&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;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&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
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&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Download and Installation ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Step 1 - Setup your drive ===&lt;br /&gt;
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&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
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&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# If using Windows built in antivirus, you can exclude the drive by clicking the Search Bar and typing Virus &amp;amp; threat protection&lt;br /&gt;
# In the window that opens click Manage Settings under the header Virus &amp;amp; Threat protection settings&lt;br /&gt;
# Scroll down until you see Exclusions. Click Add or remove exclusions&lt;br /&gt;
# Click Add an exclusion -&amp;gt; Folder. Select the drive you will use for the build and click Select Folder&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If using an alternative anti-virus software, it is recommended to Google the instructions if you are not sure how&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Step 2 - Download the base package ===&lt;br /&gt;
Download the full All Guns V2 base package from [https://www.dea7hsmiles.com/ Dea7hSmiles] or [https://www.arcadepunks.com/dea7hsmiles-all-guns-v2-lightgun-build/ Arcade Punks]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once downloaded, extract (using 7Zip) the software to the root of your drive. Do not add additional folders (such as &amp;quot;Light Gun Build&amp;quot;)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# Right click on the &#039;&#039;Dea7hsmiles Launchbox Build.rar&#039;&#039; file&lt;br /&gt;
# In the menu that opens click 7-Zip -&amp;gt; Extract Files... (if using Windows 11, you first will have to click Show More Options at the bottom)&lt;br /&gt;
# In the Extract to field, select your drive. Do not add additional folders\paths here. The final result should look similar to below:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Wait for the extraction to finish. This can take many hours due to the size and speed of your devices.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
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!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Step 3 - Download the updated &amp;quot;Build Updater&amp;quot; ===&lt;br /&gt;
There is a newer version of the build updater that has been posted to the Discord. Download it here: https://dea7hsmiles.kallisto.usbx.me/nextcloud/s/S4WbyqneBwiwf8w/download/Dea7hsmiles%20Build%20Updater%20V2%206-7-26.zip&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Run Setup.exe&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Allow the full installation to complete&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Restart your PC when prompted&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Open LaunchBox or Big Box&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Navigate to Settings → Platform Run → One Click Gun Setup&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The system will automatically:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Detect your connected lightguns&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Assign correct player order&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Install the proper configuration files&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Apply required emulator profiles&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Below are legacy instructions for the original Dea7hSmiles Lightgun Automated Build&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Original V1 setup instructions ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
If using an alternative anti-virus software, it is recommended to Google the instructions if you are not sure how&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Step 2 - Download the base package ===&lt;br /&gt;
Download the full base package from [https://www.arcadepunks.com/dea7hsmiles-all-guns-fully-loaded-730gb-light-gun-build/ Arcade Punks] or the [https://dea7hsmiles.com/Dea7hsmiles-Launchbox-Build/ Dea7hSmiles] website.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once downloaded, extract (using [https://www.7-zip.org/download.html 7Zip]) the software to the root of your drive. Do not add additional folders (such as &amp;quot;Light Gun Build&amp;quot;)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# Right click on the &#039;&#039;Dea7hsmiles Launchbox Build.rar&#039;&#039; file&lt;br /&gt;
# In the menu that opens click 7-Zip -&amp;gt; Extract Files... (if using Windows 11, you first will have to click Show More Options at the bottom)&lt;br /&gt;
# In the Extract to field, select your drive. Do not add additional folders\paths here. The final result should look similar to below:[[File:Directory.png|none|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Wait for the extraction to finish. This can take many hours due to the size and speed of your devices.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
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!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Step 3a - Download the All in One Update ===&lt;br /&gt;
Download the newest &#039;&#039;All in one Update&#039;&#039; from [https://dea7hsmiles.com/all-guns-v1/updates/ Dea7hSmiles] website or discord (&#039;&#039;&#039;Note&#039;&#039;&#039; - the newest update at this time is 8-2-25)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Open the zip file and extract (using [https://www.7-zip.org/download.html 7Zip]) the update to the root of your drive, overwriting any files it asks.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# Right click the &#039;&#039;Dea7hsmiles-Launchbox-All-In-One-Update(Recommended).zip&#039;&#039; file&lt;br /&gt;
# In the menu that opens click 7-Zip -&amp;gt; Open Archive (if using Windows 11, you first will have to click Show More Options at the bottom)&lt;br /&gt;
# Double Click the folder &amp;quot;Dea7hsmiles-Launchbox-All-In-One-Update 8-2-25 (Recommended)&amp;quot;. Highlight the files and drag and drop to the root of your drive where the previous files were extracted, clicking yes to overwrite any files:[[File:Allinoneupdate.png|none|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Wait for the extraction to finish. This can take many hours due to the size and speed of your devices&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Sinden Users Only&#039;&#039;&#039; -  After extracting the update - open the folder &amp;quot;Sinden Update (Install After All in One Update Sinden Only)&amp;quot;. Extract the zip file here to the root of your  drive, following the same instructions found above&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Step 3b - Download the 09-28-2025 update ===&lt;br /&gt;
Download the newest update dated 09-28-25 from the website [https://dea7hsmiles.com/all-guns-v1/updates/ Here], AutoHotKey is required to be installed prior to the below instructions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# Download AutoHotKey: https://www.autohotkey.com/download/ahk-v2.exe&lt;br /&gt;
# Run the installer and use the default settings&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once downloaded, open the &#039;&#039;Update&#039;&#039; zip file and copy the file &#039;&#039;Remove Old Files.ahk&#039;&#039; to the root of your install (do not extract everything at this time, just the script)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Run the &#039;&#039;Remove Old Files.ahk.&#039;&#039; Wait for it to finish&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Open the zip file and extract (using [https://www.7-zip.org/download.html 7Zip]) the update to the root of your drive, overwriting any files it asks.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Step 3c - (Sinden Users only) Download the 09-30-2025 update ===&lt;br /&gt;
Due to a few missing files in the most recent all in one update, download and extract the 09-30-2025 sinden update from [https://dea7hsmiles.com/all-guns-v1/updates/ Here] after the All in One Update&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# Right click the &#039;&#039;Dea7hsmiles-Launchbox-Build-Update-09-30-2025.zip&#039;&#039; file&lt;br /&gt;
# In the menu that opens click 7-Zip -&amp;gt; Extract Files... (if using Windows 11, you first will have to click Show More Options at the bottom)&lt;br /&gt;
# In the Extract to field, select your drive. Do not add additional folders\paths here. Also select Overwrite without prompt in the Overwrite Mode.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Step 3d - (Sinden Users only) Download the small update fix ===&lt;br /&gt;
In the discord - updates-automation-build channel, download the siden fix to prevent errors when running games&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Step 4 - Setup ===&lt;br /&gt;
Run the setup.exe. This installs software such as DirectX and AutoHotKey that are required to make the build function.&amp;lt;!--Ask Death - Need to put in sinden update stuff here i think as well. Not sure as i dont have them--&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# Navigate to the drive where the software has been extracted&lt;br /&gt;
# Click the Setup.exe file&lt;br /&gt;
# Follow along with the prompts that appear&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Setup.gif|alt=Installation animation|800x800px]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;NOTE&#039;&#039;&#039; - There is a bug in the current setup.exe (dated 8/2/25) that can cause an error to occur when setting up rpcs3 games. You can click OK on the error message and OK to continue the setup process&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This error will not prevent the build from working. Dea7hsmiles will fix this in a future update&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Step 5 - Set your COM ports ===&lt;br /&gt;
Set the correct COM ports for your Light Guns.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# Right click the Windows Start button on your taskbar and select Device Manager&lt;br /&gt;
# In the window that opens select &#039;&#039;Ports (COM &amp;amp; LPT)&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
# Right click on your light gun and select Properties&lt;br /&gt;
# In the window that opens, click Port Settings then Advanced&lt;br /&gt;
# In the window that opens, change the COM Port in use to the one identified in the chart below:&amp;lt;syntaxhighlight&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
COM Port Assignment List&lt;br /&gt;
OpenFire&lt;br /&gt;
Gun 1 → COM1&lt;br /&gt;
Gun 2 → COM2&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Blancom&lt;br /&gt;
Gun 1 → COM1&lt;br /&gt;
Gun 2 → COM2&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Gun4IR&lt;br /&gt;
Gun 1 → COM1&lt;br /&gt;
Gun 2 → COM2&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
XGunner&lt;br /&gt;
Gun 1 → COM1&lt;br /&gt;
Gun 2 → COM2&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
MX24&lt;br /&gt;
Gun 1 &amp;amp; 2 → COM5 (Hub)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
RS3 Reaper - Turn off recoil switch (set slider to the middle)&lt;br /&gt;
Hub → COM5&lt;br /&gt;
Gun 1 → COM6&lt;br /&gt;
Gun 2 → COM7&lt;br /&gt;
Gun 3 → COM8&lt;br /&gt;
Gun 4 → COM9&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/syntaxhighlight&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you have trouble finding what your player 1 and player 2 gun is under the Ports (Com &amp;amp; LPT) section, unplug the guns and plug them in one by one. The devices will disappear when unplugged and reappear when plugged back in&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Using the Software ==&lt;br /&gt;
This build uses software called LaunchBox to help with the automation and keep everything in one neatly organized interface. The base version of LaunchBox is free to use.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
BigBox is a licensed piece of software from LaunchBox that provides a more sleek interface better suited to navigation with a controller. To use BigBox, you will be required to purchase a license from LaunchBox&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== LaunchBox ===&lt;br /&gt;
LaunchBox can be run by navigating to the Launchbox folder and selecting LaunchBox.exe&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:LaunchBox.png|537x537px]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== BigBox ===&lt;br /&gt;
BigBox can be run by navigating to the Launchbox folder and selecting BigBoxLightGunControl.exe. This is a customized version that better maps navigation to a light gun&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Bigbox_low_res.png|537x537px]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Hook of the Reaper/MameHooker ===&lt;br /&gt;
These are two similar pieces of software that provide output/feedback to your lightgun if supported (such as rumble/recoil/slide lock/led&#039;s/etc). While similar, Hook of the Reaper is a newer piece of software that is built to support more modern light guns and features&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Updating the Software ==&lt;br /&gt;
Dea7hSmiles releases updates for this build from time to time. There are 2 types of updates, the &#039;&#039;All in One Update&#039;&#039; and the much smaller I&#039;&#039;ndividual Updates&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you &#039;&#039;&#039;do not know&#039;&#039;&#039; what version of the build you are running, download the &#039;&#039;All in One Update&#039;&#039;! This update includes all updates released since the original build was released!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you know what update you last installed, you can download any subsequent smaller &#039;&#039;Individual Updates.&#039;&#039; You must download and install these updates in the order they were released&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Run the &#039;&#039;Remove Old Files.ahk.&#039;&#039; Wait for it to finish&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Open the zip file and extract (using [https://www.7-zip.org/download.html 7Zip]) the update to the root of your drive, overwriting any files it asks.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Step 3c - (Sinden Users only) Download the 09-30-2025 update ===&lt;br /&gt;
Due to a few missing files in the most recent all in one update, download and extract the 09-30-2025 sinden update from [https://dea7hsmiles.com/all-guns-v1/updates/ Here] after the All in One Update&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# Right click the &#039;&#039;Dea7hsmiles-Launchbox-Build-Update-09-30-2025.zip&#039;&#039; file&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
=== Step 4 - Setup ===&lt;br /&gt;
Run the setup.exe. This installs software such as DirectX and AutoHotKey that are required to make the build function.&amp;lt;!--Ask Death - Need to put in sinden update stuff here i think as well. Not sure as i dont have them--&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# Navigate to the drive where the software has been extracted&lt;br /&gt;
# Click the Setup.exe file&lt;br /&gt;
# Follow along with the prompts that appear&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Setup.gif|alt=Installation animation|800x800px]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;NOTE&#039;&#039;&#039; - There is a bug in the current setup.exe (dated 8/2/25) that can cause an error to occur when setting up rpcs3 games. You can click OK on the error message and OK to continue the setup process&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This error will not prevent the build from working. Dea7hsmiles will fix this in a future update&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Step 5 - Set your COM ports ===&lt;br /&gt;
Set the correct COM ports for your Light Guns.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# Right click the Windows Start button on your taskbar and select Device Manager&lt;br /&gt;
# In the window that opens select &#039;&#039;Ports (COM &amp;amp; LPT)&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
# Right click on your light gun and select Properties&lt;br /&gt;
# In the window that opens, click Port Settings then Advanced&lt;br /&gt;
# In the window that opens, change the COM Port in use to the one identified in the chart below:&amp;lt;syntaxhighlight&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
COM Port Assignment List&lt;br /&gt;
OpenFire&lt;br /&gt;
Gun 1 → COM1&lt;br /&gt;
Gun 2 → COM2&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Blancom&lt;br /&gt;
Gun 1 → COM1&lt;br /&gt;
Gun 2 → COM2&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Gun4IR&lt;br /&gt;
Gun 1 → COM1&lt;br /&gt;
Gun 2 → COM2&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
XGunner&lt;br /&gt;
Gun 1 → COM1&lt;br /&gt;
Gun 2 → COM2&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
MX24&lt;br /&gt;
Gun 1 &amp;amp; 2 → COM5 (Hub)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
RS3 Reaper - Turn off recoil switch (set slider to the middle)&lt;br /&gt;
Hub → COM5&lt;br /&gt;
Gun 1 → COM6&lt;br /&gt;
Gun 2 → COM7&lt;br /&gt;
Gun 3 → COM8&lt;br /&gt;
Gun 4 → COM9&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/syntaxhighlight&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you have trouble finding what your player 1 and player 2 gun is under the Ports (Com &amp;amp; LPT) section, unplug the guns and plug them in one by one. The devices will disappear when unplugged and reappear when plugged back in&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Using the Software ==&lt;br /&gt;
This build uses software called LaunchBox to help with the automation and keep everything in one neatly organized interface. The base version of LaunchBox is free to use.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
BigBox is a licensed piece of software from LaunchBox that provides a more sleek interface better suited to navigation with a controller. To use BigBox, you will be required to purchase a license from LaunchBox&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== LaunchBox ===&lt;br /&gt;
LaunchBox can be run by navigating to the Launchbox folder and selecting LaunchBox.exe&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:LaunchBox.png|537x537px]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== BigBox ===&lt;br /&gt;
BigBox can be run by navigating to the Launchbox folder and selecting BigBoxLightGunControl.exe. This is a customized version that better maps navigation to a light gun&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Bigbox_low_res.png|537x537px]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Hook of the Reaper/MameHooker ===&lt;br /&gt;
These are two similar pieces of software that provide output/feedback to your lightgun if supported (such as rumble/recoil/slide lock/led&#039;s/etc). While similar, Hook of the Reaper is a newer piece of software that is built to support more modern light guns and features&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Updating the Software ==&lt;br /&gt;
Dea7hSmiles releases updates for this build from time to time. There are 2 types of updates, the &#039;&#039;All in One Update&#039;&#039; and the much smaller I&#039;&#039;ndividual Updates&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you &#039;&#039;&#039;do not know&#039;&#039;&#039; what version of the build you are running, download the &#039;&#039;All in One Update&#039;&#039;! This update includes all updates released since the original build was released!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you know what update you last installed, you can download any subsequent smaller &#039;&#039;Individual Updates.&#039;&#039; You must download and install these updates in the order they were released&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== All In one Update ===&lt;br /&gt;
Download the newest &#039;&#039;All in one Update&#039;&#039; from [https://dea7hsmiles.com/725gb-Launchbox/Bigbox-Build-Updates/ Dea7hSmiles] website.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
For example, if I am on the 5/7/2025 Update, I need to download and install the 5/16/2025 Update, then download and install the 8/2/2025 Update Once downloaded, extract (using [https://www.7-zip.org/download.html 7Zip]) the update to the root of your drive, overwriting any files it asks.&lt;br /&gt;

