GUN4IR - The Ultimate 4 Points Lightgun System

[TimeCrisis]

do you plan to make the slim LED creation available to your distrubutors, in particular you europeans distributor.

is there any reason why the other distributors couldn't have made it slim, is there some special workings involved?

Yes, that's the plan.
And yes, they require a lot of 3d printing for the shell, I am selling them at loss. Which is only ok because I sell a small quantity.

Hello Sir Jaybee

A few questions if I may ask.

1) Is your system expandable for for than 4 x Led units, eg 8, 12 or 16 for best accuracy

2) How does the vibration work, is it only programmed to vibrate when you reload or shoot, or is it mapped to in game vibration like a standard xbox one controller connected to PC? So if a game supports vibration and a standard xbox on controller vibrates in game does the gun4ir follow the same vibration path? Reason I am asking I am looking to add vibration to a Custom Aracade controller build and was wondering how to go about it.

3) Is it possible to make use of two motors for vibration like they have in standard xbox one controller?

4) Is it possible to wire in an analogue stick to gun4ir, (5v, ground signal) and max number of buttons can be used if using recoil and vibration?

Inspired by the recent time crisis 2 mame fixes, I've dived head first into gun4ir.

The 2x guns I bought are the time crisis 3 reproductions "NAMED" branded with the rumble and solenoid with kick back. Pink and blue guns. The TC3 guns are expensive but I went with them anyway as the cheaper TC4 repro gun shell I've read are too small. Also ordered a genuine arcade time crisis pedal. Probably would have been cheaper to buy an old Time Crisis 2 cabinet

I've of course donated to JB and have the official guide and software. (Thanks JB!)

Before I go it alone, has anyone already added gun4ir to a NAMED shell? Can you offer any guidance?
I'm asking because on the first page of the guide has the BOM list of parts to order and there are different options for the pcb and I don't want to order something that doesn't fit or is the wrong choice for this shell.

Also is anyone selling kits or do I buy the parts individually from ebay?

I'm also reading about new "slimline" leds but can't find them for sale?

By the way this will be used on a sega Naomi cabinet with 29 inch 31khz 4:3 monitor with a PC connected to it.

Cheers!

EDIT:

Went ahead and ordered both a pro micro and a teensy. Got the camera from farnells. Other bits from amazon and eBay.

Couldn't find anyone with a guide specific to the NAMED Time Crisis 3 shells. There are a few videos and links to RPEG and aliexpress offering Pre-modded NAMED guns. A bit crappy they didn't post actual "how to" guides for DIY or even a picture of the internals on a fully modded one.

Just the leds to sort now. Might try those aliexpress wireless ones unless anyone has a better suggestion?

Good Morning Sir! I am a HUGE fan of Yours and wanting to know how much You will charge to modify the Guns if I send them to You. I want to have 2  GunCon controller (known as G-Con 45 in Europe) (the black one)
And 2 Guncon 2 as I will buy them ASAP if You are willing to modify them for me. You don't modify Guncon 3's do You? I will contact You on Discord as well. Thank You so much as I am sa fan of Yours.

Bonjour,
Dans le jeu EndGame sur PS2, avec le plug-in « Nuvee », il fallait calibrer le lightgun avec les paramètres suivants, sinon on tirait dans le cercle rouge, après réglage le tire était correct (dans le cercle vert). Paramètres à rentrer dans le fichier « nuvee_ps2_usb_guncon_profiles.ini »







Avec la nouvelle version de l’émulateur PCSX2 Nightly (1.7.4517), il n’y a plus besoin du plug-in « Nuvee » pour les railshooters, mais dans le jeu EndGame les tirs sont toujours décalés.

J’ai essayé de modifier les paramètres suivants sans résultats et en cochant la case Manual Screen Configuration :



Merci pour votre aide

1) the sensor we have is limited to 4 points. and adding more won't increase accuracy anyway, it's already as high as it can possibly be.

2) it's handle by the gun, lightgun game that use dinput or xinput rumble are very very rare. but you can also pilot it with mamehooker and demulshooter.

3) not really useful, but you could probably try to do it anyway.

4) not yet, and all these info are in the pdf manual I provide with the license.

Several of my users made that mod, you can see them on my discord server.
The ali express sellers are scammers stealing my tech without any kind of agreement with me or compensation. Plus the quality is abismally bad, I get a lot of complain and of course I do not give any kind of support for these.

