I had come up with an easy design for a light gun, based on the namco gcon 45 design, designed PCBs, bought df robot cameras etc to build them up, and although PCB way would print my circuit boards, they won't 3d print the shells for the light guns, as it's their policy not to print ANYTHING that resembles a weapon, not even if it's a game controller of a fantasy buck Rogers 1950s laser gun type design. I've got a couple of 3d printers but nothing that can print in the quality of way provide. So now I think I'm going to have to 3d print a shell, sand it, filler etc to get it perf etc then make a set of silicone moulds from it and then resin cast them. It's a lot of hassle when PCB way could do them for me a lot easier. The nky other way around it would be to split my design up in to lots of separate pieces, so none of them look like they come from a gun design. But then I'll have to attach all the parts together, and. I don't think it will look that great afterwards. I like the design of these in this video though. But even if I did a similar thing, PCB way still won't 3d print them.
Working good in crt?
Could you use this to upgrade an Arcade 1up machine?
Thanks wicked for the review, I don't understand about people complaining about the price I think it's pretty good, here in New Zealand it's hard to find light guns now, i have ps2 and kos of how hard they are to find people are selling 2 for like are 100 bucks each, and if u want a sinden 1 gun is 190 NZD, ginsfir are out of the question, I went on retro shooter website and they deliver to NZ and with the adaptor the cepaest option is 342, NZD.Considering how hard it is to find light guns then have to get a crt tv as well I think this a great option for us here, Let's not forget all the games u can play on the pandora box, yes the box is underpowered a little but for the average person like me it will suffice and if u get the adaptor and play off pc and get botceria it's even better, I'm turning 40 this year and my wife is getting me one, cheaper than a ps5 as well xbox, I personally think it's great value

If you have a spare powered USB port on the back of your TV, there isn't much mess from the sensors. My only complaint with them is that you have to have a cable sticking out BOTH sides of two of the sensors (which then chain to another sensor each), when it would've been nice to have a port on the back to avoid that. But there are still two cables per gun (going to opposite sides of the console, too, if you use that; although the PC USB HUB thing is better laid out) and a cable per pedal, so there is a mess, but the sensors don't really add to it IMO, as all of those wires are tied up behind the TV, except the two that stick out the side.

The recoil is actually a motor not a solenoid
@WickedGamerCollector
Ай бұрын
Was it not a mech solenoid concept ?
@raymonddai
Ай бұрын
@@WickedGamerCollectornope they went with motor to extend the lifespan of the recoil as it’s harder to burn out a motor than a solenoid . A solenoid recoil means it’s an electro magnet pulling a piston against a spring . The magnetic charge is then quickly released causing the piston to shoot out and hit a piece of plastic which makes the recoil hit noise. This mechanism on retroshooter is a motor spinning a gear that’s attached to a spring loaded piston on a latch so the sound has a wind up effect rather than a solid hit. The benefit is it can do auto fire for longer compared to smaller solenoids which will stop working after a certain amount of heat is generated. The downside is sound effect isn’t for everyone and the power is usually weaker since it’s a spin rather than a powerful pull punch

The gun handle design is not good and hurts after using it for some minutes. Unfortunately they copied the handle design from the Sinden gun which is also a bad design and hurts after using it for some minutes. What they should have done is copied the Namco Guncon design which is great and very comfortable even after using it for several hours. Oh well, back to the drawing board.....
Simple but what an ugly mess of wires jeeez!!😩
