How to set up Teknoparrot for your Sinden Lightguns.

I recommend setting player 1 to be your “Sinden Lightgun Black”, and Player 2 to be labelled “Sinden Lightgun Red”.

To make sure your lightgun is setup in a compatible way, or to change your Sindens to match those settings:

Plug in your Black Sinden Lightgun. Load the Sinden Lightgun application that is in the Retrobat drive. (There is a shortcut when you first click into the Retrobat drive labelled: Lightgun-Shortcut. Double click on it to load.)
 

The New Sinden app (preloaded) will automatically start the drivers for your 1 or 2 Sinden lightguns. The new app requires that you have firmware version 1.06 of newer (If you need to update firmware, refer to the instructions below).

You can preset 2 Sindens with this application.

DMDE (DM Disk Editor and Data Recovery Software) is a powerful tool that can perform low-level operations, such as writing disk images (.IMG or .BIN files) to SD cards or USB devices. This guide will walk you through the process step by step.
