Heh, picked one up at Babbages for $15 new. It sucks, drivers don't work under XP and there is next to no software with native support for it. But it looks great sitting next to my powergloves and VR i-Glasses.

I heard it was absolutely terrible. a few friends at my school have it and they said it works decently well, but the gimmick factor wears off quick.

Nothing to hack.

Post by: rock345 on March 11, 2005, 01:05:32 pm: there is always something to hack? right? no?

Post by: Lilwolf on March 11, 2005, 02:09:13 pm: its not a light gun...

you could hack it to a trackball and an analog joystick... but your not going to be happy with play area51 with it.
