The Sinden Reloader and Sinden Holster scripts are added as Additional Apps to be run before and after each game in LaunchBox.

The Sinden Reloader closes the Sinden Lightgun software if it is active and relaunches it before the game. The Sinden Holster closes the Sinden Lightgun software if it is active and is run after the game.

The scripts also allow arguments to enable the use of Nomousy or bezels.

This script only works with the Windows Beta 2.05 Sinden Lightgun software. Download Here

Setup Guide

The easiest way to add the scripts as Additional Apps is by using a third-party plugin called (Bulk) Add Additional Applications 2.0. Head to this link and follow the instructions on how to install the plugin for LaunchBox.

Once the plugin is installed, select the games in your library that you would like to add. For example, I'll be adding Additional Apps to the Light Gun Games playlist from the Arcade platform.

After selecting the games in your library you would like to modify, right-click one of the games to bring up the context menu and select Bulk Run Before/After Main Application.

Select Bulk Run Before/After Main Application

Firstly, enter the name Sinden Reloader and then click browse to select the AHK script. Change the filetype filter to All Files (*.*) and then open the AHK script, "Sinden Reloader.ahk". Then enter any arguments you wish to use, listed below, and tick the options Automatically Run Before Main Application and Wait for exit. Check everything is correct and then click OK.

Next, run the Bulk Run Before/After Main Application plugin and enter the name Sinden Holster and then click browse to select the AHK script. Once again, change the filetype filter to All Files (*.*) and then open the AHK script, "Sinden Holster.ahk". If you set any arguments for the "Sinden Reloader.ahk", you will have to set those same arguments here. Tick the option Automatically Run After Main Application and click OK.

Arguments

Note: You will also need to add these arguments to the Sinden Holster script, too!

"-nomousy": Enable nomousy.

"-bezel=[FILEPATH]": Load bezel image from relative or absolute path.