		<summary type="html">&lt;p&gt;Dea7hsmiles: /* Individual Updates */&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Below are legacy instructions for the original Dea7hSmiles Lightgun Automated Build&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Original V1 setup instructions ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Step 1 - Setup your drive ===&lt;br /&gt;
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&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
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&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# If using Windows built in antivirus, you can exclude the drive by clicking the Search Bar and typing Virus &amp;amp; threat protection&lt;br /&gt;
# In the window that opens click Manage Settings under the header Virus &amp;amp; Threat protection settings&lt;br /&gt;
# Scroll down until you see Exclusions. Click Add or remove exclusions&lt;br /&gt;
# Click Add an exclusion -&amp;gt; Folder. Select the drive you will use for the build and click Select Folder&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If using an alternative anti-virus software, it is recommended to Google the instructions if you are not sure how&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Step 2 - Download the base package ===&lt;br /&gt;
Download the full base package from [https://www.arcadepunks.com/dea7hsmiles-all-guns-fully-loaded-730gb-light-gun-build/ Arcade Punks] or the [https://dea7hsmiles.com/Dea7hsmiles-Launchbox-Build/ Dea7hSmiles] website.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once downloaded, extract (using [https://www.7-zip.org/download.html 7Zip]) the software to the root of your drive. Do not add additional folders (such as &amp;quot;Light Gun Build&amp;quot;)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# Right click on the &#039;&#039;Dea7hsmiles Launchbox Build.rar&#039;&#039; file&lt;br /&gt;
# In the menu that opens click 7-Zip -&amp;gt; Extract Files... (if using Windows 11, you first will have to click Show More Options at the bottom)&lt;br /&gt;
# In the Extract to field, select your drive. Do not add additional folders\paths here. The final result should look similar to below:[[File:Directory.png|none|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Wait for the extraction to finish. This can take many hours due to the size and speed of your devices.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
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!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Step 3a - Download the All in One Update ===&lt;br /&gt;
Download the newest &#039;&#039;All in one Update&#039;&#039; from [https://dea7hsmiles.com/all-guns-v1/updates/ Dea7hSmiles] website or discord (&#039;&#039;&#039;Note&#039;&#039;&#039; - the newest update at this time is 8-2-25)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Open the zip file and extract (using [https://www.7-zip.org/download.html 7Zip]) the update to the root of your drive, overwriting any files it asks.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# Right click the &#039;&#039;Dea7hsmiles-Launchbox-All-In-One-Update(Recommended).zip&#039;&#039; file&lt;br /&gt;
# In the menu that opens click 7-Zip -&amp;gt; Open Archive (if using Windows 11, you first will have to click Show More Options at the bottom)&lt;br /&gt;
# Double Click the folder &amp;quot;Dea7hsmiles-Launchbox-All-In-One-Update 8-2-25 (Recommended)&amp;quot;. Highlight the files and drag and drop to the root of your drive where the previous files were extracted, clicking yes to overwrite any files:[[File:Allinoneupdate.png|none|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Wait for the extraction to finish. This can take many hours due to the size and speed of your devices&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Sinden Users Only&#039;&#039;&#039; -  After extracting the update - open the folder &amp;quot;Sinden Update (Install After All in One Update Sinden Only)&amp;quot;. Extract the zip file here to the root of your  drive, following the same instructions found above&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Step 3b - Download the 09-28-2025 update ===&lt;br /&gt;
Download the newest update dated 09-28-25 from the website [https://dea7hsmiles.com/all-guns-v1/updates/ Here], AutoHotKey is required to be installed prior to the below instructions.&lt;br /&gt;

# Download AutoHotKey: https://www.autohotkey.com/download/ahk-v2.exe&lt;br /&gt;
# Run the installer and use the default settings&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once downloaded, open the &#039;&#039;Update&#039;&#039; zip file and copy the file &#039;&#039;Remove Old Files.ahk&#039;&#039; to the root of your install (do not extract everything at this time, just the script)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Run the &#039;&#039;Remove Old Files.ahk.&#039;&#039; Wait for it to finish&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Open the zip file and extract (using [https://www.7-zip.org/download.html 7Zip]) the update to the root of your drive, overwriting any files it asks.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Step 3c - (Sinden Users only) Download the 09-30-2025 update ===&lt;br /&gt;
Due to a few missing files in the most recent all in one update, download and extract the 09-30-2025 sinden update from [https://dea7hsmiles.com/all-guns-v1/updates/ Here] after the All in One Update&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

=== Step 3d - (Sinden Users only) Download the small update fix ===&lt;br /&gt;
In the discord - updates-automation-build channel, download the siden fix to prevent errors when running games&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Step 4 - Setup ===&lt;br /&gt;
Run the setup.exe. This installs software such as DirectX and AutoHotKey that are required to make the build function.&amp;lt;!--Ask Death - Need to put in sinden update stuff here i think as well. Not sure as i dont have them--&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# Navigate to the drive where the software has been extracted&lt;br /&gt;
# Click the Setup.exe file&lt;br /&gt;
# Follow along with the prompts that appear&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Setup.gif|alt=Installation animation|800x800px]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;NOTE&#039;&#039;&#039; - There is a bug in the current setup.exe (dated 8/2/25) that can cause an error to occur when setting up rpcs3 games. You can click OK on the error message and OK to continue the setup process&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This error will not prevent the build from working. Dea7hsmiles will fix this in a future update&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Step 5 - Set your COM ports ===&lt;br /&gt;
Set the correct COM ports for your Light Guns.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Below are legacy instructions for the original Dea7hSmiles Lightgun Automated Build&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Original V1 setup instructions ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Step 1 - Setup your drive ===&lt;br /&gt;
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&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
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&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# If using Windows built in antivirus, you can exclude the drive by clicking the Search Bar and typing Virus &amp;amp; threat protection&lt;br /&gt;
# In the window that opens click Manage Settings under the header Virus &amp;amp; Threat protection settings&lt;br /&gt;
# Scroll down until you see Exclusions. Click Add or remove exclusions&lt;br /&gt;
# Click Add an exclusion -&amp;gt; Folder. Select the drive you will use for the build and click Select Folder&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If using an alternative anti-virus software, it is recommended to Google the instructions if you are not sure how&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Step 2 - Download the base package ===&lt;br /&gt;
Download the full base package from [https://www.arcadepunks.com/dea7hsmiles-all-guns-fully-loaded-730gb-light-gun-build/ Arcade Punks] or the [https://dea7hsmiles.com/Dea7hsmiles-Launchbox-Build/ Dea7hSmiles] website.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once downloaded, extract (using [https://www.7-zip.org/download.html 7Zip]) the software to the root of your drive. Do not add additional folders (such as &amp;quot;Light Gun Build&amp;quot;)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# Right click on the &#039;&#039;Dea7hsmiles Launchbox Build.rar&#039;&#039; file&lt;br /&gt;
# In the menu that opens click 7-Zip -&amp;gt; Extract Files... (if using Windows 11, you first will have to click Show More Options at the bottom)&lt;br /&gt;
# In the Extract to field, select your drive. Do not add additional folders\paths here. The final result should look similar to below:[[File:Directory.png|none|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Wait for the extraction to finish. This can take many hours due to the size and speed of your devices.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
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!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Step 3a - Download the All in One Update ===&lt;br /&gt;
Download the newest &#039;&#039;All in one Update&#039;&#039; from [https://dea7hsmiles.com/all-guns-v1/updates/ Dea7hSmiles] website or discord (&#039;&#039;&#039;Note&#039;&#039;&#039; - the newest update at this time is 8-2-25)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Open the zip file and extract (using [https://www.7-zip.org/download.html 7Zip]) the update to the root of your drive, overwriting any files it asks.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# Right click the &#039;&#039;Dea7hsmiles-Launchbox-All-In-One-Update(Recommended).zip&#039;&#039; file&lt;br /&gt;
# In the menu that opens click 7-Zip -&amp;gt; Open Archive (if using Windows 11, you first will have to click Show More Options at the bottom)&lt;br /&gt;
# Double Click the folder &amp;quot;Dea7hsmiles-Launchbox-All-In-One-Update 8-2-25 (Recommended)&amp;quot;. Highlight the files and drag and drop to the root of your drive where the previous files were extracted, clicking yes to overwrite any files:[[File:Allinoneupdate.png|none|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Wait for the extraction to finish. This can take many hours due to the size and speed of your devices&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Sinden Users Only&#039;&#039;&#039; -  After extracting the update - open the folder &amp;quot;Sinden Update (Install After All in One Update Sinden Only)&amp;quot;. Extract the zip file here to the root of your  drive, following the same instructions found above&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Step 3b - Download the 09-28-2025 update ===&lt;br /&gt;
Download the newest update dated 09-28-25 from the website [https://dea7hsmiles.com/all-guns-v1/updates/ Here], AutoHotKey is required to be installed prior to the below instructions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# Download AutoHotKey: https://www.autohotkey.com/download/ahk-v2.exe&lt;br /&gt;
# Run the installer and use the default settings&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once downloaded, open the &#039;&#039;Update&#039;&#039; zip file and copy the file &#039;&#039;Remove Old Files.ahk&#039;&#039; to the root of your install (do not extract everything at this time, just the script)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Run the &#039;&#039;Remove Old Files.ahk.&#039;&#039; Wait for it to finish&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Open the zip file and extract (using [https://www.7-zip.org/download.html 7Zip]) the update to the root of your drive, overwriting any files it asks.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Step 3c - (Sinden Users only) Download the 09-30-2025 update ===&lt;br /&gt;
Due to a few missing files in the most recent all in one update, download and extract the 09-30-2025 sinden update from [https://dea7hsmiles.com/all-guns-v1/updates/ Here] after the All in One Update&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# Right click the &#039;&#039;Dea7hsmiles-Launchbox-Build-Update-09-30-2025.zip&#039;&#039; file&lt;br /&gt;
# In the menu that opens click 7-Zip -&amp;gt; Extract Files... (if using Windows 11, you first will have to click Show More Options at the bottom)&lt;br /&gt;
# In the Extract to field, select your drive. Do not add additional folders\paths here. Also select Overwrite without prompt in the Overwrite Mode.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Step 3d - (Sinden Users only) Download the small update fix ===&lt;br /&gt;
In the discord - updates-automation-build channel, download the siden fix to prevent errors when running games&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Step 4 - Setup ===&lt;br /&gt;
Run the setup.exe. This installs software such as DirectX and AutoHotKey that are required to make the build function.&amp;lt;!--Ask Death - Need to put in sinden update stuff here i think as well. Not sure as i dont have them--&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# Navigate to the drive where the software has been extracted&lt;br /&gt;
# Click the Setup.exe file&lt;br /&gt;
# Follow along with the prompts that appear&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Setup.gif|alt=Installation animation|800x800px]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;NOTE&#039;&#039;&#039; - There is a bug in the current setup.exe (dated 8/2/25) that can cause an error to occur when setting up rpcs3 games. You can click OK on the error message and OK to continue the setup process&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This error will not prevent the build from working. Dea7hsmiles will fix this in a future update&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Step 5 - Set your COM ports ===&lt;br /&gt;
Set the correct COM ports for your Light Guns.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# Right click the Windows Start button on your taskbar and select Device Manager&lt;br /&gt;
# In the window that opens select &#039;&#039;Ports (COM &amp;amp; LPT)&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
# Right click on your light gun and select Properties&lt;br /&gt;
# In the window that opens, click Port Settings then Advanced&lt;br /&gt;
# In the window that opens, change the COM Port in use to the one identified in the chart below:&amp;lt;syntaxhighlight&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
COM Port Assignment List&lt;br /&gt;
OpenFire&lt;br /&gt;
Gun 1 → COM1&lt;br /&gt;
Gun 2 → COM2&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Blancom&lt;br /&gt;
Gun 1 → COM1&lt;br /&gt;
Gun 2 → COM2&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Gun4IR&lt;br /&gt;
Gun 1 → COM1&lt;br /&gt;
Gun 2 → COM2&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
XGunner&lt;br /&gt;
Gun 1 → COM1&lt;br /&gt;
Gun 2 → COM2&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
MX24&lt;br /&gt;
Gun 1 &amp;amp; 2 → COM5 (Hub)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
RS3 Reaper - Turn off recoil switch (set slider to the middle)&lt;br /&gt;
Hub → COM5&lt;br /&gt;
Gun 1 → COM6&lt;br /&gt;
Gun 2 → COM7&lt;br /&gt;
Gun 3 → COM8&lt;br /&gt;
Gun 4 → COM9&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/syntaxhighlight&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you have trouble finding what your player 1 and player 2 gun is under the Ports (Com &amp;amp; LPT) section, unplug the guns and plug them in one by one. The devices will disappear when unplugged and reappear when plugged back in&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Using the Software ==&lt;br /&gt;
This build uses software called LaunchBox to help with the automation and keep everything in one neatly organized interface. The base version of LaunchBox is free to use.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
BigBox is a licensed piece of software from LaunchBox that provides a more sleek interface better suited to navigation with a controller. To use BigBox, you will be required to purchase a license from LaunchBox&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== LaunchBox ===&lt;br /&gt;
LaunchBox can be run by navigating to the Launchbox folder and selecting LaunchBox.exe&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:LaunchBox.png|537x537px]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== BigBox ===&lt;br /&gt;
BigBox can be run by navigating to the Launchbox folder and selecting BigBoxLightGunControl.exe. This is a customized version that better maps navigation to a light gun&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Bigbox_low_res.png|537x537px]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Hook of the Reaper/MameHooker ===&lt;br /&gt;
These are two similar pieces of software that provide output/feedback to your lightgun if supported (such as rumble/recoil/slide lock/led&#039;s/etc). While similar, Hook of the Reaper is a newer piece of software that is built to support more modern light guns and features&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Updating the Software ==&lt;br /&gt;
Dea7hSmiles releases updates for this build from time to time. There are 2 types of updates, the &#039;&#039;All in One Update&#039;&#039; and the much smaller I&#039;&#039;ndividual Updates&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;

		<summary type="html">&lt;p&gt;Dea7hsmiles: /* Step 3b - Download the 09-28-2025 update */&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Below are legacy instructions for the original Dea7hSmiles Lightgun Automated Build&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Original V1 setup instructions ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Step 1 - Setup your drive ===&lt;br /&gt;
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&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
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&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# If using Windows built in antivirus, you can exclude the drive by clicking the Search Bar and typing Virus &amp;amp; threat protection&lt;br /&gt;
# In the window that opens click Manage Settings under the header Virus &amp;amp; Threat protection settings&lt;br /&gt;
# Scroll down until you see Exclusions. Click Add or remove exclusions&lt;br /&gt;
# Click Add an exclusion -&amp;gt; Folder. Select the drive you will use for the build and click Select Folder&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If using an alternative anti-virus software, it is recommended to Google the instructions if you are not sure how&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Step 2 - Download the base package ===&lt;br /&gt;
Download the full base package from [https://www.arcadepunks.com/dea7hsmiles-all-guns-fully-loaded-730gb-light-gun-build/ Arcade Punks] or the [https://dea7hsmiles.com/Dea7hsmiles-Launchbox-Build/ Dea7hSmiles] website.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once downloaded, extract (using [https://www.7-zip.org/download.html 7Zip]) the software to the root of your drive. Do not add additional folders (such as &amp;quot;Light Gun Build&amp;quot;)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# Right click on the &#039;&#039;Dea7hsmiles Launchbox Build.rar&#039;&#039; file&lt;br /&gt;
# In the menu that opens click 7-Zip -&amp;gt; Extract Files... (if using Windows 11, you first will have to click Show More Options at the bottom)&lt;br /&gt;
# In the Extract to field, select your drive. Do not add additional folders\paths here. The final result should look similar to below:[[File:Directory.png|none|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Wait for the extraction to finish. This can take many hours due to the size and speed of your devices.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
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!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Step 3a - Download the All in One Update ===&lt;br /&gt;
Download the newest &#039;&#039;All in one Update&#039;&#039; from [https://dea7hsmiles.com/all-guns-v1/updates/ Dea7hSmiles] website or discord (&#039;&#039;&#039;Note&#039;&#039;&#039; - the newest update at this time is 8-2-25)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Open the zip file and extract (using [https://www.7-zip.org/download.html 7Zip]) the update to the root of your drive, overwriting any files it asks.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# Right click the &#039;&#039;Dea7hsmiles-Launchbox-All-In-One-Update(Recommended).zip&#039;&#039; file&lt;br /&gt;
# In the menu that opens click 7-Zip -&amp;gt; Open Archive (if using Windows 11, you first will have to click Show More Options at the bottom)&lt;br /&gt;
# Double Click the folder &amp;quot;Dea7hsmiles-Launchbox-All-In-One-Update 8-2-25 (Recommended)&amp;quot;. Highlight the files and drag and drop to the root of your drive where the previous files were extracted, clicking yes to overwrite any files:[[File:Allinoneupdate.png|none|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Wait for the extraction to finish. This can take many hours due to the size and speed of your devices&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Sinden Users Only&#039;&#039;&#039; -  After extracting the update - open the folder &amp;quot;Sinden Update (Install After All in One Update Sinden Only)&amp;quot;. Extract the zip file here to the root of your  drive, following the same instructions found above&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Step 3b - Download the 09-28-2025 update ===&lt;br /&gt;
Download the newest update dated 09-28-25 from the website [https://dea7hsmiles.com/all-guns-v1/updates/ Here], AutoHotKey is required to be installed prior to the below instructions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# Download AutoHotKey: https://www.autohotkey.com/download/ahk-v2.exe&lt;br /&gt;
# Run the installer and use the default settings&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once downloaded, open the &#039;&#039;Update&#039;&#039; zip file and copy the file &#039;&#039;Remove Old Files.ahk&#039;&#039; to the root of your install (do not extract everything at this time, just the script)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Run the &#039;&#039;Remove Old Files.ahk.&#039;&#039; Wait for it to finish&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Open the zip file and extract (using [https://www.7-zip.org/download.html 7Zip]) the update to the root of your drive, overwriting any files it asks.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Step 3c - (Sinden Users only) Download the 09-30-2025 update ===&lt;br /&gt;
Due to a few missing files in the most recent all in one update, download and extract the 09-30-2025 after the All in One Update&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# Right click the &#039;&#039;Dea7hsmiles-Launchbox-Build-Update-09-30-2025.zip&#039;&#039; file&lt;br /&gt;
# In the menu that opens click 7-Zip -&amp;gt; Extract Files... (if using Windows 11, you first will have to click Show More Options at the bottom)&lt;br /&gt;
# In the Extract to field, select your drive. Do not add additional folders\paths here. Also select Overwrite without prompt in the Overwrite Mode.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Step 3d - (Sinden Users only) Download the small update fix ===&lt;br /&gt;
In the discord - updates-automation-build channel, download the siden fix to prevent errors when running games&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Step 4 - Setup ===&lt;br /&gt;
Run the setup.exe. This installs software such as DirectX and AutoHotKey that are required to make the build function.&amp;lt;!--Ask Death - Need to put in sinden update stuff here i think as well. Not sure as i dont have them--&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# Navigate to the drive where the software has been extracted&lt;br /&gt;
# Click the Setup.exe file&lt;br /&gt;
# Follow along with the prompts that appear&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Setup.gif|alt=Installation animation|800x800px]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;NOTE&#039;&#039;&#039; - There is a bug in the current setup.exe (dated 8/2/25) that can cause an error to occur when setting up rpcs3 games. You can click OK on the error message and OK to continue the setup process&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This error will not prevent the build from working. Dea7hsmiles will fix this in a future update&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Step 5 - Set your COM ports ===&lt;br /&gt;
Set the correct COM ports for your Light Guns.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# Right click the Windows Start button on your taskbar and select Device Manager&lt;br /&gt;
# In the window that opens select &#039;&#039;Ports (COM &amp;amp; LPT)&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
# Right click on your light gun and select Properties&lt;br /&gt;
# In the window that opens, click Port Settings then Advanced&lt;br /&gt;
# In the window that opens, change the COM Port in use to the one identified in the chart below:&amp;lt;syntaxhighlight&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
COM Port Assignment List&lt;br /&gt;
OpenFire&lt;br /&gt;
Gun 1 → COM1&lt;br /&gt;
Gun 2 → COM2&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Blancom&lt;br /&gt;
Gun 1 → COM1&lt;br /&gt;
Gun 2 → COM2&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Gun4IR&lt;br /&gt;
Gun 1 → COM1&lt;br /&gt;
Gun 2 → COM2&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
XGunner&lt;br /&gt;
Gun 1 → COM1&lt;br /&gt;
Gun 2 → COM2&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
MX24&lt;br /&gt;
Gun 1 &amp;amp; 2 → COM5 (Hub)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
RS3 Reaper - Turn off recoil switch (set slider to the middle)&lt;br /&gt;
Hub → COM5&lt;br /&gt;
Gun 1 → COM6&lt;br /&gt;
Gun 2 → COM7&lt;br /&gt;
Gun 3 → COM8&lt;br /&gt;
Gun 4 → COM9&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/syntaxhighlight&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you have trouble finding what your player 1 and player 2 gun is under the Ports (Com &amp;amp; LPT) section, unplug the guns and plug them in one by one. The devices will disappear when unplugged and reappear when plugged back in&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Using the Software ==&lt;br /&gt;
This build uses software called LaunchBox to help with the automation and keep everything in one neatly organized interface. The base version of LaunchBox is free to use.&lt;br /&gt;

Due to a few missing files in the most recent all in one update, download and extract the 09-30-2025 after the All in One Update&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# Right click the &#039;&#039;Dea7hsmiles-Launchbox-Build-Update-09-30-2025.zip&#039;&#039; file&lt;br /&gt;
# In the menu that opens click 7-Zip -&amp;gt; Extract Files... (if using Windows 11, you first will have to click Show More Options at the bottom)&lt;br /&gt;
# In the Extract to field, select your drive. Do not add additional folders\paths here. Also select Overwrite without prompt in the Overwrite Mode.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Step 3d - (Sinden Users only) Download the small update fix ===&lt;br /&gt;
In the discord - updates-automation-build channel, download the siden fix to prevent errors when running games&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Step 4 - Setup ===&lt;br /&gt;
Run the setup.exe. This installs software such as DirectX and AutoHotKey that are required to make the build function.&amp;lt;!--Ask Death - Need to put in sinden update stuff here i think as well. Not sure as i dont have them--&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# Navigate to the drive where the software has been extracted&lt;br /&gt;
# Click the Setup.exe file&lt;br /&gt;
# Follow along with the prompts that appear&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Setup.gif|alt=Installation animation|800x800px]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;NOTE&#039;&#039;&#039; - There is a bug in the current setup.exe (dated 8/2/25) that can cause an error to occur when setting up rpcs3 games. You can click OK on the error message and OK to continue the setup process&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This error will not prevent the build from working. Dea7hsmiles will fix this in a future update&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Step 5 - Set your COM ports ===&lt;br /&gt;
Set the correct COM ports for your Light Guns.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# Right click the Windows Start button on your taskbar and select Device Manager&lt;br /&gt;
# In the window that opens select &#039;&#039;Ports (COM &amp;amp; LPT)&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
# Right click on your light gun and select Properties&lt;br /&gt;
# In the window that opens, click Port Settings then Advanced&lt;br /&gt;
# In the window that opens, change the COM Port in use to the one identified in the chart below:&amp;lt;syntaxhighlight&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
COM Port Assignment List&lt;br /&gt;
OpenFire&lt;br /&gt;
Gun 1 → COM1&lt;br /&gt;
Gun 2 → COM2&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Blancom&lt;br /&gt;
Gun 1 → COM1&lt;br /&gt;
Gun 2 → COM2&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Gun4IR&lt;br /&gt;
Gun 1 → COM1&lt;br /&gt;
Gun 2 → COM2&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
XGunner&lt;br /&gt;
Gun 1 → COM1&lt;br /&gt;
Gun 2 → COM2&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
MX24&lt;br /&gt;
Gun 1 &amp;amp; 2 → COM5 (Hub)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
RS3 Reaper - Turn off recoil switch (set slider to the middle)&lt;br /&gt;
Hub → COM5&lt;br /&gt;
Gun 1 → COM6&lt;br /&gt;
Gun 2 → COM7&lt;br /&gt;
Gun 3 → COM8&lt;br /&gt;
Gun 4 → COM9&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/syntaxhighlight&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you have trouble finding what your player 1 and player 2 gun is under the Ports (Com &amp;amp; LPT) section, unplug the guns and plug them in one by one. The devices will disappear when unplugged and reappear when plugged back in&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Using the Software ==&lt;br /&gt;
This build uses software called LaunchBox to help with the automation and keep everything in one neatly organized interface. The base version of LaunchBox is free to use.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
BigBox is a licensed piece of software from LaunchBox that provides a more sleek interface better suited to navigation with a controller. To use BigBox, you will be required to purchase a license from LaunchBox&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== LaunchBox ===&lt;br /&gt;
LaunchBox can be run by navigating to the Launchbox folder and selecting LaunchBox.exe&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:LaunchBox.png|537x537px]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== BigBox ===&lt;br /&gt;
BigBox can be run by navigating to the Launchbox folder and selecting BigBoxLightGunControl.exe. This is a customized version that better maps navigation to a light gun&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Bigbox_low_res.png|537x537px]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Hook of the Reaper/MameHooker ===&lt;br /&gt;
These are two similar pieces of software that provide output/feedback to your lightgun if supported (such as rumble/recoil/slide lock/led&#039;s/etc). While similar, Hook of the Reaper is a newer piece of software that is built to support more modern light guns and features&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Updating the Software ==&lt;br /&gt;
Dea7hSmiles releases updates for this build from time to time. There are 2 types of updates, the &#039;&#039;All in One Update&#039;&#039; and the much smaller I&#039;&#039;ndividual Updates&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you &#039;&#039;&#039;do not know&#039;&#039;&#039; what version of the build you are running, download the &#039;&#039;All in One Update&#039;&#039;! This update includes all updates released since the original build was released!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you know what update you last installed, you can download any subsequent smaller &#039;&#039;Individual Updates.&#039;&#039; You must download and install these updates in the order they were released&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== All In one Update ===&lt;br /&gt;
Download the newest &#039;&#039;All in one Update&#039;&#039; from [https://dea7hsmiles.com/725gb-Launchbox/Bigbox-Build-Updates/ Dea7hSmiles] website.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once downloaded, extract (using [https://www.7-zip.org/download.html 7Zip]) the update to the root of your drive, overwriting any files it asks.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Download the &#039;&#039;Individual Update(s)&#039;&#039; from [https://dea7hsmiles.com/725gb-Launchbox/Bigbox-Build-Updates/ Dea7hSmiles] website. Keep in mind you need to download and install the updates in the order they were released&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For example, if I am on the 5/7/2025 Update, I need to download and install the 5/16/2025 Update, then download and install the 8/2/2025 Update Once downloaded, extract (using [https://www.7-zip.org/download.html 7Zip]) the update to the root of your drive, overwriting any files it asks.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

		<summary type="html">&lt;p&gt;Dea7hsmiles: /* Step 3b - Download the 09-28-2025 update */&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Below are legacy instructions for the original Dea7hSmiles Lightgun Automated Build&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Original V1 setup instructions ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Step 1 - Setup your drive ===&lt;br /&gt;
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&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
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&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# If using Windows built in antivirus, you can exclude the drive by clicking the Search Bar and typing Virus &amp;amp; threat protection&lt;br /&gt;
# In the window that opens click Manage Settings under the header Virus &amp;amp; Threat protection settings&lt;br /&gt;
# Scroll down until you see Exclusions. Click Add or remove exclusions&lt;br /&gt;
# Click Add an exclusion -&amp;gt; Folder. Select the drive you will use for the build and click Select Folder&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If using an alternative anti-virus software, it is recommended to Google the instructions if you are not sure how&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Step 2 - Download the base package ===&lt;br /&gt;
Download the full base package from [https://www.arcadepunks.com/dea7hsmiles-all-guns-fully-loaded-730gb-light-gun-build/ Arcade Punks] or the [https://dea7hsmiles.com/Dea7hsmiles-Launchbox-Build/ Dea7hSmiles] website.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once downloaded, extract (using [https://www.7-zip.org/download.html 7Zip]) the software to the root of your drive. Do not add additional folders (such as &amp;quot;Light Gun Build&amp;quot;)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# Right click on the &#039;&#039;Dea7hsmiles Launchbox Build.rar&#039;&#039; file&lt;br /&gt;
# In the menu that opens click 7-Zip -&amp;gt; Extract Files... (if using Windows 11, you first will have to click Show More Options at the bottom)&lt;br /&gt;
# In the Extract to field, select your drive. Do not add additional folders\paths here. The final result should look similar to below:[[File:Directory.png|none|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Wait for the extraction to finish. This can take many hours due to the size and speed of your devices.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
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!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Step 3a - Download the All in One Update ===&lt;br /&gt;
Download the newest &#039;&#039;All in one Update&#039;&#039; from [https://dea7hsmiles.com/all-guns-v1/updates/ Dea7hSmiles] website or discord (&#039;&#039;&#039;Note&#039;&#039;&#039; - the newest update at this time is 8-2-25)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Open the zip file and extract (using [https://www.7-zip.org/download.html 7Zip]) the update to the root of your drive, overwriting any files it asks.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# Right click the &#039;&#039;Dea7hsmiles-Launchbox-All-In-One-Update(Recommended).zip&#039;&#039; file&lt;br /&gt;
# In the menu that opens click 7-Zip -&amp;gt; Open Archive (if using Windows 11, you first will have to click Show More Options at the bottom)&lt;br /&gt;
# Double Click the folder &amp;quot;Dea7hsmiles-Launchbox-All-In-One-Update 8-2-25 (Recommended)&amp;quot;. Highlight the files and drag and drop to the root of your drive where the previous files were extracted, clicking yes to overwrite any files:[[File:Allinoneupdate.png|none|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Wait for the extraction to finish. This can take many hours due to the size and speed of your devices&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Sinden Users Only&#039;&#039;&#039; -  After extracting the update - open the folder &amp;quot;Sinden Update (Install After All in One Update Sinden Only)&amp;quot;. Extract the zip file here to the root of your  drive, following the same instructions found above&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Step 3b - Download the 09-28-2025 update ===&lt;br /&gt;
Download the newest update dated 09-28-25 from the website or [https://dea7hsmiles.com/all-guns-v1/updates/ Here], AutoHotKey is required to be installed prior to the below instructions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# Download AutoHotKey: https://www.autohotkey.com/download/ahk-v2.exe&lt;br /&gt;
# Run the installer and use the default settings&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once downloaded, open the &#039;&#039;Update&#039;&#039; zip file and copy the file &#039;&#039;Remove Old Files.ahk&#039;&#039; to the root of your install (do not extract everything at this time, just the script)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Run the &#039;&#039;Remove Old Files.ahk.&#039;&#039; Wait for it to finish&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Open the zip file and extract (using [https://www.7-zip.org/download.html 7Zip]) the update to the root of your drive, overwriting any files it asks.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Step 3c - (Sinden Users only) Download the 09-30-2025 update ===&lt;br /&gt;
Due to a few missing files in the most recent all in one update, download and extract the 09-30-2025 after the All in One Update&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# Right click the &#039;&#039;Dea7hsmiles-Launchbox-Build-Update-09-30-2025.zip&#039;&#039; file&lt;br /&gt;
# In the menu that opens click 7-Zip -&amp;gt; Extract Files... (if using Windows 11, you first will have to click Show More Options at the bottom)&lt;br /&gt;
# In the Extract to field, select your drive. Do not add additional folders\paths here. Also select Overwrite without prompt in the Overwrite Mode.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Step 3d - (Sinden Users only) Download the small update fix ===&lt;br /&gt;
In the discord - updates-automation-build channel, download the siden fix to prevent errors when running games&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Step 4 - Setup ===&lt;br /&gt;
Run the setup.exe. This installs software such as DirectX and AutoHotKey that are required to make the build function.&amp;lt;!--Ask Death - Need to put in sinden update stuff here i think as well. Not sure as i dont have them--&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# Navigate to the drive where the software has been extracted&lt;br /&gt;
# Click the Setup.exe file&lt;br /&gt;
# Follow along with the prompts that appear&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Setup.gif|alt=Installation animation|800x800px]]&lt;br /&gt;

