Sinden Light gun

I thought I made a post on this but can't find it. Anyone got one of these? Wouldn't mind hearing a non promo'd perspective as I don't trust youtubers.

if they could somehow get it t work on Android or consoles, I'd be all over that. As a PC-only solution, though? hmmmmm

Edit: $250 for a single gun with recoil? That's a hard pass. And that's coming from a guy that dropped $650 on an XBox One steering wheel - which at least works on PC as well.

Speaking of steering wheels, why are they so expensive? Back in the PS2 days you could get one for a couple of hundred dollars for Gran Turismo, now they're $650 like you say

They're a shitload better than they used to be, which helps.

I can understand why it's expensive though, it seems a lot but considering I haven't had a accurate light gun since maybe the ps2. The dreamcast madcats one was infuriating that it wasn't accurate and dont think the dreamgun ever got here. If it's as accurate as it appears in the videos I've seen, with recoil it'll be worth it. I was thinking of building a raspberrypi 4 8gb emulator with it so it can run all the newer stuff and hopefully future emulated arcade games well. So yeah to be all in to have a working gun that I can game with on the big screen's gonna be a decent investment but it's been so long since I've had one of these babies at home. It used be one of the first things I'd want to buy with a console so the nostalgia is getting me too.

Don't get me wrong, I absolutely know where you're coming from. Like I said, if it worked on Android TV at least, I'd be all over it. I'm super happy with my ShieldTV and don't see any reason to hook up something else just for a handful of games.

[Froggy]

Ah ok, I get it, I never thought of the Android TV. Right yes in that case your dead on if this thing gets Android support it's a much more attractive proposition.

Alrighty, finally ordered one of these with recoil... now the what appears to be 5 - 6 week wait for it to come from the UK and then the joy of configuration!

And it's actually already in the way so they must have stock now.

You see this works with MiSTer now? I'm slightly more interested...

Yeah saw that this morning. I reckon it's only a matter of time before one of the big ones licenses it for a peripheral.
