This is a modern guide for making modern Lightgun devices work on Linux. Mainly focusing on DIY Arduino-based gun devices, specifically the closed-source GUN4IR and open-source SAMCO projects. For Aimtrak devices, refer to the MAME Documentation, of which this guide derives some information from.

For nearly all entries listed below, you'll need either one of the following:
