wavytubemanJr(Microsoft store very cheap game) works great with laser trainers
I might have it for Xbox Kinect. I have not played it yet though. Thanks a lot for the recommendation! =)
Shame it was a departure from the way ALG made the previous light gun shooters, i much rather the FMV games they had out at the same time.
@@CaseTheCorvetteMan Indeed. At the same time it's super cool that ALG has this one outlier :D
I know what this does, but why?? All the 3DO based arcade versions of the ALG games were available as a home release.
"Shootout at Old Tucson" wasn't unfortunately. I wanted to record some footage of it and that's why I built the adapter and removed the copy protection check of the home console.
Hi, congratulations for the video. I've recently been experimenting with the Light Phaser for SEGA Master System with an adapter on MSX 1 and 2. I can say that it works on both. A question: I found Pig Race and Shooting Collection (the 3 target games) on File-Hunter, in ROM format, but unfortunately I have problems loading Shooting Collection. I use the MegaFlashRom. Where did you find the file? I would like to change the file to see if I can solve the problem... THANKS in advance.
I think I got the ROMs from superdeadite. They are FDD format, if I recall correctly. Drop an email and we can have a look.
So with that 18650, were planning to use a boost converter board?
Do you mean a voltage step up converter?
@@Boojakascha Yes. If so, what board is recommendable?
@@OMNI_INFINITY You would match the voltage and and current demands of your solenoid. Other than that there are no concerns.
@@Boojakascha Ah, thanks.
About that misinformation: yeah retro ralph isn't a reliable source. if anything, he kept lying about the price and the capability of the gun overselling it, and of the pandora box.
:(
Very inspiring video. I will certainly try to make something like this with a old airsoft gun. Thanks a lot for this video
@@yannwymann8796 Thank you, I am very glad that you liked it =)
Hi! Fellow (Light)gun nut here! Just got one of these laser sighted ones, the Ps099l, and I'm having some trouble with mine. I own a Guncon, a couple of Guncon 2s and 2 Justifiers and they all work well with my rear projection tv, but this one is shooting everywhere besides where Inpoint it. Is the anything to proper calibrate it?
@@SUPERGAMERPOWER Maybe it needs more light? Can you go to max brighness and try over?
What brand is that? 3:32
That's the "Data Frog" "Gun Stock for Quest 2". I paid 11 USD for it on Aliexpress.
Does this lightgun vibrate or recoil?
If I remember correctly, It doesn't have any force feedback.
Nice review and good luck with future development. As said, one he'll of a job doing this on a one man army ❤ @xenasgun
Thanks a lot, Gustav! =)
this is a good youtuber
@@darksunwu3805 thank you so much for your support! :D
i love ur video~!
thank you =)
Hello, Thank you for your kind review details. I'm looking forward to the next video Nextick Light Gun review video.
Thank you for your support! =) Me too! I ordered it a while ago. Right now the project is delayed, from what I can grasp of Indiegogo messages.
@@Boojakascha I got a contact email from the company today. I think I'm planning to participate in the booth at COEX in Korea. I think I'll be the first to demonstrate.
that's awesome! I am very happy for you =)
@@Boojakascha I visited the booth today. However, the Nextick Light Gun was not there, but the next generation Nextick Joystick 3D Mouse 2 was there.
Nextick 2 is expected to be released on Indiegogo next year. It will likely have the same performance as the Nextick Light Gun.
Hi Ben, I appreciate the thorough reviews. Thank you.
I am glad that you enjoyed them :D
Very nice to see this reviewed. A few weeks ago UA-cam recommended me the Xenas gun channel and I was curious for a review. Kudos to Ugo for building his own light gun and writing it's own software program. For sure a brilliant mind.
Let’s Go! Thank you
I am glad that you liked it =)
Let’s Go! Thank you for this review and I appreciate the amount of hard work you put into this video! To everyone else watching, the model shown in this video was an early prototype. A lot of the issues have been addressed. The Xenas Gun continues to get better as we reach release date of September 2024.
