| WTF - Sega Menacer working on an LCD flatscreen... How??? |

| Zebra:
Has anyone got an explanation for how the Sega Menacer light gun is working on a LCD flatscreen in this Youtube video? I know the Menacer and Superscope use an IR receiver to make them wireless but I always thought they used traditional light gun tech and only worked on CRT tv's... I also noticed that there seems to be no white flash when the trigger is pulled and yet, even on dark games like T2, the user is able to move the crosshairs around the screen with the gun's motion and that crosshair is rock-steady. There's no flickering like on other light guns. Even the Guncon 2 can't do that... So, what is going on? Is the Menacer more like an Aimtrak on the inside? I seem to remember my Menacer being accurate and only let down by it's hideous looks, poor library and ball-crunchingly low battery life. |

I think it uses ir tech, but I thought it counted scan-lines as well so I don't know. I do know that the gun had to be constantly re-calibrated to have any degree of accuracy. |

Nope puzzled by that one myself. Been modified somehow maybe? I still have a menacer. |

I only have SCART leads for my MD and my LCD only has HDMI inputs. |