Hey, are you living in the US? If yes, you can contact Ray from RPEG electronics, he might be able to help you with that.

Thanks JB. I don't use discord but I found this guide online so I'll likely follow this:
https://flatfootfox.com/a-look-at-the-gun4ir-light-gun/  (Believe it or not, it's actually the only guide I could find online!).

Everything has arrived so far except the actual NAMED guns.

Will post my progress here for others to see.

After using my gun4ir gun for a certain period of time, it does not automatically identify the usb device after a certain period of time, I tried it on my different computer, the same problem occurs again, this may be the reason, I changed the arduino, this did not solve my problem

goodnight!
i am having problem with installing rumble and solenoid. I did it according to the diagram, but when I turn on 12v the solenoid recoils without pressing the trigger and does not come back and the rumble does not trigger. The Arduino LED lights up when I press the trigger. does anyone know what could be going on?

Hi Jaybee, I was excited when I first hear about GUN4IR, I have a few old guns waiting to be modded but I'm having a problem making a donation to ur paypal account as it said "donation to this recipient aren't supported in this country". Upon searching for the workaround, it seems this is a pretty common problem in paypal, users in some countries can't donate thru links for unknown reason, their solution is to send money to the account user directly. Perhaps u can give me ur paypal username or email for sending money? Please advise, thnx.

Hello Arcade-Man, He sent me the link to download the latest software version, and he sent me the license file to be able to use the gui

Hey JayBee, I sent a donation but I failed to provide my info in the notes section. I also cannot send DMs here (perhaps because my account is too new?) What's the best way to get in contact with you to provide my info for download.

itsy bitsy boards often need to be initialized with arduino IDE, you can flash it as "micro" or "leonardo" board in the IDE, it should then work perfectly.
Also check that the board is being detected properly by the pc.

Bonjour Jean-Baptiste,

Je me permets de poster ici ne sachant pas trop comment vous contacter.

Sur le site Facebook de Gun4IR, vous aviez indiqué que des ensembles préassemblés seraient disponibles sous peu pour la France.

Je voulais juste savoir s'il y avait une chance que ceux-ci soient disponibles avant Noël ?

Juste pour savoir si je peux compter dessus comme cadeau, ou s'il vaut mieux que je trouve une autre idée

Un grand merci pour votre retour !

[MaxG]

Thanks a lot. It works perfectly now.

Oui il le seront, il en aura quelques uns de disponibles cette semaine 
Il vaut mieux rejoindre mon groupe facebook ou discord pour recevoir les notification pour la date exacte, qui sera annoncée sur ces différents médias

[Flomartin]

Merci Jean-Baptiste pour ta réponse rapide

Je vais essayer de rejoindre le groupe Discord alors, pour être sûr de ne pas louper l'annonce !

Encore merci pour ton retour, et j'espère bien faire partie des heureux élus qui en auront un

Hi JayBee I donated a couple days ago and send a PM on this forum. Is there anything else I need to do to get the licence?

[Vitaly17]

Could you tell me how to load the calibration settings into the gun before starting the game. I use non-standard bezels for some mame games. For the 4:3 settings, I use the  command "Run ,%COMSPEC% /C echo M3.1 >COM 1,, hide". But what about the non-standard calibration? Is there any way to save the calibration settings and send them to the gun? Otherwise, I have to turn on the scope and recalibrate the weapon with a non-standard bezel. I have given an example below, sorry for my English.

@JayBee I've been using GUN4IR for a little over a year now and really love it.

I don't know if anyone has ever shown interest in a feature like this, but is it possible to add another "auto reload" mode that would press+hold the reload button whenever you're pointing the gun off-screen? And have the ability to set this option via serial commands? It's not a purely automatic reload, but I find it to be a nice hybrid.

Maybe newer games have spoiled me with the way that they've implemented their reload. I'm kind of thinking that Nintendo started this trend with the Wii. There seems to be a few emulators that hack this in as well. Anyways, if there is ever a feature to be requested, then that would be mine

Yeah it's already in the feature list for future updates.
It's a tricky feature at it could cause the button to stay held down whenever you aren't using the gun, which is definitely something you don't want.
But I've got a few ideas on how to fix that.
