I've been thinking of getting a custom cart of the hacked zapper games that run on a lcd tv. Seems like it'd be better if a few of us got a small run made of them but I question the morality of that. I wish the guys who did the hack would do that.

I've tested the hacked lightgun games quite a bit. A big drawback is needing to buy a 3rd party lightgun. I got the Tomee Zapp gun, which is smaller than a Zapper, with a cheap feeling trigger and a very short cord.
As for the LCD hacks' functionality, it has worked well for me, as long as the target is at least as big as a duck. I can't seem to reliably target anything smaller, such as clay pigeons in the distance. The Duck shooting part of Duck Hunt, Wild Guns, and Hogan's Alley work the best. Some of Barker Bill's mini games work well and others don't, again seemingly based upon target size. I suppose part of it could be the latency of my TV, although I can't remember those numbers off the top of my head.
It is pretty cool to be able to play the arcade version of Duck Hunt at home on an LCD, although it didn't seem to work for me as well as regular Duck Hunt.
Also, a friend of mine recently got a CRT, so I brought my NES over and we played through all the light gun games. I'm sad to say that the selection is really poor. Nothing ever got better than Duck Hunt. Freedom Force and To The Earth had a lot of potential, but just ended up being repetitive and boring. Gumshoe was fun for about 5 minutes. Baby boomer needed a lot more polish and design work to make the levels interesting.

Some of the famicom zapper games are pretty good. There's one that's basically Alien... you used a uzi light gun similar to the one on t2 to play it. Of course those would have to be hacked as well and they haven't even hacked all the US games yet.

Yeah, I tried Space Shadow, but couldn't get very far without the ability to move. Also, go watch a YouTube video of someone playing that game. It's about the worst strobe effect I've ever seen. It's enough to make you queasy. The Hypershot is pretty cool looking, though, reminds me of an Entertech squirt gun, if anyone remembers those.

Genesis multicart arrived. Oddly, the menu will display your current region at the bottom. So, in the picture my console was set to Europe/PAL. The games that have multiple regions in the rom are affected, so Streets of Rage 3 becomes Bare Knuckle 3, etc.
USA shows up as Europe NTSC but close enough.
Very nice game list on this cart. Sadly my clone console maps Genesis button C to SNES L but what are you gonna do.