We'll be looking forward to seeing it's future forms!
It's been super cool to see all of the projects in recent years and Ugo's has been an interesting one to watch for sure. I'm excited to see how this continues to develop.
Not to forget your own lovely hardware platform! =) Guys, check out the OddCon if you are ever looking into 3D printing!
Thanks man 😂 I just wrapped the new model last night, if the final test print checks out I'll have the files posted this evening.
awesome!!!
Thanks Odwalla
@@xenasgun Hey man! Stoked to see your project getting some love. Keep it going!
I'd assume the final item will be a bit better than this.
Yes, it's my understanding that Ugo already addressed a few of the issues =)
Do you keep all your lightguns or you resell them after making a video? 🤔
I keep the vast majority as a reference. Else I couldn't compare newer to older ones. Memory is not as faithful as reality :D
Always glad to see another upload! Usually peer in, but these kind of constructive analyses are always interesting. Wanted to just chime in and voice support!
Thanks a lot, your support is much appreciated! =)
I think that this is the best alternative possible!! I can't find it anywhere to buy sadly
I got mine directly from Aidus/Ainex But maybe you can find one on second hand market places too =)
@@Boojakascha I tried all night long but it is what it is 🙏🏾 I hope some will appears by miracle 😂
@@grindpapi I wish you the best of luck! =)
I been looking for this for years and i finally found… I hope you read cus i want to know if it will work in modern tv cus i want to buy it …… sorry for wrong grammars…😅
This one needs a CRT monitor (cathode ray tube) in order to work. It won't work on LCD TVs unfortunetely :(
Give me a thousand such review warriors, and I could change the world!
what is a review warrior? 😅
@@Boojakascha :D A review warrior is a reviewer of computer products that provides thorough, unbiased, and detailed reviews with clear explanations, demonstrating both technical expertise and an understanding of consumer needs. :D
@@PietKonijn1980 very nice, thank you :D
imagine using this at the office of a bank
That would be so bold :D
Hi ! do you think that it's possible to make it work on pc with other games as a classic controller?
I would assume it should work. People even used the light sensor back in the days. Check out episode 184 to see that ( ua-cam.com/video/B_KjJEgEzVg/v-deo.html ) Even if it wouldn't work, you could use a PS to PC adaptor and then many of the buttons really should be translated to a Windows compatible gaming joypad.
@@Boojakascha Thank you very much good sir!
I had this!
Did you like it? =)
I like zapper.😊
The real one or the Wii one?
@@Boojakascha The wii one.
where do i buy one?
@@maximepivi I got mine of ebay
I know this video is old but I was wondering if you’ve found a way to improve accuracy of the remote by using 3rd parry sensor bars or other methods like that
@@wastyaza Indeed. Higher spot to spot distance and putting the spots center screen.
is there a 2-player mode for the gungames?
@@zombos22222 Not that I am aware of
Will this work on House of the Dead and other rail shooters?
@@theganadofighter Yes, that will work.
Do you know where I can buy it please
Last time I checked it was just available in China (any retail and also Taobao)
With this cool project come to fruition? I'm sure it would sell :)
Kind of =) Hyperkin ripped it off in 2019. I made episode 162 about it: ua-cam.com/video/v1M1tDEdyeg/v-deo.html
Nice to see a good summary video on that topic :)
@@krcsirke I am glad that you liked it =)
Hey Boojakascha, thank you for documenting this amazing piece of history. I would have one question if you still read the comments here; it's regarding the actual functionality of Game Card 10. I have watched other available UA-cam videos and it appears that the targeting dot simply becomes invisible when hit, but still keeps moving left and right while remaining invisible. Reloading the lightgun then reveals the dot (see the Odyssey Now Shooting Gallery as an example). However, in your video demonstration, when you shoot the dot not only does it disappear, but it also seems to stay in place where you successfully hit it. Only after you reload does the dot appear and begin moving again. Your version of the game seems more sophisticated and I don't understand this apparent discrepancy. Is it possible that you accidentally edited the video in a way that makes it appear like that? Are you using original hardware? Are other people not using the hardware correctly or is their hardware faulty? I'm in the process of designing a homebrew game utilising the functionality of Game Card 10 (though it might take me months to finally get my hands on one), so an answer would be greatly appreciated!
