Got my Sinden Lightgun yesterday, have a question
(1/3) > >>
Phreakwars:
So I heard that you can modify your bezel artwork to display the border needed for shooting games instead of having the border on every screen while running mame. Anybody have any instructions on how to do this? I'm only using my Sinden for Hogan's Alley and Duck Hunt, so those are the only 2 bezel images I need to figure out. I'm guessing all I need to do, is just make a pure white bezel, then resize the play area on the screen to show that border a bit. Have never done this, would appreciate some knowledge or help on this.
Phreakwars:
To answer my own question, this is actually REALLY easy. I took the bezel image in the artwork folder, added a grid to it in paint shop pro and filled in some of the area around it in white and left the center transparent. That gave me this:



I then stretched it out zoom in on the play screen to see where I was at, and got this:



Now all I need to do is check grid measurements and just remove (make transparent) the play area and keep just enough to make the white border around it that I need. Will take me a bit, but yeah, pretty easy. I'm guessing I can use this exact same bezel for Duck Hunt as well, so no need to make 2.
Phreakwars:
Looking good, just a little touch up here and there!!
Phreakwars:
Yep, I was correct, same file works in duck hunt as well




Here is the modified image if anybody else wants to use it. Just rename it vs_redtent.png and replace the original vs_redtent.png in Hogans alley/Duckhunt in the artwork zip file with the new one.

I would just like to point out for the second time that you spent $120 on a gun to play two games that can be played on lcds right now with a modified rom and zapper. 

For the love of god actually use those damn things and put some real light gun games on there.
