Do those hd crt's have menu's and/or possibly a 'game mode' you can switch to?
I'd also try turning off edid on the kit.

It has a channel that says game when I switch through various video channels.

My set has a HDMI input, S video inputs, and composition inputs. Also has a coaxial input. I want to say it was 5 cable inputs total not including the hdmi port. Granted I have been using the HD a retro vision cables for my SNES and Genises as well as the HDMI for my NES. Will have to use my non modded NES and regular composite to test the light gun. Might even test out the Saturn and light gun as well. As those are the only two systems I currently have light guns for.

Oh wait no. I have a gun con for the PS and PS2 I can try.

I remember seeing a YouTube video of some guy who made some sort of adaptor for the zapper which allowed it to work on a LCD tv. Granted it's YouTube and could be fake.


However. Something. Tells me that might be the next big thing for the retro scene. We already have many people working and fine tuning ways to get best picture best sounds and to play 100% of a systems library on original hardware affordiably (ever drives). What's left?  Light gun comparability. Making an adaptor or light gun which would work with original hard ware on modern tvs.

Granted it might be impossible. Then again people said it was unlikely and possibly impossible to get a Neo Geo everdrive. And that became reality.

The youtube video is real. There is a way to build an adapter to get them working, but I have heard that it's not perfect and I think the tv's it worked on were specific.

If you get the zapper working on your HD CRT, post up the model. I know a few people who would be interested in trying to find an HD CRT that will actually work with a zapper, myself included.