Hi AdekEku! You are right, the false behavior is down to editing. I use a real console and the real game, but for some reason I recorded without shooting and recreated the shots in editing. Sadly it's too long ago and I can't remember why I did so. I assume there was an issue with the capture hardware, that every time I shot, something weird happened to the capture. I will dig a bit to find out, but I can't promise anything =)
@@BoojakaschaI thought I was going crazy for a moment there; the footage implies the odyssey is able to keep the memory of where the hit was made, as well as remember the direction the ball was traveling - but the Odyssey has no memory. Now I can sleep easy again, thank you for the explanation.
I recently got one the blue one for $2.19 gotto go back and get red one now😂
@@hellaypg a good start though!
You are a great historian Ben. Thank you!
I did not realize Death Crimson OX has prequel 🤔
saturn had some ugly games! Giving seizures 🤯 not surprised haves a society of enthusiasts in Japan😂
What a lovely toy. Thank you for sharing again your many collection pieces!
you are my hero, like people have guts to telling others the truth.
@@ruisong396 Thank you very much, Sir! =)
I'd like to ask something else, too. Are dedicated light guns more precise then Nyko Wand+ and a grip?
Do you mean guns for other systems or just Wii controllers with built in Remote versus external Wand+ ?
@@Boojakascha Built ins vs. Wand+, which among these would be the most accurate?
@@rainbowdash5035 The Nyko Wand+ is the most accurate =)
@@Boojakascha Thank you!! ❤
@@Boojakascha And a last question... where can one get a Nyko Wand+ and a Precision FX? Can't see any on eBay.
Hey do you think you’ll do a review on the open fire lightgun firmware? Interested to do how it stacks up against Gun4IR/Sinden tech
Yes, I think I will. But first I will let the project mature a bit. It's frustrating to review something so early that none of the points I make remain valid for long.
@@Boojakascha cool looking forward to it 👍
Greetings, @Boojakascha, I loved your restoration of the pedal. I recently bought a time crisis 4 pedal and I will surely try to restore it. Could you tell me which parts of the pedal are lubricated and what lubricant you used? My pedal comes in white with the sticker, but I would like to paint it in red like the first time crisis, would you know what model of paint it has?
Thank you! I lubed it with white lithium grease, but I am sure any grease will work fine =) I lubed the spring (for sound) and all moving parts for friction. It was a rod I think and holes that went on it. Personally I am not using the original red, and my eyes don't perceive red 100 % correct I think. But I used the archetypical fire fighter truck red. I think it's #FF0000. I don't see a difference to the original colour, but I am the wrong person to ask.
I just got mine from a yard sell its not celebrating can u help
can you describe the issue? Does it power on?
This is the most useful video on Wii Remotes so far...
Thank you very much! =)
@@Boojakascha Oh. I didn't expect you will come into the comment section. Maybe you have stumbled upon even more precise controllers or a ways to set up the system?
@@rainbowdash5035 Let me think... The coolest addition is that I have the MP5 now (ep 245) ua-cam.com/video/smJrYo_CWWY/v-deo.html And great ways to use those Wii controllers and cradles on PC (ep 243) ua-cam.com/video/9UhUdQtSlk8/v-deo.html
@@Boojakascha Thanks, much love! 💌
damn, I have no knowledge of these things, but I found your whole video engaging and interesting, I was on the look for a PC compatible controller for light gun games when I found this channel, awesome video man.
Thank you very much! You might want to check out episode 251: That light gun is very similar, but clearly the superior product. =) ua-cam.com/video/HdfWBJzIrHU/v-deo.html
@@Boojakascha You are the absolute goat, I'll be sure to check this one out!
@@ElvenImmortal thank you, Sir. I am glad that I was of help :)
Do you know if these only work with a CRT display?
Yes, those only work on a CRT.
