bunnyboy, i understand what your saying, but how is it people can do a trick like pointing at a light, and the zapper registering a hit? (though that never worked for me, even with one duck on the screen). I have seen it done with some fluorescent lights, which may flicker at the correct frequency....

kyuusaku, 540p to my TV is "1080i", it doesn't know any different. The manual states that 1080i is the native display rate to the TV.. Service manual states that when in 1080i, the TV will shut down the scaler and allow the input to control the sync directly. Since 540p is electrically the...

To get onto snes for a moment I assume the lethal enforcer guns work with the electron detection but how bout the super scope it seems a little different is the little box with it just a IR receiver for the wireless or dose it help align the gun? and also if the zapper just looks for white how dose...

LCDs et al. don't work with the Zapper because they don't have an electron beam that draws the screen, which is what the Zapper (and other lightguns) detect to tell where you're pointing it. The Wiimote works with any TV because it uses an IR-transmitting "sensor bar" (which is a misnomer...

I used the "Radiance" scaler, worth a lot of cash, and my friend wouldn't trust me alone with it.. He was probably worried you'd return a well-executed photoshopped fake back to him. Hey, my photoshopping from my hoaxing days wasn't well executed. It was caught after all. ;) But anyway, i...

so if you have a tv with a 4ms responce time a zapper will work on its own? it should, yes. But I wouldn't trust an LCD. They don't make CRT HDTV's anymore, but if you can find one that has a mode that the scaler shuts off (usually 540p and 1080i), you might get away with it. I used the "Radia...

if the onley problem with the old light guns is the video signel the console outputs why dose the Wii use something so inaccurate for there pointer controlls Well it's not the signal. It's the image processing that TV's introduce. My HDTV by itself, introduces a delay that is approximately 1-2 fram...

Oh, I just borrowed one of those for this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=06cd5y5l1Ns In this case, it was a professional "scaler" with 240p to 540p upscaling, with only 4ms delay, and 540p turns off the scaler in my TV as it's a native scanrate, the Zapper worked. And yea, the one I borro...

Ok, I've seen this around, some saying it's a hoax, some saying it's real, and I'm sure you guys here know it's real.

But there's one thing bugging me, is it a bug, or an easter egg?

Hmm. I ask because some emulators, like this one, show a purplish background too.

NES Colors

So, my HDTV and Commodore 64 monitor seem to disagree on what "Blue" is from the NES (yet from say, the Sega Genesis, blue is the same on both screens).

Which one of these screens is more accurate for the NES? o_O

No, he talked about the separation. Anyway, I have a re-edited version, with toned down drums.

But the mixer wouldn't let me touch separation because I finalized it to a stereo track.

It's cool, other than the drums it somewhat reminds me of a Turbografx-16 sound. Personally I think the stereo separation is too much. Seems like it'd be kinda brutal with headphones. Usually I'd go for something like 75/25, it sounds like it's 100/0 on my speakers. There's not 100% seperation, act...