If using an alternative anti-virus software, it is recommended to Google the instructions if you are not sure how&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Step 2 - Download the base package ===&lt;br /&gt;
Download the full base package from [https://www.arcadepunks.com/dea7hsmiles-all-guns-fully-loaded-730gb-light-gun-build/ Arcade Punks] or the [https://dea7hsmiles.com/Dea7hsmiles-Launchbox-Build/ Dea7hSmiles] website.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once downloaded, extract (using [https://www.7-zip.org/download.html 7Zip]) the software to the root of your drive. Do not add additional folders (such as &amp;quot;Light Gun Build&amp;quot;)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# Right click on the &#039;&#039;Dea7hsmiles Launchbox Build.rar&#039;&#039; file&lt;br /&gt;
# In the menu that opens click 7-Zip -&amp;gt; Extract Files... (if using Windows 11, you first will have to click Show More Options at the bottom)&lt;br /&gt;
# In the Extract to field, select your drive. Do not add additional folders\paths here. The final result should look similar to below:[[File:Directory.png|none|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Wait for the extraction to finish. This can take many hours due to the size and speed of your devices.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
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!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Step 3a - Download the All in One Update ===&lt;br /&gt;
Download the newest &#039;&#039;All in one Update&#039;&#039; from [https://dea7hsmiles.com/all-guns-v1/updates/ Dea7hSmiles] website or discord (&#039;&#039;&#039;Note&#039;&#039;&#039; - the newest update at this time is 8-2-25)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Open the zip file and extract (using [https://www.7-zip.org/download.html 7Zip]) the update to the root of your drive, overwriting any files it asks.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# Right click the &#039;&#039;Dea7hsmiles-Launchbox-All-In-One-Update(Recommended).zip&#039;&#039; file&lt;br /&gt;
# In the menu that opens click 7-Zip -&amp;gt; Open Archive (if using Windows 11, you first will have to click Show More Options at the bottom)&lt;br /&gt;
# Double Click the folder &amp;quot;Dea7hsmiles-Launchbox-All-In-One-Update 8-2-25 (Recommended)&amp;quot;. Highlight the files and drag and drop to the root of your drive where the previous files were extracted, clicking yes to overwrite any files:[[File:Allinoneupdate.png|none|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Wait for the extraction to finish. This can take many hours due to the size and speed of your devices&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Sinden Users Only&#039;&#039;&#039; -  After extracting the update - open the folder &amp;quot;Sinden Update (Install After All in One Update Sinden Only)&amp;quot;. Extract the zip file here to the root of your  drive, following the same instructions found above&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Step 3b - Download the 09-28-2025 update ===&lt;br /&gt;
Download the newest update dated 09-28-25 from the website or [https://dea7hsmiles.com/all-guns-v1/updates], AutoHotKey is required to be installed prior to the below instructions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# Download AutoHotKey: https://www.autohotkey.com/download/ahk-v2.exe&lt;br /&gt;
# Run the installer and use the default settings&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once downloaded, open the &#039;&#039;Update&#039;&#039; zip file and copy the file &#039;&#039;Remove Old Files.ahk&#039;&#039; to the root of your install (do not extract everything at this time, just the script)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Run the &#039;&#039;Remove Old Files.ahk.&#039;&#039; Wait for it to finish&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Open the zip file and extract (using [https://www.7-zip.org/download.html 7Zip]) the update to the root of your drive, overwriting any files it asks.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Step 3c - (Sinden Users only) Download the 09-30-2025 update ===&lt;br /&gt;
Due to a few missing files in the most recent all in one update, download and extract the 09-30-2025 after the All in One Update&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# Right click the &#039;&#039;Dea7hsmiles-Launchbox-Build-Update-09-30-2025.zip&#039;&#039; file&lt;br /&gt;
# In the menu that opens click 7-Zip -&amp;gt; Extract Files... (if using Windows 11, you first will have to click Show More Options at the bottom)&lt;br /&gt;
# In the Extract to field, select your drive. Do not add additional folders\paths here. Also select Overwrite without prompt in the Overwrite Mode.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Step 3d - (Sinden Users only) Download the small update fix ===&lt;br /&gt;
In the discord - updates-automation-build channel, download the siden fix to prevent errors when running games&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Step 4 - Setup ===&lt;br /&gt;
Run the setup.exe. This installs software such as DirectX and AutoHotKey that are required to make the build function.&amp;lt;!--Ask Death - Need to put in sinden update stuff here i think as well. Not sure as i dont have them--&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# Navigate to the drive where the software has been extracted&lt;br /&gt;
# Click the Setup.exe file&lt;br /&gt;
# Follow along with the prompts that appear&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Setup.gif|alt=Installation animation|800x800px]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;NOTE&#039;&#039;&#039; - There is a bug in the current setup.exe (dated 8/2/25) that can cause an error to occur when setting up rpcs3 games. You can click OK on the error message and OK to continue the setup process&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This error will not prevent the build from working. Dea7hsmiles will fix this in a future update&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Step 5 - Set your COM ports ===&lt;br /&gt;
Set the correct COM ports for your Light Guns.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# Right click the Windows Start button on your taskbar and select Device Manager&lt;br /&gt;
# In the window that opens select &#039;&#039;Ports (COM &amp;amp; LPT)&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
# Right click on your light gun and select Properties&lt;br /&gt;
# In the window that opens, click Port Settings then Advanced&lt;br /&gt;
# In the window that opens, change the COM Port in use to the one identified in the chart below:&amp;lt;syntaxhighlight&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
COM Port Assignment List&lt;br /&gt;
OpenFire&lt;br /&gt;
Gun 1 → COM1&lt;br /&gt;
Gun 2 → COM2&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Blancom&lt;br /&gt;
Gun 1 → COM1&lt;br /&gt;
Gun 2 → COM2&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Gun4IR&lt;br /&gt;
Gun 1 → COM1&lt;br /&gt;
Gun 2 → COM2&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
XGunner&lt;br /&gt;
Gun 1 → COM1&lt;br /&gt;
Gun 2 → COM2&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
MX24&lt;br /&gt;
Gun 1 &amp;amp; 2 → COM5 (Hub)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
RS3 Reaper - Turn off recoil switch (set slider to the middle)&lt;br /&gt;
Hub → COM5&lt;br /&gt;
Gun 1 → COM6&lt;br /&gt;
Gun 2 → COM7&lt;br /&gt;
Gun 3 → COM8&lt;br /&gt;
Gun 4 → COM9&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/syntaxhighlight&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you have trouble finding what your player 1 and player 2 gun is under the Ports (Com &amp;amp; LPT) section, unplug the guns and plug them in one by one. The devices will disappear when unplugged and reappear when plugged back in&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Using the Software ==&lt;br /&gt;
This build uses software called LaunchBox to help with the automation and keep everything in one neatly organized interface. The base version of LaunchBox is free to use.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
BigBox is a licensed piece of software from LaunchBox that provides a more sleek interface better suited to navigation with a controller. To use BigBox, you will be required to purchase a license from LaunchBox&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== LaunchBox ===&lt;br /&gt;
LaunchBox can be run by navigating to the Launchbox folder and selecting LaunchBox.exe&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:LaunchBox.png|537x537px]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== BigBox ===&lt;br /&gt;
BigBox can be run by navigating to the Launchbox folder and selecting BigBoxLightGunControl.exe. This is a customized version that better maps navigation to a light gun&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Bigbox_low_res.png|537x537px]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Hook of the Reaper/MameHooker ===&lt;br /&gt;
These are two similar pieces of software that provide output/feedback to your lightgun if supported (such as rumble/recoil/slide lock/led&#039;s/etc). While similar, Hook of the Reaper is a newer piece of software that is built to support more modern light guns and features&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Updating the Software ==&lt;br /&gt;
Dea7hSmiles releases updates for this build from time to time. There are 2 types of updates, the &#039;&#039;All in One Update&#039;&#039; and the much smaller I&#039;&#039;ndividual Updates&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you &#039;&#039;&#039;do not know&#039;&#039;&#039; what version of the build you are running, download the &#039;&#039;All in One Update&#039;&#039;! This update includes all updates released since the original build was released!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you know what update you last installed, you can download any subsequent smaller &#039;&#039;Individual Updates.&#039;&#039; You must download and install these updates in the order they were released&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== All In one Update ===&lt;br /&gt;
Download the newest &#039;&#039;All in one Update&#039;&#039; from [https://dea7hsmiles.com/725gb-Launchbox/Bigbox-Build-Updates/ Dea7hSmiles] website.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Below are legacy instructions for the original Dea7hSmiles Lightgun Automated Build&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Original V1 setup instructions ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Step 1 - Setup your drive ===&lt;br /&gt;
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&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
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&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# If using Windows built in antivirus, you can exclude the drive by clicking the Search Bar and typing Virus &amp;amp; threat protection&lt;br /&gt;
# In the window that opens click Manage Settings under the header Virus &amp;amp; Threat protection settings&lt;br /&gt;
# Scroll down until you see Exclusions. Click Add or remove exclusions&lt;br /&gt;
# Click Add an exclusion -&amp;gt; Folder. Select the drive you will use for the build and click Select Folder&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If using an alternative anti-virus software, it is recommended to Google the instructions if you are not sure how&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Step 2 - Download the base package ===&lt;br /&gt;
Download the full base package from [https://www.arcadepunks.com/dea7hsmiles-all-guns-fully-loaded-730gb-light-gun-build/ Arcade Punks] or the [https://dea7hsmiles.com/Dea7hsmiles-Launchbox-Build/ Dea7hSmiles] website.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once downloaded, extract (using [https://www.7-zip.org/download.html 7Zip]) the software to the root of your drive. Do not add additional folders (such as &amp;quot;Light Gun Build&amp;quot;)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# Right click on the &#039;&#039;Dea7hsmiles Launchbox Build.rar&#039;&#039; file&lt;br /&gt;
# In the menu that opens click 7-Zip -&amp;gt; Extract Files... (if using Windows 11, you first will have to click Show More Options at the bottom)&lt;br /&gt;
# In the Extract to field, select your drive. Do not add additional folders\paths here. The final result should look similar to below:[[File:Directory.png|none|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Wait for the extraction to finish. This can take many hours due to the size and speed of your devices.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
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!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Step 3a - Download the All in One Update ===&lt;br /&gt;
Download the newest &#039;&#039;All in one Update&#039;&#039; from [https://dea7hsmiles.com/all-guns-v1/updates/ Dea7hSmiles] website or discord (&#039;&#039;&#039;Note&#039;&#039;&#039; - the newest update at this time is 8-2-25)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Open the zip file and extract (using [https://www.7-zip.org/download.html 7Zip]) the update to the root of your drive, overwriting any files it asks.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# Right click the &#039;&#039;Dea7hsmiles-Launchbox-All-In-One-Update(Recommended).zip&#039;&#039; file&lt;br /&gt;
# In the menu that opens click 7-Zip -&amp;gt; Open Archive (if using Windows 11, you first will have to click Show More Options at the bottom)&lt;br /&gt;
# Double Click the folder &amp;quot;Dea7hsmiles-Launchbox-All-In-One-Update 8-2-25 (Recommended)&amp;quot;. Highlight the files and drag and drop to the root of your drive where the previous files were extracted, clicking yes to overwrite any files:[[File:Allinoneupdate.png|none|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Wait for the extraction to finish. This can take many hours due to the size and speed of your devices&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Sinden Users Only&#039;&#039;&#039; -  After extracting the update - open the folder &amp;quot;Sinden Update (Install After All in One Update Sinden Only)&amp;quot;. Extract the zip file here to the root of your  drive, following the same instructions found above&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Step 3b - Download the 09-28-2025 update ===&lt;br /&gt;
The newest update dated 09-28-25 is currently only listed on the discord Due to some recent updates, AutoHotKey is required to be installed prior to the below instructions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# Download AutoHotKey: https://www.autohotkey.com/download/ahk-v2.exe&lt;br /&gt;
# Run the installer and use the default settings&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once downloaded, open the &#039;&#039;Update&#039;&#039; zip file and copy the file &#039;&#039;Remove Old Files.ahk&#039;&#039; to the root of your install (do not extract everything at this time, just the script)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Run the &#039;&#039;Remove Old Files.ahk.&#039;&#039; Wait for it to finish&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Open the zip file and extract (using [https://www.7-zip.org/download.html 7Zip]) the update to the root of your drive, overwriting any files it asks.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Step 3c - (Sinden Users only) Download the 09-30-2025 update ===&lt;br /&gt;
Due to a few missing files in the most recent all in one update, download and extract the 09-30-2025 after the All in One Update&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# Right click the &#039;&#039;Dea7hsmiles-Launchbox-Build-Update-09-30-2025.zip&#039;&#039; file&lt;br /&gt;
# In the menu that opens click 7-Zip -&amp;gt; Extract Files... (if using Windows 11, you first will have to click Show More Options at the bottom)&lt;br /&gt;
# In the Extract to field, select your drive. Do not add additional folders\paths here. Also select Overwrite without prompt in the Overwrite Mode.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Step 3d - (Sinden Users only) Download the small update fix ===&lt;br /&gt;
In the discord - updates-automation-build channel, download the siden fix to prevent errors when running games&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Step 4 - Setup ===&lt;br /&gt;
Run the setup.exe. This installs software such as DirectX and AutoHotKey that are required to make the build function.&amp;lt;!--Ask Death - Need to put in sinden update stuff here i think as well. Not sure as i dont have them--&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# Navigate to the drive where the software has been extracted&lt;br /&gt;
# Click the Setup.exe file&lt;br /&gt;
# Follow along with the prompts that appear&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Setup.gif|alt=Installation animation|800x800px]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;NOTE&#039;&#039;&#039; - There is a bug in the current setup.exe (dated 8/2/25) that can cause an error to occur when setting up rpcs3 games. You can click OK on the error message and OK to continue the setup process&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This error will not prevent the build from working. Dea7hsmiles will fix this in a future update&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Step 5 - Set your COM ports ===&lt;br /&gt;
Set the correct COM ports for your Light Guns.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# Right click the Windows Start button on your taskbar and select Device Manager&lt;br /&gt;
# In the window that opens select &#039;&#039;Ports (COM &amp;amp; LPT)&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
# Right click on your light gun and select Properties&lt;br /&gt;
# In the window that opens, click Port Settings then Advanced&lt;br /&gt;
# In the window that opens, change the COM Port in use to the one identified in the chart below:&amp;lt;syntaxhighlight&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Gun 1 &amp;amp; 2 → COM5 (Hub)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
RS3 Reaper - Turn off recoil switch (set slider to the middle)&lt;br /&gt;
Hub → COM5&lt;br /&gt;
Gun 1 → COM6&lt;br /&gt;
Gun 2 → COM7&lt;br /&gt;
Gun 3 → COM8&lt;br /&gt;
Gun 4 → COM9&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/syntaxhighlight&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you have trouble finding what your player 1 and player 2 gun is under the Ports (Com &amp;amp; LPT) section, unplug the guns and plug them in one by one. The devices will disappear when unplugged and reappear when plugged back in&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Dea7hSmiles releases updates for this build from time to time. There are 2 types of updates, the &#039;&#039;All in One Update&#039;&#039; and the much smaller I&#039;&#039;ndividual Updates&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you &#039;&#039;&#039;do not know&#039;&#039;&#039; what version of the build you are running, download the &#039;&#039;All in One Update&#039;&#039;! This update includes all updates released since the original build was released!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you know what update you last installed, you can download any subsequent smaller &#039;&#039;Individual Updates.&#039;&#039; You must download and install these updates in the order they were released&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== All In one Update ===&lt;br /&gt;
Download the newest &#039;&#039;All in one Update&#039;&#039; from [https://dea7hsmiles.com/725gb-Launchbox/Bigbox-Build-Updates/ Dea7hSmiles] website.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once downloaded, extract (using [https://www.7-zip.org/download.html 7Zip]) the update to the root of your drive, overwriting any files it asks.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# Right click the &#039;&#039;Dea7hsmiles-Launchbox-All-In-One-Update(Recommended).zip&#039;&#039; file&lt;br /&gt;
# In the menu that opens click 7-Zip -&amp;gt; Extract Files... (if using Windows 11, you first will have to click Show More Options at the bottom)&lt;br /&gt;
# In the Extract to field, select your drive. Do not add additional folders\paths here. Also select Overwrite without prompt in the Overwrite Mode.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Individual Updates ===&lt;br /&gt;
Download the &#039;&#039;Individual Update(s)&#039;&#039; from [https://dea7hsmiles.com/725gb-Launchbox/Bigbox-Build-Updates/ Dea7hSmiles] website. Keep in mind you need to download and install the updates in the order they were released&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For example, if I am on the 5/7/2025 Update, I need to download and install the 5/16/2025 Update, then download and install the 8/2/2025 Update Once downloaded, extract (using [https://www.7-zip.org/download.html 7Zip]) the update to the root of your drive, overwriting any files it asks.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# Right click the &#039;&#039;Dea7hsmiles-Launchbox-Build-Update-(Recommended).zip&#039;&#039; file&lt;br /&gt;
# In the menu that opens click 7-Zip -&amp;gt; Extract Files... (if using Windows 11, you first will have to click Show More Options at the bottom)&lt;br /&gt;
# In the Extract to field, select your drive. Do not add additional folders\paths here. Also select Overwrite without prompt in the Overwrite Mode.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Built In Updater ===&lt;br /&gt;
The built in updater only downloads the latest &#039;&#039;All In One Update.&#039;&#039; It does not install this update. Follow the instructions for the &#039;&#039;All In One Update&#039;&#039; above to extract the update&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;br /&gt;
Guns: RS3 Reapers&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# Opened joy.cpl in Windows.&lt;br /&gt;
# Ran &#039;&#039;Game Controller Order&#039;&#039; with the new settings.ini (https://discord.com/channels/1324573261832650795/1324573261832650798/1477200464893186059)&lt;br /&gt;
# Rebooted (make sure all the Reapers are plugged in).&lt;br /&gt;
# Ran LaunchBox.&lt;br /&gt;
# Ran the one-click script.&lt;br /&gt;
# Double-checked that everything was assigned correctly. The quickest way for me was to check the &#039;&#039;UserProfiles&#039;&#039; folder in TeknoParrot. Just open one of the config files there and check if P1 Lightgun is assigned correctly to 5750 and P2 to 5751.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Couple things to note:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* For my config, I had to do P2 first, then P1 in the order shown in joy.cpl (https://discord.com/channels/1324573261832650795/1477346310938956081/1479365205602471988)&lt;br /&gt;
* When running the one-click script, it gives that prompt box, but I clicked &#039;&#039;&#039;No&#039;&#039;&#039; on it. I don’t know if that was what helped or not. (https://discord.com/channels/1324573261832650795/1477346310938956081/1479365260036018186)&lt;br /&gt;

