The Dolphinbar from Mayflash is about $35 USD and it works for this game just fine in Mode 2. I am still fiddling on the LED distance, but it does work. Perhaps the cheapest solution if you have a wiimote already.

As previously mentioned, I too would recommend the Sinden Lightgun. I've used it for plenty of light gun games and it works very well. Only downside is the wait for shipping.

If you want to go the DIY route, Gun4IR is an interesting option.

If you have a 3d printer, there are even some good designs for the shell you can use

As amazing as the product looks, it's just so expensive and out of reach for some.

Are there any known alternatives for a PC Lightgun?

And I don't mean 3D printing or DIY kit set ups as I know I won't be able to figure that out in one kit alone.

My set up is the Arcade Mod for the latest version of HotD:R with one Mayflash Dolphinbar, two Wiimotes, 2 pairs of iPhone Macro/Wide lenses (very important to have), 2 Nyko Perfect Shot gun shells, Touchmote, and DemulShooter.

To use the Macro/Wide lenses, I had to tape/glue the lenses to the front of my Wiimotes (use double sided tape first to make sure where the sweet spot is for the Wiimote's IR camera) and modify the Nyko Perfect Shot shell so the lenses can be on the Wiimote and still fit in the shell. I had to file down the front of the Perfect Shot to make the modified Wiimote fit. It's the same lenses that Gun4IR use and include for their guns.

DemulShooter has native support for HotD:R, but only with the Arcade Mod. Because DemulShooter has native support and converts controller input to whatever output it uses, you can set the Dolphinbar to mode 4 which makes it so you can connect up to 4 Wiimotes at a time (essentially Wii Mode).

Then, use Touchmote to convert the Wiimote inputs to Xbox 360 outputs (e.g. Wii pointer> 360 Left Stick). After you have both Wiimotes set up through Touchmote, open DemulShooter_GUI and choose the corresponding controller from the drop-down menu. The current controllers are usually at the very top of the list.

Once you have your Wiimotes set up with DemulShooter_GUI, close it out and make a new text file. Open it, then type in "DemulShooterX64.exe -target=windows -rom=hotdra" (without the quotes) then save it. Doesn't matter what you name it, just something that you know what it's for, then change the file type from ".txt" to ".bat". You'll need to open the batch file every time before you play HotD:R with your Wiimotes.

And boom! Cheap way to play HotD:R 2-player with Wiimotes! Personally, I don't notice much lag if any using the Wiimotes to play HotD:R. It's just as good imo as some of the more expensive Lightgun options out there.

Only downside to this is the extensive set up. You can also set the Wiimotes up where A is the reload button, then in Touchmote, set it where it activates the A button at certain angles (such as angled downward) so it only reloads the gun when you angle the Wiimote down.

Yeah, I was thinking the same before I tried one. It's just about perfect. All the others that are similar in performance are about as expensive and most of those don't have recoil.

I pulled the trigger and ordered 2 Sinden's with recoil as a Christmas gift to myself with the money everyone gave me and a little of my savings. They arrived about a two weeks ago, so I'm still going through and getting every game and emulator setup to use them, but so far it works great for many games. Now I just need a good 50 inch tv to hook up to my PC! LOL

If the price is really an obstacle, just get a Dolphinbar and WiiMote. It's what I was using for a long time, but I'm not going back after using the Sinden. I'd used other IR light guns, and they perform roughly as well as a WiiMote and Dolphinbar, so they aren't worth the cost in comparison.

Do you really need the iphone macro lenses? what is that for? touchmote is also needed? acording to mayflash bar, both wiimotes should work with one of the mdoes it already have
