Hello retro gamers, I've recently got a Sinden and I want to make a tutorial for mame Insert Sinden USB to any USB port of your PC

Follow the link's website, you can read everything if you want Click the link to Sinden Software

I found that version 1.08 works with Windows 11 that I'm using and the version 2.01 beta is best suited for 2 Sinden guns

Just click version 1.08 link to download, extract the zip folder Go to Mame config folder and copy gunmouse.cfg to your mame's ctrlr folder

Go to Sinden Lightgun folder You need to check the settings for camera permissions

Go to settings, privacy and security, find camera

Make sure Camera access is on, Let apps access your camera is on and let desktop apps access your camera is also on

Configure your mouse sensitivity to your preference, you don't need to maximize it

Run Lightgun.exe in Sinden Lightgun folder

Make sure you check "I agree to the licensing terms and conditions" Next, go to cursor offset tab Input your monitor screen size, I'm using a 32 inches.

Click Save settings before you go to other tabs I did not mess with the border tab settings

Go to select lightgun, you can click refresh if sinden is not showing Highlight Sinden Lightgun Blue COM 3

Click Select Lightgun Click Get lightgun info to checl your firmware, I updated my sinden to version 1.8

Go to configuration tab and you can click Start in the upper right so that the Sinden camera will turn on