 |title=Auto-switch resolution per game (Luigi’s Mansion example)&lt;br /&gt;
 |author=DJ_GLiTCH&lt;br /&gt;
 |date=May 6, 2025&lt;br /&gt;
 |source=https://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/qres.html&lt;br /&gt;
 |affected=Windows • TeknoParrot&lt;br /&gt;
 |summary=&lt;br /&gt;
This code will dynamically change your monitor resolution if you have issues with games not being fullscreen or scaling incorrectly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The code is stored in Launchbox emulator settings, under &amp;quot;Running Script&amp;quot; for Teknoparrot.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You&#039;ll need QRes.exe to make this work too (download link below). No install required, just copy QRes.exe into a folder you&#039;d like to save it in.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Change the directory path in the code to suit where you have saved QRes.exe&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Note: 1: The resolution and refresh rates are tailored to my monitor (4k 240hz). If you have a different refresh rate you want to use across all resolutions, change /r:240 to be what you need (240 = 240hz, 120 = 120hz, 60 = 60hz, etc.). The resolution is self-explanatory, and is in the ChangeResolution(x,y) loop section.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Note 2: I&#039;ve only populated Luigi&#039;s Mansion so far but will add more games later, and will try to make the original resolution and hz more smart (currently I hard code 4k 240hz).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Note 3: If you have any issues, try setting your display scaling to 100%.&lt;br /&gt;

 |title=Stabilize RS3 Reapers when MAMEHooker config drift happens&lt;br /&gt;
 |author=ChrisTucker&lt;br /&gt;
 |date=June 15, 2025&lt;br /&gt;
 |source=&lt;br /&gt;
 |affected=RS3 Reapers • MAMEHooker • HOTR (untested)&lt;br /&gt;
 |summary=&lt;br /&gt;
Hello! @dea7hsmiles thank you so much! me and my wife love playing all these awesome games. I have some tips for peeps like me with RS3 reapers&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some tips for peeps with RS3&#039;s, who use only mame&amp;amp;#8203;hooker and who suffer from occasional &amp;quot;config drift&amp;quot; e.g. gun 1 recoils gun 2, gun 2 and gun 1 fire at the same time etc. This may work for HOTR if you run those scr&amp;amp;#8203;ipts instead but that&#039;s untested my end&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If your guns start to get confused try this (assuming everything was working before on all systems and com ports set to correct port for each device):&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1: Reboot PC&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2: Go into launchbox/emulators/demulshooter and check that guns are in correct player e.g. gun1 registers as player 1 and gun 2 player 2&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3: Config lightguns from gun software in tools folder, do each gun&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4: Run &amp;quot;set emulator to mame&amp;amp;#8203;hooker scr&amp;amp;#8203;ipt&amp;quot; - as administrator&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
5: Run &amp;quot;config guns for RS3 reapers&amp;quot; scr&amp;amp;#8203;ipt - as administrator&lt;br /&gt;
Everything should now work if it did before&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Pre-requisites &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1: Antivirus disabled on download location/including temp folder of zip download (AV can zap stuff as it downloads otherwise) &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2: Disable AV for root of drive or it will zap stuff as it runs &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3: COM ports setup correctly and settings surviving reboots (you can achieve this by turning things on the same way each time - for me I turn on the PC then the hub once booted with both guns attached - having both guns attached at both times if you have 2x RS3&#039;s seems to stop it getting mixed up) &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4: Don&#039;t do the above with LaunchBox or BigBox open, or it won&#039;t work do the above then open the front end I&#039;m getting consistent results with the above and having it stable really shows off how amazing this build is - absolutely love it&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Enjoy guys!&lt;br /&gt;

