Sinden lightgun
-
Hi guys
Brand new to ALL of this. Literally my first time using linux, retropie and the lightgun.
Have installed Debian on an older PC and installed the retropi package onto it.
I downloaded and installed the sinden lightgun drivers (1.05) with no issues. I also have the gun plugged in.
When I go to test the lightgun in the "ports" application it goes to a blank black screen and then comes back to the original "port" interface. I have checked all the script file locations match up and they do.
I then opened the folder that contained the monolightgun.exe file and ran it from a terminal there to get the exact error message below:
---START OF ERROR MESSAGE
pi@raspberry:~/Lightgun/Player1 $ sudo mono LightgunMono.exe sdl 30

In my very limited knowledge I have done the following fault finding:
I have run the command without the "sdl 30" part and it completes fine.
Checked that all the file locations and paths are correct (they are including case sensitive)
I have made sure that the SDL 2 module is installed
Updated the raspberry pi script and program
Ran the sudo apt-get update/upgrade in the terminal interface on DebianIt looks to me like it cant get the libsdlinterface.so file although its in the same folder....
I have been searching online for 3 hours and cant find anyone else with this issue.
I have no idea where to go from here, please help!
Many thanks
Jack

@jackieboi I'd say to check and make sure you have the right version of the driver. If you want specific support for the Sinden Lightgun, you'll probably have more luck on the Sinden discord server.

@g30ff cheers. I have tried all versions of drivers in the folder with the same output each time.
Appreciate the reply mate.
