ARE GAMES INCLUDED OR IS IT JUST THE CONTROLLER?
ARE GAMES INCLUDED OR IS IT JUST THE CONTROLLER?
If you purchase one of our Bundle versions, you will receive our 1TB Retro Stick USB Card containing over 15,000 classic arcade titles ready to play. If you buy the single pistol, you will receive only the controller and sensors.
HOW DOES IT WORK? DO I CONNECT IT TO MY PC OR TV?
HOW DOES IT WORK? DO I CONNECT IT TO MY PC OR TV?
Retro Trigger requires a PC (Windows/Linux) or a Raspberry Pi to run the games. You connect the sensors to your TV/Projector, plug the 1TB and game set card into your PC, and you're ready to play. It is not a "stand-alone" console that plugs directly into the TV without a computer.
DOES IT WORK WITH PS5, XBOX, OR STEAM DECK?
DOES IT WORK WITH PS5, XBOX, OR STEAM DECK?
No. Our gun only works with Windows, Linux and Android OS. While it works perfectly on Steam Deck (in Desktop Mode), it is not compatible with PS5 or Xbox as these consoles do not support the external lightgun drivers required for our system.
DOES IT WORK ON MODERN TVS, FLAT SCREENS, OR PROJECTORS?
DOES IT WORK ON MODERN TVS, FLAT SCREENS, OR PROJECTORS?
Absolutely YES. Unlike old CRT lightguns, our infrared technology works on any screen type: LED, OLED, 4K, and even Projectors up to 150 inches with no size limit.
CAN TWO PEOPLE PLAY AT THE SAME TIME?
CAN TWO PEOPLE PLAY AT THE SAME TIME?
Yes, our system supports Local Multiplayer. By selecting the "2 Players Set", you will receive two pistols that work independently on the same screen for head-to-head challenges.