6. Double check things were assigned correctly. Quickest way for me is to check userprofiles folder in teknoparrot. Just open one of the config files there and check if p1 lightgun is assigned correctly to 5750 and p2 to 5751&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Couple things to note:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- for my config, I had to do p2 then p1 order that you see in joy.cpl (https://discord.com/channels/1324573261832650795/1477346310938956081/1479365205602471988)&lt;br /&gt;
- when running the one click script script, it gives that prompt box but I clicked no on it. Don’t know if that was what helped me or not (https://discord.com/channels/1324573261832650795/1477346310938956081/1479365260036018186)&lt;br /&gt;

 |summary=&lt;br /&gt;
This code will dynamically change your monitor resolution if you have issues with games not being fullscreen or scaling incorrectly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The code is stored in Launchbox emulator settings, under &amp;quot;Running Script&amp;quot; for Teknoparrot.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You&#039;ll need QRes.exe to make this work too (download link below). No install required, just copy QRes.exe into a folder you&#039;d like to save it in.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Change the directory path in the code to suit where you have saved QRes.exe&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Note: 1: The resolution and refresh rates are tailored to my monitor (4k 240hz). If you have a different refresh rate you want to use across all resolutions, change /r:240 to be what you need (240 = 240hz, 120 = 120hz, 60 = 60hz, etc.). The resolution is self-explanatory, and is in the ChangeResolution(x,y) loop section.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Note 2: I&#039;ve only populated Luigi&#039;s Mansion so far but will add more games later, and will try to make the original resolution and hz more smart (currently I hard code 4k 240hz).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Note 3: If you have any issues, try setting your display scaling to 100%.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

 |author=ChrisTucker&lt;br /&gt;
 |date=June 15, 2025&lt;br /&gt;
 |source=&lt;br /&gt;
 |affected=RS3 Reapers • MAMEHooker • HOTR (untested)&lt;br /&gt;
 |summary=&lt;br /&gt;
Hello! @dea7hsmiles thank you so much! me and my wife love playing all these awesome games. I have some tips for peeps like me with RS3 reapers&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some tips for peeps with RS3&#039;s, who use only mame&amp;amp;#8203;hooker and who suffer from occasional &amp;quot;config drift&amp;quot; e.g. gun 1 recoils gun 2, gun 2 and gun 1 fire at the same time etc. This may work for HOTR if you run those scr&amp;amp;#8203;ipts instead but that&#039;s untested my end&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If your guns start to get confused try this (assuming everything was working before on all systems and com ports set to correct port for each device):&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1: Reboot PC&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2: Go into launchbox/emulators/demulshooter and check that guns are in correct player e.g. gun1 registers as player 1 and gun 2 player 2&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3: Config lightguns from gun software in tools folder, do each gun&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4: Run &amp;quot;set emulator to mame&amp;amp;#8203;hooker scr&amp;amp;#8203;ipt&amp;quot; - as administrator&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
5: Run &amp;quot;config guns for RS3 reapers&amp;quot; scr&amp;amp;#8203;ipt - as administrator&lt;br /&gt;
Everything should now work if it did before&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Pre-requisites &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1: Antivirus disabled on download location/including temp folder of zip download (AV can zap stuff as it downloads otherwise) &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2: Disable AV for root of drive or it will zap stuff as it runs &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3: COM ports setup correctly and settings surviving reboots (you can achieve this by turning things on the same way each time - for me I turn on the PC then the hub once booted with both guns attached - having both guns attached at both times if you have 2x RS3&#039;s seems to stop it getting mixed up) &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4: Don&#039;t do the above with LaunchBox or BigBox open, or it won&#039;t work do the above then open the front end I&#039;m getting consistent results with the above and having it stable really shows off how amazing this build is - absolutely love it&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Enjoy guys!&lt;br /&gt;

Hello! @dea7hsmiles thank you so much! me and my wife love playing all these awesome games. I have some tips for peeps like me with RS3 reapers&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some tips for peeps with RS3&#039;s, who use only mame&amp;amp;#8203;hooker and who suffer from occasional &amp;quot;config drift&amp;quot; e.g. gun 1 recoils gun 2, gun 2 and gun 1 fire at the same time etc. This may work for HOTR if you run those scr&amp;amp;#8203;ipts instead but that&#039;s untested my end&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;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&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
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&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Download and Installation ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Step 1 - Setup your drive ===&lt;br /&gt;
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&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
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&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# If using Windows built in antivirus, you can exclude the drive by clicking the Search Bar and typing Virus &amp;amp; threat protection&lt;br /&gt;
# In the window that opens click Manage Settings under the header Virus &amp;amp; Threat protection settings&lt;br /&gt;
# Scroll down until you see Exclusions. Click Add or remove exclusions&lt;br /&gt;
# Click Add an exclusion -&amp;gt; Folder. Select the drive you will use for the build and click Select Folder&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If using an alternative anti-virus software, it is recommended to Google the instructions if you are not sure how&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Step 2 - Download the base package ===&lt;br /&gt;
Download the full All Guns V2 base package from [https://www.dea7hsmiles.com/ Dea7hSmiles] or [https://www.arcadepunks.com/dea7hsmiles-all-guns-v2-lightgun-build/ Arcade Punks]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once downloaded, extract (using 7Zip) the software to the root of your drive. Do not add additional folders (such as &amp;quot;Light Gun Build&amp;quot;)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# Right click on the &#039;&#039;Dea7hsmiles Launchbox Build.rar&#039;&#039; file&lt;br /&gt;
# In the menu that opens click 7-Zip -&amp;gt; Extract Files... (if using Windows 11, you first will have to click Show More Options at the bottom)&lt;br /&gt;
# In the Extract to field, select your drive. Do not add additional folders\paths here. The final result should look similar to below:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Wait for the extraction to finish. This can take many hours due to the size and speed of your devices.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
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!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Step 3 - Download the updated &amp;quot;Build Updater&amp;quot; ===&lt;br /&gt;
There is a newer version of the build updater that has been posted to the Discord. Download it here: https://dea7hsmiles.kallisto.usbx.me/nextcloud/s/9E4gQpLN8i97m2J/download/Dea7hsmiles%20Build%20Updater%20V2%202-27-26.zip&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;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&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
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&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Download and Installation ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Step 1 - Setup your drive ===&lt;br /&gt;
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&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
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&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# If using Windows built in antivirus, you can exclude the drive by clicking the Search Bar and typing Virus &amp;amp; threat protection&lt;br /&gt;
# In the window that opens click Manage Settings under the header Virus &amp;amp; Threat protection settings&lt;br /&gt;
# Scroll down until you see Exclusions. Click Add or remove exclusions&lt;br /&gt;
# Click Add an exclusion -&amp;gt; Folder. Select the drive you will use for the build and click Select Folder&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;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&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
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&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Download and Installation ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Step 1 - Setup your drive ===&lt;br /&gt;
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&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
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&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# If using Windows built in antivirus, you can exclude the drive by clicking the Search Bar and typing Virus &amp;amp; threat protection&lt;br /&gt;
# In the window that opens click Manage Settings under the header Virus &amp;amp; Threat protection settings&lt;br /&gt;

# Click Add an exclusion -&amp;gt; Folder. Select the drive you will use for the build and click Select Folder&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If using an alternative anti-virus software, it is recommended to Google the instructions if you are not sure how&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Step 2 - Download the base package ===&lt;br /&gt;
Download the full base package from [https://www.arcadepunks.com/dea7hsmiles-all-guns-v2-lightgun-build/ Arcade Punks] or the [https://www.dea7hsmiles.com/ Dea7hSmiles] website.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once downloaded, extract (using 7Zip) the software to the root of your drive. Do not add additional folders (such as &amp;quot;Light Gun Build&amp;quot;)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# Right click on the &#039;&#039;Dea7hsmiles Launchbox Build.rar&#039;&#039; file&lt;br /&gt;
# In the menu that opens click 7-Zip -&amp;gt; Extract Files... (if using Windows 11, you first will have to click Show More Options at the bottom)&lt;br /&gt;
# In the Extract to field, select your drive. Do not add additional folders\paths here. The final result should look similar to below:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Wait for the extraction to finish. This can take many hours due to the size and speed of your devices.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
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!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Step 3 - Download the updated &amp;quot;Build Updater&amp;quot; ===&lt;br /&gt;

 |title=Auto-switch resolution per game (Luigi’s Mansion example)&lt;br /&gt;
 |author=DJ_GLiTCH&lt;br /&gt;
 |date=May 6, 2025&lt;br /&gt;
 |source=https://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/qres.html&lt;br /&gt;
 |affected=Windows • TeknoParrot&lt;br /&gt;
 |summary=&lt;br /&gt;
This code will dynamically change your monitor resolution if you have issues with games not being fullscreen or scaling incorrectly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The code is stored in Launchbox emulator settings, under &amp;quot;Running Script&amp;quot; for Teknoparrot.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You&#039;ll need QRes.exe to make this work too (download link below). No install required, just copy QRes.exe into a folder you&#039;d like to save it in.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Change the directory path in the code to suit where you have saved QRes.exe&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Note: 1: The resolution and refresh rates are tailored to my monitor (4k 240hz). If you have a different refresh rate you want to use across all resolutions, change /r:240 to be what you need (240 = 240hz, 120 = 120hz, 60 = 60hz, etc.). The resolution is self-explanatory, and is in the ChangeResolution(x,y) loop section.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Note 2: I&#039;ve only populated Luigi&#039;s Mansion so far but will add more games later, and will try to make the original resolution and hz more smart (currently I hard code 4k 240hz).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Note 3: If you have any issues, try setting your display scaling to 100%.&lt;br /&gt;

 |title=Stabilize RS3 Reapers when MAMEHooker config drift happens&lt;br /&gt;
 |author=ChrisTucker&lt;br /&gt;
 |date=June 15, 2025&lt;br /&gt;
 |source=&lt;br /&gt;
 |affected=RS3 Reapers • MAMEHooker • HOTR (untested)&lt;br /&gt;
 |summary=&lt;br /&gt;
Hello! @dea7hsmiles thank you so much! me and my wife love playing all these awesome games. I have some tips for peeps like me with RS3 reapers&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some tips for peeps with RS3&#039;s, who use only mame&amp;amp;#8203;hooker and who suffer from occasional &amp;quot;config drift&amp;quot; e.g. gun 1 recoils gun 2, gun 2 and gun 1 fire at the same time etc. This may work for HOTR if you run those scr&amp;amp;#8203;ipts instead but that&#039;s untested my end&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If your guns start to get confused try this (assuming everything was working before on all systems and com ports set to correct port for each device):&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1: Reboot PC&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2: Go into launchbox/emulators/demulshooter and check that guns are in correct player e.g. gun1 registers as player 1 and gun 2 player 2&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3: Config lightguns from gun software in tools folder, do each gun&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4: Run &amp;quot;set emulator to mame&amp;amp;#8203;hooker scr&amp;amp;#8203;ipt&amp;quot; - as administrator&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
5: Run &amp;quot;config guns for RS3 reapers&amp;quot; scr&amp;amp;#8203;ipt - as administrator&lt;br /&gt;
Everything should now work if it did before&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Pre-requisites &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1: Antivirus disabled on download location/including temp folder of zip download (AV can zap stuff as it downloads otherwise) &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2: Disable AV for root of drive or it will zap stuff as it runs &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3: COM ports setup correctly and settings surviving reboots (you can achieve this by turning things on the same way each time - for me I turn on the PC then the hub once booted with both guns attached - having both guns attached at both times if you have 2x RS3&#039;s seems to stop it getting mixed up) &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4: Don&#039;t do the above with LaunchBox or BigBox open, or it won&#039;t work do the above then open the front end I&#039;m getting consistent results with the above and having it stable really shows off how amazing this build is - absolutely love it&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Enjoy guys!&lt;br /&gt;

