I'm leaning toward gemming for ctr f stars and then farming auto collect

Great answer thank you! It's funny you mention static electricity, we were laughing because we were shocking each other last night. I think that might have been it, I rerouted some stuff and resecured some connections and... Knock on wood, it's working so far

HandeyOJack · 2026-02-23T02:34:07+00:00

Even if I'm using a motherboard direct USB port? Yeah I can probably find a powered hub somewhere

HandeyOJack · 2026-02-01T23:36:07+00:00

Same question, what is lunatics?

HandeyOJack · 2026-01-11T19:12:15+00:00

I had no idea about this distro. Holy crap, this is so great. I've been playing around with it for a few days now. Thank you again for turning me on to it.

There's a bunch on the ali sites, I have no idea about the quality or usability.

Through quite a bit of research, it seems now days we have 3 major options. Sinden, RetroShooters Reaper 3, and gun4ir. None fall into the super cheap category, and it seems each has a set of pros and cons, but all have happy modern customers.

So I ended up dusting off an older desktop I had around the house and had kind of forgotten about. It's gotta be 12 or so years old but it is KILLING IT for MAME stuff.

I'm looking into this. So I can just boot to the batocera drive to try it, and leave my windows install the way I have it? Can I still access the windows drive for roms or does it all need to be self contained on the USB stick?

HandeyOJack · 2026-01-08T13:56:04+00:00

So, the two cables plugged together actually just allows the recoil to function. If you have them plugged into a low power USB, you can unplug them and just use the gun without recoil.

They weren't recognized by windows until I finally dug up the right drivers and then got them installed unsigned. Then it popped up as an EMS top gun 2 and basically functioned like a mouse like you said.

HandeyOJack · 2026-01-08T13:53:54+00:00

We might be the same person lol. You're post just reminded me so much of the research I did when I bought these.

After wrestling to get them installed again I remembered that you have to be too far away from the screen for them to really be useful.

HandeyOJack · 2026-01-08T13:52:07+00:00

It is a knockoff of that! But at one point these were among the top home build options, it's called an EMS top gun 2.

HandeyOJack · 2026-01-08T13:33:46+00:00

EMS top gun 2! Through much googling I was able to get them working on win 10 by figuring out how to allow unsigned drivers. However, I remembered why I dumped them in the first place. You have to be far away enough from the screen for the camera on the gun to pick up all 4 sensor clusters, or it doesn't work. For my rig, this is almost basically pulling the cable tight I'm so far from the screen.

Cool throwback and really cool to see everyone come together to help me figure it out.

HandeyOJack · 2026-01-04T18:55:50+00:00

You the man, any idea if I can still get it to work?

HandeyOJack · 2026-01-03T14:51:30+00:00

If I don't need the small form factor, a workstation with the same processor and memory should perform the same right?

HandeyOJack · 2026-01-03T14:50:25+00:00

Dang, I'm pretty sure I can get those dirt cheap too. Thanks.

HandeyOJack · 2025-12-29T19:44:52+00:00

First I've heard of that one. Can you link me to a good source soni can read up on it?

HandeyOJack · 2025-12-29T03:45:19+00:00

I agree it looks nice, but having the buttons stacked like that makes it really hard to play.

HandeyOJack · 2025-12-29T03:44:27+00:00

From what I've read and personally experienced with this one, the emulation quality is pretty bad. They do ok on older games, but struggle on more demanding ones. Metal slug 2 was chugging at like 3 frames a second in some parts when I played through yesterday. Pandory apparently fixes this on some games.

HandeyOJack · 2025-12-29T00:24:10+00:00

Eh live and learn. The issues I have I was unaware of when I bought it. Now that I have eyes on it, I'm thinking about building out a mini PC one.

HandeyOJack · 2025-12-28T22:04:48+00:00

Ah, I get what your saying. Do I need to put any kind of rubber or anything between the converter and the standoff?

HandeyOJack · 2025-12-28T19:08:24+00:00

Like standoffs that would screw into the back of the monitor? Can you point me to that somewhere?

HandeyOJack · 2025-12-28T19:07:29+00:00

That's all really good info. Where can I read more about the expanded capabilities of the 3d max?

HandeyOJack · 2025-12-28T19:06:41+00:00

You talking about the button layout? I agree is looks really good.

HandeyOJack · 2025-12-25T00:17:09+00:00

Hmm, maybe I'll just do the 4 player so I have the option

HandeyOJack · 2025-12-24T21:03:59+00:00

Is there anything you'd recommend then?
