'''PLEASE NOTE: This option for borders is experimental. If you use this option and find any issues let us know in the Sinden Lightgun discord server.'''

Riva Tuner Statistics Server (RTSS) is a piece of software used by other apps (for example MSI Afterburner) to display game information like FPS, GPU and CPU usage and temperatures, etc, on top of the game window.

We can also use it to display borders for the Sinden Lightgun, and this solution works with 99% of games and emulators just by having RTSS running in the background.

== Prerequisites ==
If you have MSI Afterburner and you use it currently to show FPS/GPU usage/etc, you need to disable all the "Show in On-screen Display" toggles in the Monitoring tab of the settings.

== How to use RTSS for Sinden Borders ==

# Download Rivatuner Statistics Server 7.3.3 Final form [https://www.guru3d.com/files-details/rtss-rivatuner-statistics-server-download.html Guru3D]. [[File:Guru3D.png|frameless|500x500px]]
# Unzip and install ( If the installation says Server is currently active, you already have RTSS).
# Download the [https://mega.nz/file/iQVxVIKC#_y1zblwrCWbIFoqWv6skHd22jCSTsnie5_VsWgrZuVE RTSS overlay pack (beta)].
# Extract the Overlay pack. You will see a few PNG and OVL files.
# Open the Overlays folder. The default path is: '''C:\Program File (x86)\RivaTuner Statistics Server\Plugins\Client\Overlays''' .
# Copy the RTSS Overlay pack PNG and OVL files here. You will need Administrator rights to copy files to this folder..
# Start '''Rivatuner Statistics Server''' from the Windows '''Start Menu'''. [[File:RTSS Start.png|frameless]]
# Click on the Rivatuner '''icon''' in the systray (bottom right of the screen) to open RTSS. [[File:RTSS icon.png|frameless]]
# Click the blue '''Setup''' button. [[File:RTSS Setup.png|frameless]]
# Go to the '''Plugins''' tab and enable both HotkeyHandler.dll and OverlayEditor.dll '''checkmarks'''. [[File:RTSS overlay setup.png|frameless]]
# Click on '''OverlayEditor.dll''' and then the '''Setup''' button.
# In the Layouts menu, select the '''Load''' option. Choose the OVL matching your screen resolution and aspect ratio, for example 16-9-1920x1080.ovl for 16:9 ratio 1920x1080 resolution, and click '''Open'''. [[File:RTSS Load.png|frameless]] [[File:RTSS ovl load.png|frameless]]
# Close the editor window.
# Click '''HotkeyHandler.dll''' and then the '''Setup''' button. [[File:RTSS Hotkey setup.png|frameless]]
# Click on '''None''' next to Toggle On-Screen Display and select a hotkey for your border, for example CTRL+F7. Click on '''OK''', and '''OK''' again. [[File:RTSS hotkey select.png|frameless]]
# '''Open your game and press the hotkey''' you selected in the previous step, e.g. CTRL+F7, to show and hide the border
# If you need a different resolution or aspect ratio, '''repeat steps 11 to 13'''
 
 

== How to configure hotkeys for different border settings ==
# Open RTSS and click '''Setup'''. [[File:RTSS Setup.png|frameless]]
# In the Plugins tab, click '''HotkeyHandler.dll''' and then '''Setup'''. [[File:RTSS Hotkey setup.png|frameless]]
# Click '''Configure''' next to Overlay editor plugin. [[File:RTSS configure preset hotkey.png|frameless]]
# Click on the '''...''' next to Programable overlay modifier 1. [[File:RTSS ....png|frameless]]
# Click on the '''Preset''' dropdown and choose '''Load overlay'''. [[File:RTSS Load overlay.png|frameless]]
# Change the description (e.g. Load 16:9 border).
# In the '''Parameters''' field, paste the name of the overlay you want to use (e.g. 16-9-1920x1080.ovl). [[File:RTSS load ovl.png|frameless]]
# Press '''OK'''.
# Click on '''None''' next to Programable overlay modifier 1 and press your desired hotkey for this border (e.g. CTRL+SHIFT+F7). [[File:RTSS preset hotkey.png|frameless]]
# Repeat steps 4 to 9 to assign other presets to Modifier 2, 3 and 4, as required.
# Press '''OK''' to close the window, and '''OK''' twice more to exit the settings.
# Open your game, press your RTSS '''toggle hotkey''' to show the border, and then the '''preset hotkeys''' to change presets (preset hotkeys won't work until you enable the border)