Some tips for peeps with RS3&#039;s, who use only mame&amp;amp;#8203;hooker and who suffer from occasional &amp;quot;config drift&amp;quot; e.g. gun 1 recoils gun 2, gun 2 and gun 1 fire at the same time etc. This may work for HOTR if you run those scr&amp;amp;#8203;ipts instead but that&#039;s untested my end&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If your guns start to get confused try this (assuming everything was working before on all systems and com ports set to correct port for each device):&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1: Reboot PC&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2: Go into launchbox/emulators/demulshooter and check that guns are in correct player e.g. gun1 registers as player 1 and gun 2 player 2&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3: Config lightguns from gun software in tools folder, do each gun&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4: Run &amp;quot;set emulator to mame&amp;amp;#8203;hooker scr&amp;amp;#8203;ipt&amp;quot; - as administrator&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
5: Run &amp;quot;config guns for RS3 reapers&amp;quot; scr&amp;amp;#8203;ipt - as administrator&lt;br /&gt;
Everything should now work if it did before&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Pre-requisites &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1: Antivirus disabled on download location/including temp folder of zip download (AV can zap stuff as it downloads otherwise) &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2: Disable AV for root of drive or it will zap stuff as it runs &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3: COM ports setup correctly and settings surviving reboots (you can achieve this by turning things on the same way each time - for me I turn on the PC then the hub once booted with both guns attached - having both guns attached at both times if you have 2x RS3&#039;s seems to stop it getting mixed up) &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4: Don&#039;t do the above with LaunchBox or BigBox open, or it won&#039;t work do the above then open the front end I&#039;m getting consistent results with the above and having it stable really shows off how amazing this build is - absolutely love it&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Enjoy guys!&lt;br /&gt;

 |summary=&lt;br /&gt;
This code will dynamically change your monitor resolution if you have issues with games not being fullscreen or scaling incorrectly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The code is stored in Launchbox emulator settings, under &amp;quot;Running Script&amp;quot; for Teknoparrot.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You&#039;ll need QRes.exe to make this work too (download link below). No install required, just copy QRes.exe into a folder you&#039;d like to save it in.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Change the directory path in the code to suit where you have saved QRes.exe&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Note: 1: The resolution and refresh rates are tailored to my monitor (4k 240hz). If you have a different refresh rate you want to use across all resolutions, change /r:240 to be what you need (240 = 240hz, 120 = 120hz, 60 = 60hz, etc.). The resolution is self-explanatory, and is in the ChangeResolution(x,y) loop section.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Note 2: I&#039;ve only populated Luigi&#039;s Mansion so far but will add more games later, and will try to make the original resolution and hz more smart (currently I hard code 4k 240hz).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Note 3: If you have any issues, try setting your display scaling to 100%.&lt;br /&gt;

 |summary=&lt;br /&gt;
Hello! @dea7hsmiles thank you so much! me and my wife love playing all these awesome games. I have some tips for peeps like me with RS3 reapers&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some tips for peeps with RS3&#039;s, who use only mame&amp;amp;#8203;hooker and who suffer from occasional &amp;quot;config drift&amp;quot; e.g. gun 1 recoils gun 2, gun 2 and gun 1 fire at the same time etc. This may work for HOTR if you run those scr&amp;amp;#8203;ipts instead but that&#039;s untested my end&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If your guns start to get confused try this (assuming everything was working before on all systems and com ports set to correct port for each device):&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1: Reboot PC&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2: Go into launchbox/emulators/demulshooter and check that guns are in correct player e.g. gun1 registers as player 1 and gun 2 player 2&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3: Config lightguns from gun software in tools folder, do each gun&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4: Run &amp;quot;set emulator to mame&amp;amp;#8203;hooker scr&amp;amp;#8203;ipt&amp;quot; - as administrator&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
5: Run &amp;quot;config guns for RS3 reapers&amp;quot; scr&amp;amp;#8203;ipt - as administrator&lt;br /&gt;
Everything should now work if it did before&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Pre-requisites &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1: Antivirus disabled on download location/including temp folder of zip download (AV can zap stuff as it downloads otherwise) &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2: Disable AV for root of drive or it will zap stuff as it runs &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3: COM ports setup correctly and settings surviving reboots (you can achieve this by turning things on the same way each time - for me I turn on the PC then the hub once booted with both guns attached - having both guns attached at both times if you have 2x RS3&#039;s seems to stop it getting mixed up) &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4: Don&#039;t do the above with LaunchBox or BigBox open, or it won&#039;t work do the above then open the front end I&#039;m getting consistent results with the above and having it stable really shows off how amazing this build is - absolutely love it&lt;br /&gt;

 |summary=&lt;br /&gt;
This code will dynamically change your monitor resolution if you have issues with games not being fullscreen or scaling incorrectly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The code is stored in Launchbox emulator settings, under &amp;quot;Running Script&amp;quot; for Teknoparrot.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You&#039;ll need QRes.exe to make this work too (download link below). No install required, just copy QRes.exe into a folder you&#039;d like to save it in.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Change the directory path in the code to suit where you have saved QRes.exe&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Note: 1: The resolution and refresh rates are tailored to my monitor (4k 240hz). If you have a different refresh rate you want to use across all resolutions, change /r:240 to be what you need (240 = 240hz, 120 = 120hz, 60 = 60hz, etc.). The resolution is self-explanatory, and is in the ChangeResolution(x,y) loop section.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Note 2: I&#039;ve only populated Luigi&#039;s Mansion so far but will add more games later, and will try to make the original resolution and hz more smart (currently I hard code 4k 240hz).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Note 3: If you have any issues, try setting your display scaling to 100%.&lt;br /&gt;

 |title=Stabilize RS3 Reapers when MAMEHooker config drift happens&lt;br /&gt;
 |author=ChrisTucker&lt;br /&gt;
 |date=June 15, 2025&lt;br /&gt;
 |source=&lt;br /&gt;
 |affected=RS3 Reapers • MAMEHooker • HOTR (untested)&lt;br /&gt;
 |summary=&lt;br /&gt;
Hello! @dea7hsmiles thank you so much! me and my wife love playing all these awesome games. I have some tips for peeps like me with RS3 reapers&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some tips for peeps with RS3&#039;s, who use only mame&amp;amp;#8203;hooker and who suffer from occasional &amp;quot;config drift&amp;quot; e.g. gun 1 recoils gun 2, gun 2 and gun 1 fire at the same time etc. This may work for HOTR if you run those scr&amp;amp;#8203;ipts instead but that&#039;s untested my end&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If your guns start to get confused try this (assuming everything was working before on all systems and com ports set to correct port for each device):&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1: Reboot PC&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2: Go into launchbox/emulators/demulshooter and check that guns are in correct player e.g. gun1 registers as player 1 and gun 2 player 2&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3: Config lightguns from gun software in tools folder, do each gun&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4: Run &amp;quot;set emulator to mame&amp;amp;#8203;hooker scr&amp;amp;#8203;ipt&amp;quot; - as administrator&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
5: Run &amp;quot;config guns for RS3 reapers&amp;quot; scr&amp;amp;#8203;ipt - as administrator&lt;br /&gt;
Everything should now work if it did before&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Pre-requisites &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1: Antivirus disabled on download location/including temp folder of zip download (AV can zap stuff as it downloads otherwise) &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2: Disable AV for root of drive or it will zap stuff as it runs &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3: COM ports setup correctly and settings surviving reboots (you can achieve this by turning things on the same way each time - for me I turn on the PC then the hub once booted with both guns attached - having both guns attached at both times if you have 2x RS3&#039;s seems to stop it getting mixed up) &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4: Don&#039;t do the above with LaunchBox or BigBox open, or it won&#039;t work do the above then open the front end I&#039;m getting consistent results with the above and having it stable really shows off how amazing this build is - absolutely love it&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Enjoy guys!&lt;br /&gt;

 |summary=&lt;br /&gt;
Hello! @dea7hsmiles thank you so much! me and my wife love playing all these awesome games. I have some tips for peeps like me with RS3 reapers&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some tips for peeps with RS3&#039;s, who use only mame&amp;amp;#8203;hooker and who suffer from occasional &amp;quot;config drift&amp;quot; e.g. gun 1 recoils gun 2, gun 2 and gun 1 fire at the same time etc. This may work for HOTR if you run those scr&amp;amp;#8203;ipts instead but that&#039;s untested my end&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If your guns start to get confused try this (assuming everything was working before on all systems and com ports set to correct port for each device):&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1: Reboot PC&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2: Go into launchbox/emulators/demulshooter and check that guns are in correct player e.g. gun1 registers as player 1 and gun 2 player 2&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3: Config lightguns from gun software in tools folder, do each gun&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4: Run &amp;quot;set emulator to mame&amp;amp;#8203;hooker scr&amp;amp;#8203;ipt&amp;quot; - as administrator&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
5: Run &amp;quot;config guns for RS3 reapers&amp;quot; scr&amp;amp;#8203;ipt - as administrator&lt;br /&gt;
Everything should now work if it did before&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Pre-requisites &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1: Antivirus disabled on download location/including temp folder of zip download (AV can zap stuff as it downloads otherwise) &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2: Disable AV for root of drive or it will zap stuff as it runs &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3: COM ports setup correctly and settings surviving reboots (you can achieve this by turning things on the same way each time - for me I turn on the PC then the hub once booted with both guns attached - having both guns attached at both times if you have 2x RS3&#039;s seems to stop it getting mixed up) &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4: Don&#039;t do the above with LaunchBox or BigBox open, or it won&#039;t work do the above then open the front end I&#039;m getting consistent results with the above and having it stable really shows off how amazing this build is - absolutely love it&lt;br /&gt;

 |summary=&lt;br /&gt;
This code will dynamically change your monitor resolution if you have issues with games not being fullscreen or scaling incorrectly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The code is stored in Launchbox emulator settings, under &amp;quot;Running Script&amp;quot; for Teknoparrot.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You&#039;ll need QRes.exe to make this work too (download link below). No install required, just copy QRes.exe into a folder you&#039;d like to save it in.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Change the directory path in the code to suit where you have saved QRes.exe&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Note: 1: The resolution and refresh rates are tailored to my monitor (4k 240hz). If you have a different refresh rate you want to use across all resolutions, change /r:240 to be what you need (240 = 240hz, 120 = 120hz, 60 = 60hz, etc.). The resolution is self-explanatory, and is in the ChangeResolution(x,y) loop section.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Note 2: I&#039;ve only populated Luigi&#039;s Mansion so far but will add more games later, and will try to make the original resolution and hz more smart (currently I hard code 4k 240hz).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Note 3: If you have any issues, try setting your display scaling to 100%.&lt;br /&gt;

This code will dynamically change your monitor resolution if you have issues with games not being fullscreen or scaling incorrectly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The code is stored in Launchbox emulator settings, under &amp;quot;Running Script&amp;quot; for Teknoparrot.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You&#039;ll need QRes.exe to make this work too (download link below). No install required, just copy QRes.exe into a folder you&#039;d like to save it in.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Change the directory path in the code to suit where you have saved QRes.exe&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Note: 1: The resolution and refresh rates are tailored to my monitor (4k 240hz). If you have a different refresh rate you want to use across all resolutions, change /r:240 to be what you need (240 = 240hz, 120 = 120hz, 60 = 60hz, etc.). The resolution is self-explanatory, and is in the ChangeResolution(x,y) loop section.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Note 2: I&#039;ve only populated Luigi&#039;s Mansion so far but will add more games later, and will try to make the original resolution and hz more smart (currently I hard code 4k 240hz).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Note 3: If you have any issues, try setting your display scaling to 100%.&lt;br /&gt;

 |title=Stabilize RS3 Reapers when MAMEHooker config drift happens&lt;br /&gt;
 |author=ChrisTucker&lt;br /&gt;
 |date=June 15, 2025&lt;br /&gt;
 |source=&lt;br /&gt;
 |affected=RS3 Reapers • MAMEHooker • HOTR (untested)&lt;br /&gt;
 |summary=&lt;br /&gt;
Hello! @dea7hsmiles thank you so much! me and my wife love playing all these awesome games. I have some tips for peeps like me with RS3 reapers&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some tips for peeps with RS3&#039;s, who use only mame&amp;amp;#8203;hooker and who suffer from occasional &amp;quot;config drift&amp;quot; e.g. gun 1 recoils gun 2, gun 2 and gun 1 fire at the same time etc. This may work for HOTR if you run those scr&amp;amp;#8203;ipts instead but that&#039;s untested my end&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If your guns start to get confused try this (assuming everything was working before on all systems and com ports set to correct port for each device):&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1: Reboot PC&lt;br /&gt;
2: Go into launchbox/emulators/demulshooter and check that guns are in correct player e.g. gun1 registers as player 1 and gun 2 player 2&lt;br /&gt;
3: Config lightguns from gun software in tools folder, do each gun&lt;br /&gt;
4: Run &amp;quot;set emulator to mame&amp;amp;#8203;hooker scr&amp;amp;#8203;ipt&amp;quot; - as administrator&lt;br /&gt;
5: Run &amp;quot;config guns for RS3 reapers&amp;quot; scr&amp;amp;#8203;ipt - as administrator&lt;br /&gt;
Everything should now work if it did before&lt;br /&gt;
