SEGA MODEL 3 EMULATOR FORK
Supermode Sinden
A Supermodel fork focused on native Sinden light-gun support for Sega Model 3 arcade games.
What Supermode Sinden offers
Supermode Sinden is a fork of the Supermodel Sega Model 3 emulator. Its maintainer adds native Sinden light-gun handling and uses ManyMouse for two-player gun input on Linux and macOS. The project also describes Sinden border options and support for MAME multi-ROM sets while aiming to track upstream Supermodel changes.
This is a specialist build for light-gun setups, not a separate emulator for a different arcade board. Windows already has two-player mouse input in upstream Supermodel, so the fork’s differences vary by operating system. Read the maintainer’s release notes and preserve a known-working build and input configuration when testing newer snapshots.
Best for
Sega Model 3 players setting up Sinden light guns, especially two-player configurations on Linux or macOS.

A sensible setup path
- Read the fork README and choose a build for your operating system from its release page.
- Confirm a Sega Model 3 game launches with ordinary input before configuring a light gun.
- Follow the Sinden and ManyMouse notes for your platform, then calibrate one player at a time.
- Keep your previous build and input configuration before testing another snapshot.
Software reminder: Supermode Sinden does not supply commercial arcade games. Use only game files you have the right to obtain and run.
