Title: Super Scope conversion (code might be useful).
Post by: Howard_Casto on October 26, 2020, 03:05:37 pm

Element 14 recently used a pi to convert a super scope into an IR gun.  I thought it might be useful code and parts wise.

I saw the video for this on youtube earlier.
Cant deny its cool but its a shame he destroyed the original hardware in the process.

Yeah super scopes don't survive like the other guns do as they were frikkin huge.  Much like guitar hero guitars many hit the dumpster.

Yeah, They are far from the best lightgun but they are still pretty nostalgic for many!

Yeah very interesting video.
Funny they are using almost the same logic I use in both of my systems  :lol
