Yeah, I just looked at that last video. It’s a shame that the white border has to be overlaid on the game instead of surrounding it. Especially the way it was cutting off some of the UI on some of the games.

Still, it looks like it works. That’s the important thing.

Would it work to outline the monitor with EL tape instead?  IR LED strips all the way around would be more ideal, but i imagine that would require major changes.

I would say if that worked Andy would have showed that already as his current solution is pretty damn hackish.  I knew as soon as we got real vids by real users the other shoe would drop.

Someone is testing that atm I believe.
The gun just needs to see a clear border it does not really matter ehat the border is so you could probably put tape around your monitor or something.

The issue is when you go to change aspect ratio because the border needs to mate the aspect ratio.

Long term I think the solution will be to basically window the game inside the border.
Some emus can do this allready no problem others cant.
The Tekno Parrot devs are fully behind the project and are currently working to incorporate the sinden into all the lightgun games it supports.

Howard maybe you could get involved and help with the windowing idea if it bothers you that much?

I told you guys way back at the start this was a really good workable solution but Andy has been going it alone for however long.

The amount of support its gained the last month has been amazing (just check the backers of it!)

He did what he promised now hopefully the community can perfect the solution.
Titchgamer:
As a side note there is also one other dev working on improving his emu with sinden support.

Ime not allowed to say which atm as the dev has asked to keep it secret but ile say its a popular one.
