    Hi Guys,

    I recently bought a cabinet with a Pandors box that has light gun games. I was wondering if anyone has a link to a good tutorial for setting up Light gun ROMS on a rasberry Pi Model B 4G?

    Any help or guidance in the right direction is appreciated.

            @ByteThis Hi Mate, the cabinetry came with the Pandoras box. I have experience refitting these with Rasberry pis and running retropie, however I do not have any experience with Light guns, hence the question.

              @ByteThis said in Setting Up Light Gun For Raspberry Pi:

              @arcadelover15 Confusing as your asking for help for Pandora's box..but Retropie doesn't run on that unless your going to put a Pi in it..but you will still have to reconfigure all for a retropie build.

              Pandora's Box hardware can be used as a controller (xbox or playstation compatible). I have a PBox 5 that use as my arcade control setup on my Pi3b. I removed the thumb drive inside so that the PBox doesn't run anything internally when I turn it on. The controls are a bit sponge-y but it's a great out-of-the-box solution for an arcade setup overall. All it took was one tweak in setup to make the PBox be recognized as 2 controllers.

                  @Thorr69 Hey mate, thank you so much for this idea. Would it be to much to ask for a way to send you a private message to go through how you set this up?

                    @arcadelover15 There wasn't a whole lot to it. The box itself is designed to be used as a controller if you want, so it was just a matter of hooking up BOTH usb cables to the Pi. (Each cable is one side of the control panel.) I think the setup tweak I used initially might be no longer needed in current versions of RetroPi.

                    Here is a thread I gave my info in:
