Welcome to the Sinden Wiki
This wiki exists due to all the hard work a group of Sinden lightgun users have put in to making lightgun gaming easier for their fellow lightgun users.
If you haven't picked up a Sinden lightgun yet, make sure to check out the official Sinden website where you can purchase a modern lightgun that works directly with newer LCD television screens and doesn't require any additional hardware, such as sensor bars, to function.
Who we are
This wiki is maintained by fellow lightgun enthusiasts and has been created by users, for users. Andy Sinden has provided some resources to help sort out certain issues however this wiki isn't maintained by him or his staff and is created by volunteers like you.
If you want to help out with this wiki or discuss an issue you're having, check out the super friendly people in the Sinden Discord. It's run by many of the same volunteers who've created this wiki and contains tons of tips and tricks plus mods and 3D prints you can use to make your lightgun experience even better.
Classic games you can play with a lightgun
Lightgun games have existed since the early 80's and today there are lots of lightgun compatible games available to us.
These include:
- Steam games such as Blue Estate, Mad Bullets and The House of the Dead: Remake plus many others.
- Arcade emulators using MAME, TeknoParrot and RetroArch.
- Console emulators such as PCSX2 (PS2), Demul (Dreamcast/Naomi), Dolphin (Wii), Duckstation (Playstation), Redream (Dreamcast) plus many more.
- Indie games such as BangBang PewPew, Dead Containment and Touhoo Crisis.
- Itch.io games such as Pixel Crisis, Lighthouse of the Dead and Trigger Happy.
What systems can you play on
Currently, Sindens work well on a Windows PC, Raspberry Pi (we call the Pi images BareBones here) and Linux.
Lightgun compatibility has also been added to Batocera and with proper adapters, can even work on the PS2, with hopefully more original consoles in the future.
Start Here
Just purchased or received your new lightgun and not sure where to start? This is the area for you.
Ideally, most users will want to test and configure their lightguns on a Windows PC first.
It has the most support and newest software and is likely the easiest to setup and diagnose any issues you might be having.
Of course, if you're heading directly to a Pi or a console, we have you covered as well.
If you're already set up and having issues, make sure to check out the Troubleshooting section.
Take a look at your options below and remember that all areas of this wiki can be quickly accessed from the menu options on the left of the screen.
