no activity in this thread for a couple of months and the Kickstarter total wasn't reached.  Has anyone heard any news or spoken to Sinden in the last 2 months ,  i'm hoping the project hasn't stalled or been cancelled.

No news since the KS failed.
I signed up with them for future updates but nothing as yet.
MrLightgun:
Don't worry everyone, I've been working hard to develop the product (hardware and software) and got some exciting updates to come soon, hopefully within a month.

Regards

Mr Lightgun

I play PS3 games on a projector. Shooting and driving games are espiecially awesome on my 110" screen in my living room. My son loves Sega Ralley on the PS3 with the force feedback wheel.

With vintage games, you have the same issues as using any fixed pixel display - and poor upscaling does not look any better on a larger screen. Also, unless you have a black projector screen (like I use) then you need to play in a dark room to get a decent image which I don't really like.

You could buy an old CRT projector (one capable of native 240p without line-doubling). But they have their own issues. Most are not bright enough and the gaps between scanlines get larger as the screen size increases (which is why people started using line doublers).

The best set-up for large screen vintage gaming is one of those old 50" or 70" crt rear projection TVs or monitors (like the ones they use on Time Crisis deluxe and House of the dead games). They usually sell for next to nothing on Craigslist as you need a truck to move one...
