How can I get the Sinden Lightgun to work?

Anyone set this up? I find lots of scripts, but if someone already has dug through this, then please holler at me;)

My response is over a year later, but thought I’d share my module that I am using for sinden on Nixos in case it can help anyone else. AI helped me make it. I still have to download the driver from sinden’s website, but then I can run sinden-lightgun [/path/to/LightgunMono.exe] [args…]

{ pkgs, ... }:

let
  sindenLibs = with pkgs; [
    SDL
    SDL_image
    libjpeg8
    libv4l
    v4l-utils
  ];
  sindenLdPath = pkgs.lib.makeLibraryPath sindenLibs;
in
{
  # Runtime dependencies for LightgunMono.exe on Linux.
  environment.systemPackages =
    sindenLibs
    ++ [
      pkgs.mono
      pkgs.dotnet-runtime
      pkgs.usbutils
