Unzip the content in /userdata/ (or /share/ partition). Then, update your game collection, calibrate your gun, enable your "Light gun" game collection and you are set. All packs have their path premade already.
= Additional information =
What's missing:
- All gamepad/mouse and fake "light gun" games. They had no native light gun support whatsoever.
- Games from systems with no light gun compatibility emulators used in Batocera at the moment (ex.: Amiga, Xbox). They will be once the support is there.
- Windows gun games because Wine compatibility is a very complex thing.
