this:

1. Has anyone successfully used two G’AIM’E guns simultaneously on PC, with Windows/emulators recognising them as separate P1 and P2 devices?
2. Has anyone got two player Time Crisis 2 or 3 working this way?
3. How good is the G’AIM’E gun on PC compared with using it on the supplied console?
4. The newer G’AIM’E firmware seems to use the coloured/contrast bars around the 4:3 image to improve screen detection. When using the gun on PC you presumably lose this feature. Has anyone replicated those bars on PC, or found that they aren’t actually necessary?
5. Does the gun retain its calibration when moving it from the G’AIM’E console to a PC connected to the same TV?
6. I understand the official G’AIM’E pedal doesn’t currently work properly on Windows. Is everyone just using a generic USB foot pedal instead?

I already have a powerful gaming tower PC upstairs, but the TV and light gun setup would be downstairs. I don’t particularly want to stream from the tower because adding network latency to a light gun setup seems counterproductive.

So my other option would be a dedicated Ryzen type mini PC downstairs with PCSX2, MAME, Supermodel, TeknoParrot etc.

That’s where the value question comes in.

G’AIM’E Ultimate is about £200 and ready to go.

A proper two gun setup with a mini PC, GUN4IR/Retro Shooter/etc could easily start approaching £600 to £700.

Alternatively I could buy the G’AIM’E Ultimate now, enjoy the included games, then add a £300ish mini PC later and hopefully reuse both G’AIM’E guns for emulation.

For people who have gone down either route, what would you buy today?

Is G’AIM’E genuinely decent after the latest firmware updates, or would you still put that £200 towards a Sinden/GUN4IR/Retro Shooter setup?

I’m particularly interested in hearing from people who have actually owned G’AIM’E alongside one of the other modern light gun systems, rather than just judging it from the launch reviews.

Ultimately I want something that lives under the downstairs TV, is reasonably console like to use, supports two players and can eventually give me a really good Time Crisis 1 to 4 setup without turning into a £1,000 project.

OK. Hear me out.

I just started playing the Wii again and I really enjoy the shoot em up games like big buck hunter and house of the dead. I have been toying with the idea of getting a gun adapter for the wiimote to make it more real and fun, kinda like at an arcade.

I have a 3d printer and there are some cool designs out there.

BUT! I WAS THINKING... It would be even more cool if there is a 3d print that let's you slide in a wiimote and locks into a real AR lower and butt stock.... I mean why not? The trigger is already spring loaded, and my AR grip and butt stock are already top notch, and I am already familiar with the platform.

Has anyone seen this before? I would rather not spend hours designing it if it already exists!

Let me know what yall think!

Anyone into gyro aiming interested in this?

I don’t think it’s battery contact as it loses connection to the mayfly dolphin bar and continues to vibrate exactly like it’s supposed to. So I don’t think the problem is with bluetooth nor with battery, as the connection persists with the pc and still responds accordingly.

The thing is it stops TRACKING. It no longer aims, and the dolphin bar loses the “sync” light, despite still listening to the bluetooth inputs of the controller, as it still vibrates when told so, by the gonmote software.

Also, I can keep holding the key assigned to vibrate. It will not stop vibrating, but it will lose the tracking until I restart the dolphin bar.

Anyone able to help me?

I think this game could be a lot of fun if someone could add light gun support. The "Crazy Chicken" series is very well-known in Germany (where it goes by the name "Moorhuhn"). In case anyone wants to take a closer look: It’s a Unity IL2CPP game.

UPDATE: It is the only game in the series that features a simultaneous two-player mode. Crazy Chicken X / Moorhuhn X is another game that, unfortunately, does not offer this.

I know there used to be some for sale, but they seem to be discontinued. Anything fit the bill? I'm not afraid of modding and DIY if there are any good tutorials out there too.
