THE Easiest Sinden Lightgun Setup for RetroPie on Pi 4/5 with autostart and config editor
28If you're setting up a new RetroPie image for Raspberry Pi, just use this quick and easy utility to get your Sinden Lightgun software installed, and enjoy the benefit of a great Autostart and Config editing utility.
-- UPDATE 26/JAN/2024 --
The near future is here. I added a Sinden pedal test to the utility, for up to four pedals.
Also added a checklist to choose what emulators the offscreen reloading setting should be applied for. Should only be needed for supermodel3, and that's what I've enabled it for by default, but thought I should make it customisable in case someone has a different version of supermodel installed with a different name, or another emulator shows up that needs it.
-- UPDATE 25/JAN/2024 --
Utility updated to prevent the Sinden Pedal from showing up as a Lightgun in the list of available Lightguns. This was because the pedal uses the same pcb and basic code as a lightgun so typically presents itself in the same way. My code is now more robust and accounts for the presence of pedals now.
In the near future I plan to add a section that shows how many pedals are connected and test them.

These are the commands to type in:
wget github.com/Widge-5/SindenLightgun/raw/main/download.sh
\nchmod +x download.sh
./download.sh
exit
(The last "exit" is to return you back to EmulationStation after the installation script has been placed, so if your using a remote terminal to access your Pi you can disregard that line)
