In this video we’re going to check out the 128gb Batocera PC Bootable Light Gun Image from Retro Lizard. This image is being presented as a true plug and play image for use with your Sinden light guns. It also states it works as a plug and play image for Gun4IR, but we will be covering Gun4IR in another video coming soon.
This image is SINGLE PLAYER ONLY so keep that in mind, it will only work with 1 Sinden Gun. This is true
As of 7/27/23, if anything changes, I will provide an update ASAP.
The image contains over 128 popular light gun games such as House of the Dead, Operation Wolf, Terminator 2, Area 51, Virtua Cop, Lethal Enforcers, Time Crisis and many more!

Hand-raise here for “excited for Sinden -> got my Sinden -> played Time Crisis for 90 minutes after infinity-minutes (!) of setup -> Sinden idle for a month+ now” camp. Thanks for this!

I can't tell you how long I spent making AHK files, converting to exe's trying to get everything automated, then I double click and it does something funky with the resolution and falls over. It's super frustrating.

@vintagecapgunsatyourmomshouse 11 месяцев назад

I hear that frustration. I get it when you can't figure out what stupid little variable is fucking uo your workflow or play flow.

@Yamsek 11 месяцев назад

I don’t understand having zero compatibility for consoles. I followed Sinden nearly a year before recognizing he had no intention of supporting the industry was all love. Aka if it can only used for emulation your supporting game theft. While I admit the game theft ship has pretty much sailed, my assumption was he would cater to the massive console sales audience vs the much smaller emulation crowd. You all of course connect the dots here I hope - look what happened to the music industry….

@MrSkerpentine 10 месяцев назад

@@YamsekWell to be fair, light gun games aren’t really *made* for anything other than arcades anymore, not really since the PS3 era. I’ve barely seen any *ports* of older titles, let alone newer material. Closest I can remember was the House of the Dead remake and like…two NES Zapper games getting put on the Virtual Console section of the Wii U eShop, which has since closed down. I would absolutely love to see more devs give making new home or pc light gun games a shot, especially indie developers! I know the Enter the Gungeon devs released a light gun spin-off recently, but again, it’s arcade-exclusive. I guess we can only hope for now.

@Yamsek 10 месяцев назад

@@MrSkerpentine My son showed little interest in my nostalgic light gun games, sadly. The Quest 2 VR will blow your doors off with a shooter experience, so the younger crowd is not as thrilled. HOWEVER the Quest is a solitary experience, vs the ‘party’ or guest fun of an old school shooter. IE those in the room cant share in your journey. It will cast to a tv for room spectators but makes the game play drag drastically

@andygregory251 11 месяцев назад

Interesting stuff Ralph. I would just say that in defence of the mini pc, they run on a low power level compared to pcs so activating the recoil probably finished it off power wise! Also a lot of the issues with sindens and emulators are with getting the second gun working. I wonder how the image handles 2 sindens simultaneously?

@herbderb8081 11 месяцев назад

The problem you were experiencing after toggling recoil seems like a USB power issue. I’ll be trying out the image this weekend on a couple of Minisforum systems. I’ve got Sinden and Gun4IR guns, so I’ll be trying both. This will be great if it works.

@user-pi6cs3ue4s 11 месяцев назад

My sinden setup is currently fantastic but took ages to get it to exactly where I wanted. Getting the barebones Pi4 image working on tv and projector was pretty easy, and probably another good place to start for people, but it wasn't until the latest software update that I was able to mess around to get my TV / Windows setup dialled in. Its a fairly technical endeavour.

@robertlee6999 11 месяцев назад

Think I tried a similar sinden image on a steam deck a few months back which worked fine 1 player. Once you plugged in player 2 the crosshairs would go crazy.

@TTERally 11 месяцев назад

Funny story... And great timing.... I stumbled upon the existence of this batocera build just last week when I was researching what dual boot setups i could experiment with on a Atari VCS (I just purchased last week on clearance... for experimenting around on playing around with what i can get it to do).. Just brushed off the dust of my sindens 2 days ago .. to get prepared to mess around.. And then you do this video.. What great timing!! JJ from OZ 😉.. Ps..what I'm interested in most is if I can get both my sinden guns to work with this setup. If he Atari VCS fails me...🤣. Then I'll try it on my Intel NUC i7 🤞

@RetroRalph 11 месяцев назад

@mikehough482 11 месяцев назад

Great video Ralph. When I got my Sinden's a couple years ago, I configured my own Ubuntu Linux/RetroPieX86 setup that works well, but it was a TON of work. I need to try this Batocera image to see what it does that I'm missing in mine (probably a lot). A couple things I figured I'd chime in on: - you can actually burn the image to a portable USB thumb drive and then tell the PC bios to boot from USB. Much easier than opening the PC up, and very little noticeable performance difference in my experience - Jurassic Park doesn't work well on my setup either. I think it has something to do with the emulator (MAME), and not the Sinden or the rest of the build - Any idea what version of MAME the lightgun games are using? - I need to find a 4:3 Batocera theme so this will work in my arcade cabinet monitor

@BusyAir 11 месяцев назад

The frustration of the Sindens comes from some titles working plug-n-play while others force you to jump through the hoops. The biggest variable with the issue you were having is the GPU and how it will handle the interrupt requests vs a dedicated GPU. I've been trying to setup Sindens on a projector, so that's been an additional layer of complexity. Totally worth the frustration. Your vids have been a nice distraction, though. :)

@adamchace 6 месяцев назад

Thinking of a projector install myself, how did this work out? I have a 100" screen, wondering if it'll be successful.

@snugglesmagee33 11 месяцев назад

Thanks for doing this video! I'm also a Sinden user and have been disappointed with the set-up process. I have been able to get arcade versions of House of the Dead, the Virtua Cops, and a few others to work fine but the two games i wanted to play the most - Carnevil and The Lost World - I haven't been able to figure out.

@T0TALLYAWESOMEGUY 11 месяцев назад

This isn't just an issue with Sinden. Setting up any custom config on Windows seems to break with OS and software updates unexpectedly. It's making windows really hard to have a stable setup on. I'd recommend a bootable USB with batocera and updates disabled. So it'll always work!

@robross6462 11 месяцев назад

Thanks for the videos but in comparison for 200+ bucks. Do you think a Wii remote with the sensor and gun is a better budget solution?

@misterkeebler 11 месяцев назад

Thanks for sharing. Coincidentally when i got my sindens, the only emulator i happened to set up is the M2emulator for emulating AM2 titles like the virtua cops, hotd1, LA Machinguns, and one other i forget. By the time i finished, i didnt feel like messing with MAME so i just didnt bother. So this type of image would be helpful for me, though it looks like some light calibration is still required for some titles. For your disconnecting issues, i recall there being issues with USB hubs both powered and unpowered and especially with the recoil models due to the solenoid needing power. Its recommended to go directly into a usb on the desktop. So maybe the mini pc's usb ports just dont have enough juice to power the sindens?

@Jaysause Месяц назад

@TomAHawk-py6vj 8 месяцев назад

Judging on the usb connection problems you mentioned, maybe an external powered usb hub would have helped. It worked on the dell, so the gun itself is fine. The software is also the same on both. GPU shouldn't matter, because the Sinden tracks the white border and there was a clean pictute when you had the problems. So I guess maybe the pc's usb controller got toasted by solenoid power draw.
