Details

I have received multiple requests over the last 2 years whether the Sinden pedal can be used on Arcade1Up Time Crisis and the answer was No, but due to popular demand we have made a small batch of limited edition ones that can directly connect.

With the original pedal from the offset the plan was always to design a premium product. Made of a combination of steel and aluminium, with a good weight, incredible strength, look awesome and it needed to have that real arcade “clunk” feel to it. I worked with the designer of the Sinden Lightgun shell and a metal works factory in the UK. The metal works factory have been operating in the UK for over 200 hundred years so they know what they are doing. I admit I started this project without appreciating how expensive metal work is and by the end, I realised why everyone makes everything out of plastic and why this type of product wasn’t already available!

I’m really happy with what the factory and the designer came up with. It works great, it looks great, it has that solid premium feel and it has the all important “clunk”:

If converted to USB the pedal inputs to your PC, Raspberry Pi or other device as a keyboard. You can set it to a custom key using the software or just use it straight out the box where it outputs a “c” key. You can use it with any lightgun device but specifically you can additionally combine it with the Sinden Lightgun inside the Sinden Lightgun software and assign a lightgun input to it instead. So for example it can be set to match whatever your Sinden Lightgun pump action is. So you can then use either input in your game without needing to change config. You can also use 2 pedals on the same system also.

It comes with a generous 5m long USB cable just like the Sinden Lightgun so you are not limited on where you want to use it.

I took it with me when I went to exhibit the Sinden Lightgun at CES in Las Vegas a couple of years ago. It took a proper bashing from hundreds of people across 3 days without any damage and we received really positive feedback. So it’s made to a commercial standard of strength, it would even be possible to use it on an original Time Crisis arcade machine (with a bit of re-wiring). Due to the solid weight, it comes in a nice custom designed package with shaped foam to protect it while being distributed to customers:
