Light Gun light Gun Games

[Boo Man]

While it takes a *very* particular version of MAME to run it, I tend to enjoy playing CarnEvil at least once or twice a year on PC.

found a package with rom, chd & Mame0179b_64bit thats preconfigured for lightgun but its 1.5GB!
you sure its worth it?

I mean, I love the game, so it's personal bias xD

I own two Sinden light guns and love them. They're not perfect but I'd say 95% of the time the thing I point the gun at goes bang and falls over. Can't imagine using them without Batocera though, it takes all the guess work out of it.

oh cool! yeah so i hear its easier with Batocera especially if your using two guns apparently its super complicated to get a second gun working otherwise. i saw an endless wall of AHK script for it
seriously contemplating going back to Batocera but ive got BigBox and its really good and i wunna make it work, i think 3/4 of my lightgun games are working perfectly so far.. even wii games work with a bunch of aim hacks. do you have PS2 games working? also does Batocera have its own boarders for sinden or something? its annoying af to setup overlays for a boarder in every emulator.

Batocera automatically puts up borders when it detects a Sinden light gun, handles 2 if they have unique camera ids (need to contact Sinden if that's an issue for you), and works with basically every game I've tried including ps2, wii, and ps3. Recent update I've been having issues with the Daphne games... which I'm not really losing sleep over

wow nice, thats so handy. i have to use a stupid reshader program on emulators if they dont have their own overlays & right now its refusing to work on Sega Model 3/supermodel
i think Batocera is the way to go.. until other frontends catch up
i just dont like the fact is runs on another OS

The only thing Batocera doesn't do currently is Teknoparrot games. Honestly Batocera has spoiled me so badly it's made me a Linux snob, I built a batocera mini pc for my youngest sister with 2tb of games, and I want to do something similar for myself but with a beefier rig and 8tb of internal storage.

The only light gun games I played where at the arcades, games like HotD 2 and 4 being my favourite, but I rarely go to the arcades nowdays for multiple reasons and when I do, I dont see the machines anymore...
On another note, I do remember my dad buying one of those PS3 Move Guns, something like this:

It was awful to play with lol.
