Setup Guide
Welcome to the setup guide for Dea7hSmiles All Guns V2 Lightgun Build. This guide will help walk you through the setup process and answer some common questions you may have
It is recommended to use a drive of at least 2TB to allow for future updates. This can be an internal or external drive. Using a SSD will give better performance but is not required
Download and Installation
Step 1 - Setup your drive
Connect a drive to your computer. It is recommended to use a empty drive but not required. The drive can have any drive letter (A:/, F:/, Z:/ for example) as this build mostly uses relative paths
Once connected, you need to exclude this drive from your antivirus software. Some files included in the build can cause false positives, which means they are deleted
- If using Windows built in antivirus, you can exclude the drive by clicking the Search Bar and typing Virus & threat protection
- In the window that opens click Manage Settings under the header Virus & Threat protection settings
- Scroll down until you see Exclusions. Click Add or remove exclusions
- Click Add an exclusion -> Folder. Select the drive you will use for the build and click Select Folder
If using an alternative anti-virus software, it is recommended to Google the instructions if you are not sure how
Step 2 - Download the base package
Download the full All Guns V2 base package from Dea7hSmiles or Arcade Punks
Once downloaded, extract (using 7Zip) the software to the root of your drive. Do not add additional folders (such as "Light Gun Build")
- Right click on the Dea7hsmiles Launchbox Build.rar file
- In the menu that opens click 7-Zip -> Extract Files... (if using Windows 11, you first will have to click Show More Options at the bottom)
- In the Extract to field, select your drive. Do not add additional folders\paths here. The final result should look similar to below:
Wait for the extraction to finish. This can take many hours due to the size and speed of your devices.
If you accidentally add an extra folder, no worries. You can cut and paste the contents to the root of a drive. Do this before running the setup later on though!
Step 3 - Download the updated "Build Updater"
