Sinden Light Gun setup

[AOR]

I received my first Sinden light gun. I installed their application, and I do see that the light gun is working like a mouse. I do see images on the screen in the Sinden app. I have been trying to find simple setup instructions to add it to Launchbox. I found a video from ETA prime but I feel like being 4 years old that it is outdated.

I am using MAMES and I went to the input devices but it's not seeing the light gun. It does see a mouse and an X box controller. Is there is good tutorial out there? Thank you.

Don't know about standalone MAME but the Retoarch version is really easy to setup, just need to map the global input settings (Gun trigger, gun reload, Gun aux A, etc...) by opening Retroarch without games, to what is mapped in the Sinden software (it should be mouse and keyboard keys), then save global configuration, open a game set the player 1 input in the game quick menu to light gun (save as core or content directory remap), just need that Sinden border on (easiest way if the Sinden default border doesn't come up is to use Reshade (look it up), and you should be good to go (at least as basic setup).
