  • Click on the I/O tab and change all the related settings following this picture:
  • Click on the Save button, load a game, and verify if the Lightgun works properly. Make sure you are using the Windowed Fullscreen mode (use Alt+Enter).
  • Start the Sinden Lightgun software, and change the following settings in the Button Assignment tab:
    • Pump Action = Mouse's Right Button (MouseRight)
    • Trigger = Mouse's Left Button (MouseLeft)

  • Cross Button (X): Right mouse button
  • Triangle Button (△): Left+Right+Middle mouse buttons

Alternate AHK Example

Some people have had issues getting past the calibration screen for Time Crisis 4, Razing Storm and Dead Storm Pirates, using the example AHK in Titch's video. Here's a slightly different version that has worked for others (thanks to ActionOnion for providing this). When calibrating and you're happy with it press return, then space to go back to the menu and start the actual game.

 #NoEnv  ; Recommended for performance and compatibility with future AutoHotkey releases.
 SendMode Input  ; Recommended for new scripts due to its superior speed and reliability.
