Thank you for making this; your manual is fantastic, but on more tired days, video content feeding the info is great lol Really great explanation of the cables and approaches to take, made setup easy
Do the sensors have to be exactly where the screen starts (and ends) ie, on an arcade cabinet, the screen is normally much smaller than the cabinet, as there is quite a large black bezel around it Can I put the sensors in the far corners of the black bezel? Or do the sensors really tell the guns where the screen starts and ends?
@theretroshooter alright, I'll move them then, because I put them a bit further than the actual screen (ie on the bezel) and detection is ok but not perfect.
Looks amazing one idea that would seem amazing if the sensors had top or bottom center plug in usb ports in the center of either top and bottom center of the sensors that way if you want to plug in the usb port on the top center of the sensor to the back of the TV monitor the USB cable won’t show at all, that would be a good alternative maybe in the future we can see this happen 😌
Hi! Rookie Q here: Will Retro Shooter work on a 120in Projector Screen? I have a Viewsonic Faux 4K projector in my game room and would like to add this system. Thanks!
Hi! Sorry for my average English. I would like to buy the rretro-shooter, but i've a TV led without USB port in the back (old generation), I assume that I can connect the sensors to another USB source? (PC, box etc...) Thanks in advance to you
Thanks for the vid mate. I got a 43 inch screen and at this moment I only got the 2 sensors stuck to the top of my monitor. They're not IR but the bulkier sensors, which are probably the original ones. I downloaded the Retro Shooter calibration software, opened the application, was able to perfectly carry out the calibration, shooting the I believe 4 points on the screen. I exited the tool, am back on my desktop but for some reason the aiming is way off, in fact I'm barely able to even see my mouse pointer. So did I do something wrong, or do I in fact require 4 sensors? PS I'm borrowing these guns from a friend to test some things out for him. He's got the other 2 sensors, so there are 4, but do I need all 4 to carry out a succesful calibration? Thanks!!
hi, I didn’t get an answer when I would like to buy not having a TV with USB ports , can the sensors connect to any USB port? I just need this information to order it
is it possible to get guns and sensors without Pandora box? It's a little underpowered for PS2 games which is my main target and I already have a decent gaming PC.
I live in italy. You guys gave the right 12v plug adapter but i think the main board was the wrong voltage because it just blew after an hour. I'm hoping it's just the 12v plug adapter that blew and not the main board...
@@theretroshooter what about cable long enough for projector. I saw the mx24 bundle saying for tv/projector use. are the cable long enough for 110 inch screen. or will i have to buy some longer one.
I finally got my 4 sensor upgrade pack installed. Guns working good, and I got all four of the low-profile sensors working now. Very simple and easy upgrade 😀 It does feel like it's still a little jumpy and loses tracking though. Like it's hard to hit corner shots and such even after calibrating a few different times and different angles. I think it's because I'm too close to my machine still. I'm about 3 1/2 feet back. Can I still use the fisheye Lense attachment with the four-sensor setup, or would that make it worse?
That sounds too close. Try the lens on the tip of the gun see if that helps. Try with all lights off in the room as well, then turn on one by one to see if one of the lights is affecting it, anything that emits light.

Just curious, how come we shouldn't plug the USB into the fire base? It's got three open USB ports; seems a shame to waste them. Thanks!
If you mount it on the bottom of the screen can it sit flush with the screen or does it need to stick out?

it's best to put them as close to the corners of your screen as you can.

hello, yes we have people use them on 120" projectors.

Are the cables on the sensors long enough to fit a 77" TV? Also how far away do I have to be from the TV for proper tracking?
Hi, yes they are
hi, I didn’t get an answer when I would like to buy
not having a TV with USB ports , can the sensors connect to any USB port? I just need this information to order it
Yes, the can but please don't use a fast phone charger USB.
I see on kit it come with a large sensor for top of monitor. how do i make sure i get the small sensors for all 4 corners
We are only sending these small sensors now. We no longer send the black ones.
is it possible to get guns and sensors without Pandora box? It's a little underpowered for PS2 games which is my main target and I already have a decent gaming PC.
Of course, retroshooter.com/10th5
I ordered the MX24 riffle. Does it come with sensors?
No, you would have needed to add them to your order unless you purchased one of the packages on retroshooter.com/mx24-consoles-pre
I Need update on my order please 11596 😢

Please make sure to email our team. Thanks
how long are the cables? will it work with an 80inch tv?
yes, we made them for 85" TVs. Plug the USB to the back of the TV

@@evobunny you may have to get longer ones. They were built for 85" TVs

wait - those aren't SENSORS are they? they're just infrared LEDs? that the camera in the gun uses to orient and track?
@@jinchoung Yup, but many people call them sensors. They are LED IR lights.
