--- Quote from: KenToad on February 06, 2021, 11:47:37 am ---The review definitely wasn't negative. The main takeaway seems to be that the Sinden lightgun is not at all a plug and play system. It's working tech that requires a lot of end-user tweaking, research, and understanding to get the most out of it. The comments about the unprofessional support forums and the screenshots of the opaque software were on point. --- End quote --- Well we all know from this hobby that there is no such thing as plug and play when it comes to emulation. The actual gun setup for the most part is a fairly plug and play experience unless you have a multi monitor setup but thats another issue entirely. You were always going to have fun setting up all the emu's etc though. Hell everyone remember how bad it was before Argonlefou made demulshooter? :o Yeah the software needs some work, Andy is aware of that and is working on it. He introduced a 1 shot calibration in the last update which is pretty cool though :) |

Isn't the Sinden advertising a little dishonest? They state "The Sinden Lightgun is the world's first true LCD television compatible Lightgun." What about the Ultimarc AimTrak lightgun? Or Wiimotes inside the Wii Zapper? Or PS Move inside of the Sharp Shooter? All three of those solutions operate as lightguns with LCD TV's. There'e also been other products sold over the years. Sure, they're not actual lightguns in the historic technical sense of the word. But the Sinden isn't either. You'll have to go back to the CRT days and use the GunCons (or the gun solutions that came before them) for that. BTW, I'm new to this thread, so maybe that's already been covered. I guess it's no big deal ... advertising hype and overblown claims are nothing new. The advertising aside, the Sinden appears to be a promising product. Kudos to them, for its development. It's great to have a new and promising lightgun option. |

Titchgamer, please don't accuse me of misquoting. That's the whole promo statement, in its entirety, at https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/the-sinden-lightgun#/ "The Sinden Lightgun is the world's first true LCD television compatible Lightgun" Anyone can go to that URL and see for themselves. |

Fair enough, I just took the full quote from its website. https://www.sindenlightgun.com/ Maybe theres a character limit I dunno. |
