I'm 60 now. I grew up as a teenager in the late 70's and in my 20's in the 80's. I spent a lot of money playing in arcades. I have been into emulation since MAME started. It still seems odd how you can play these amazing arcade games for nothing. I have one of those cheap TV box systems with 20K games. I think I spend more time in the arcade games section than any other. I am surprised none of the companies are not sued. But that's China I suppose.

@g4z-kb7ct

Ай бұрын

I've been working on mame development for ~25 years so far. Many of those games came from me hehe! They don't get sued because most of the arcade companies don't exist now and those that do don't have any control over their games as many were licensed for a limited amount of time and those licenses expired and the company that gave the license is long gone. Some of them even release retro game packs officially and they are using the same roms that emulators use because they lost or threw away everything 20 years ago lol. The emulators can't be sued because they don't ship the games with the emulators. As for China, well it's China... no one is going to try to sue some faceless chinese company for bundling everything together and selling it for what equates to 3/10th of a cent per game.

Wow, i’m even more excited for my pair of guns on order after watching your great Wicked video!!

Can't wait for mine to arrive in the U.S.

Thanks for this review, I have purchased two guns and can't wait

One of the best retro gaming consoles ive seen. I probably would buy one.

Dude! I haven't seen one of your videos in months. I was going through the cheap to the cheap, cheap withdrawals. I thought you stopped making these, which made me sad. Glad to see you still doing your thing. Addendum- That light gun looks nuts. It's like a cross between an HKMP5 and a G3! The damn thing even has a selector switch. Oh the pistols are Glocks with laser sights or they look like it. Freaking sold! ;)

Gun is based on the Ghost Squad (also used for Rambo) arcade lightgun, a very comfortable lightgun :)

Oh cool, thanks for that.

Die hard trilogy on Sega Saturn was a really good game to play with the gun. It was an all time favorite here

Just received mine, and I really love it. The standard package already was so much fun, but this is a great addition to the Retro Shooter. The only disadvantage compared to the standard supplied pistols is that it is more difficult to aim without turning on the crosshairs. But for some games the machine gun is just perfect. Thank you for your review!

Looks fantastic 🎉🎉🎉🎉😊

Operation Wolf 2 was called Operation Thunderbolt. It is in the Pandoras Box build I got the with Retroshooter Pistols so I assume it is in fact bundled with the MX24. Infact, looking at the video it is in there as game 5125.

That is awesome!

I have the Lethal Enforcers I & II with the g*ns on the Genesis/MD. It was so much fun. We'd play through for hours since you could just keep continuing when 1 or the other player lost all of their "stars". I still have CRT around that I use to play those and the GunCon games on a PS1. Those GunCon games were very underrated, yeah, it was expensive getting those controllers but for multiple games it wasn't a bad deal. I was always a fan of the sh**ters in the arcades and those brought that experience home. I am seriously looking into package...Thanks!

Does that have the house of the dead games on there

In your previous gun review... you stated that those guns had Solenoids... and people in the comments stated, that it was a Motor drive system, instead. It might be a good idea, to actually show photos of the internal mechanisms... or... to actually take the guns apart. I cant imagine them being that hard to re-assemble. It would be good to see what kind of Mechanisms are in them... as well as what parts they chose to use. For example.. are the Triggers using a Microswitch? A Roller-Style Microswitch? A Leaf Switch? A Contact Pad switch? Etc. Obviously... do the tests first, before taking them apart, "Just in Case". A long time ago, I had bought a gun that had a motor drive feedback system... and it was weak-feeling, compared to the arcade solenoid powered guns. So, if these are actually solenoids, and using the same type as the arcade guns... it seems like these would be a great solution. My only complaint, if I heard you correctly... is that they didnt hook up programatically controller feedback, for use in Terminator 2. Mame has the capability to output the proper speed control signals.. but I believe you currently have to use another piece of software called "Mame Hooker", to be able to get the actual feedback to the Devices.

@g4z-kb7ct

Ай бұрын

The switches are all microswitches nowadays. Well everything is micrswitches since the early 80's. That particular gun is a near perfect copy of the one used with Sega's Ghost Squad. I have the original arcade one here and it uses a 24v solenoid to hit a piece of metal that bumps against the shoulder support. The copy will be the same because it wouldn't make sense to change the design. But yeah would be good to see the insides of it. Pity because he opens those crappy android boxes but not the impressive controllers.
