      @IanDaemon You’re right. I was so hopeful for the move controllers but having so few games really put me off Sony peripherals. Probably the only one that held any court in my household was the Harry Potter spell game. Shoot had potential, I really want a light gun!

        @Fruitybit There was a "special edition" or something of House of the Dead: Overkill with extra levels, but that title definitely isn't family-friendly.

          Might have been a "Director's Cut".

            @IanDaemon I remember that one- but it was way too risky when the kids were so young:( may have to look it up on the ps3 again, good call.

              Get on board everyone, his kickstarter campaign has started. I can’t wait to incorporate this into my full size arcade that I built.

                @Evert The last time he posted a video here..he admitted there were more improvements to be made concerning input lag. He hasn't posted a vid lately to clarify any better lag concerns nor it is perfect now.

                  @ByteThis for me, Time Crisis and Mad Dog McCree seem to work fairly well in the latest video. I can't comment on Duck Hunt as I never played it with a gun. Certainly not Virtua Cop as the emulator itself is slow on the pi. Can't comment on Terminator as well.

                  If anyone can comment on those that'd be great, but for me I'm going at it.

                    @ByteThis it might not be perfect yet, but neither is any other option currently available. I see this as an opportunity for the community and other companies to design and implement something new. Its a different way of achieving something and it has to start somewhere. Without support, you can never expect innovation.

                      It might be a good opportunity to mention it : i recently added support for lightgun in fbalpha (Quick Menu > Controls then set Lightgun as device type), i'm eagerly waiting for some feedback since i don't own a lightgun.

                        Excellent, perfect place to mention it, can you recommend any Lightgun games that would be worth trying? Do we need to update the emulator from source to get the changes?

                          Most likely, the implementation was around 2 weeks ago so idk if the binary version got updated since then. I was thinking of recommending gunbustr but the "dpad on lightgun" thing might not be standard and not included on your model ? Maybe something more classic like opwolf then ?

                            @barbudreadmon Would it work with Master System and Megadrive in FBAlpha? Thanks

                              @pjft I just watched this new video using the lightgun. They played a few titles and does look promising

                                Money's tight right now but I had to back this. I can't wait! I hope you can get it into production. :-)

                                Rock on @MrLightgun !!!

                                  @simpleethat @MrLightgun i am officially a supporter now too!! Looking forward to getting my gun later this year!! I was “this” close to being a dual wield supporter but I was a little worried about how the pi / its emulators would be able to cope with that! I am going to give the difference in money anyhow to the retropie donate page since I also think that is only fair - without this website I wouldn’t have my bartop arcade that I am now hoping to use the Sinden Lightgun on!

                                    @MrLightgun No, gun isn't implemented machine-side on those systems atm, only arcade cabinets have this support.

                                      Thanks for your support guys, I will be pushing Raspberry Pi Lightgun support for everyone even if you use other devices.

                                        Ah OK never mind, we still have to sort of lr-genesis-plus-gx then. Any chance of Lightgun support in YabaSanshiro? That is the code base that runs on the Odroid XU4 for Saturn support right? Shame the Pi can't handle it.

                                          What systems in Retropie have you gotten to work with it so far?

                                            Hi Simplethat

                                            NES - lr-fceumm / nestopia
                                            PSX - lr-pcsx-rearmed
                                            Sega Naomi - lr-reicast
                                            Arcade - Mame
                                            Dos - lr-dosbox

                                            I'm hopeful that support is not too far away in Snes (Snes9X), Master System, Genesis/Megadrive/MegaCD (genesis-plus-gx) and Dreamcast (lr-reicast). This is because there is already code implemented in these emulators that needs adapting rather than writing from scratch.
