Well I guess, if they're not able to search with Google, these people probably need a link. :D Fun video, to bad about the camera getting out of focus so much.
This is why I love this channel just so that gary can actually try these products and exactly tell us if they're worth buying and thankfully this product sounds like it needs to go in a dumpster fire. It's back to the drawing board for these guys and hopefully the iteration of this product will be much better than what they initially released.
That's a good question since I got the Brook Wingman SNES and I might be buying a Cabela Dangerous Hunts gun, either the 2011 or the 2013 PS3 version...
House of the Dead 2 baby!!!!! LMFAO! Dude when you shot at the camera and killed a duck I about pissed myself :)! Great honest review per usual. Hopefully they get this tech buffed out. Until then...........sticking with the NES Zapper.
Nice review but sorry it doesn’t work as advertised! My favourite light gun games as a kid were on the Master System: Rambo III and Middle Defense 3D, which was awesome to use the light gun and 3D glasses at the same time! I just picked up a few other Master System games including Gangster Town and Rescue Mission - looking forward to trying them out!
im guessing the 8-bit boy doesn't have the two pins on controller port 2 necessary for the light gun to work. If you google nes controller port pin out, you will see that the pin on the bottom right and the one above that are unused, but on controller port 2, the unused pins are used for the light gun to work
THe 8BitBoy doesn't have a controller port per-se. It has a small dongle that plugs into the console and the controllers plug into that. So it could be something tied into that.
I've been seeing mixed reviews on this I've seen some were it works fine and others that have the same issues as you. Maybe there are defective units? All I know is I will stick with my SONY Trinitron for Light guns games for now.
Well Well Well.Ok here my results I did test it and my impression were mixed. It's is impresive that it duck hunt and I said I got try other verison of Duck Hunt and that's what my excitement goes down hill non of the them work only my duck hunt cart work and my mario and duck hunt glicht out like crazy and yes I did clean but same thing and I Discover was the cartridge adpater senstive as hell so I did clean that as well and it fix it right way and works for most part. by thay point I decided to test other zapper nes games and that's what lost interested on the product WHY? IT ONLY WORKS FOR DUCK HUNT!!!! and I'm like Why? one games there is other that I want it play. Honestly it is a missed opportunity my friend and they could make a great alternative of the nes zapper games, but unfortunately I got to stick my three NES Zapper guns that I have. Othewise great reviews my friend.
The reason it only works with Duck hunt can most likely be tracked to that cartridge the games plug into. That cart is most likely acting like a game genie and modifying code on the fly so to speak. I would assume that at this time it only has the code to modify the Original Duck hunt, but this injection technique only works for certain games. That's also probably why certain systems had the funky garbled text on screen. The injection didn't quite work right on those systems and you got weird artifacting due to something being written to the wrong memory address.
@@LifeWithMatthew ahhh. That makes a lot of senses. That's why I wasn't able to play duck hunt as it should and that's why the other nes zapper games would not work.
Hi Gary, great review! I know we were getting to almost talk about this on Twitter and Bird's stream, but what are your thoughts about a modified ROM (obviously to a game you properly own and dumped yourself) in a use case like this where the game is unplayable with modern equipment?
The screen glitching comes from not making stable contact with the pins. Your cartiridges can be clean and it will still do it. If you want to fix it on the front loader you can remove the 72 pin connecter and lift each pin about 1mm or until you see a clean lift. It will give it a strong grip but if done correctly you can litteraly move the cartridge up and down while playing and the game won't intterupt. You can use a metal dental pick, a exacto knife or a 000 flat head to help lift the pins. It makes a world of difference and brings the console back to christmas of '85 like i would say lol. I was really looking forward to be able to play duck hunt again but its not 100% accurate.
I use the Blinking Light Win on my Front Loader. It does such an amazing job to fix the issue. I had tried bending the pins back but that was only a tempoary fix, where the BLW was a permanent fix.
@@RoXolid I hear you! I was considering the blinking light win myself but im just so used to being able to sit the cartridge down on the tray (nostalgia) and my NES doesn't really misbehaves but if it ever goes on sale I might pick one up. I know you are a fellow hobbyist. Have you ever seen or tried the 8bitdo kits the ones you swap out the internals on the nes controller to make it wireless? I wanted to check that out along with the 8bitdo adapter.
@@rubenmejia4881 Yes, I actually installed one for a viewer, you can check it out here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dT8e-qN7x9Q.html
What kind of double cartage did u use there are at lest 2 different boards with different pins. What bothers me is that when u pull the trigger the screen should turn black and flask the target box. It looks like it failing at recognizing the trigger. I’m so disappointed at this I guess I will need to hunt down a CRTV. What has hyperkin’s response been???
This thing requires a very specific cartridge variant of super mario/duck hunt with the right pin layout or it just doesn't work. Most people aren't going to bother to research that. I was looking forward to this and I don't see how they could flub it so badly. I have not seen a video of it working at all.
Not a fan CRT, unfortunately I grew up playing on CRT TVs for quite some time. I always thought games looked amazing, But I agree, they are huge, heavy, bulky TVs. Great review as aways.
How did you get the Hyperkin HDTV cartridge adapter out of the frontloading console? I'm asking because cartridges get stuck in the frontloading NES easily.
@@RoXolid Okay! However, maybe I’ll just use my Classiq N because I’m horrible at modding or repairing consoles, but maybe at some point, I’ll get one of those to put in my toaster NES. Thanks for the reply!
No wonder this product is notlicensed by nintendo because you can cheat with that lightgun and the reason why it doesn’t work with the retroboy is because it lacks that essential light pin connector or it’s wired differently, I consider chiller a cool game on the nes but it’s also crued as well.
I didnt expect it to work on the emulator console.. but the gun itself looks like what they did was add the input from the 2nd player controller. Because if you press the a or b on the controller it also kills the duck.
Well that was disappointing. Was Trying to find a light gun for my old skool classiq 3 but not wasting my money now. Thanks for saving me cash with your video 👍🏼
Such a shame this doesn't work very well. For anyone who wants to use light gun games on a flat panel TV then I honestly think modded ROMs on an EverDrive with the Tomee Light Gun is the best bet. It works fantastic
My favorite wagon game is on the Ennius and it’s not goibecause it’s the only way I can game I have and it’s really fun me and my brother playing we played it just today and it’s really fun
I like my hyperkin products to bad that this is not what it should be and i think they should of took the time to make it work for all the light gun games on nes Im glad that i still have my og gun and games to play on my crt tv
Not corrupted, just a fade/drop out. I'm still tweaking my new wireless mics, the audio had a couple issues in this one, fewer in the others I am currently working on
It took a while for me to work out the right delay, the auto-calibration never worked. But once I worked out the right values for my various system (yes it changes!) it works flawlessly. As accurate as a CRT. So for me, it works!
Makes since why none of the Retrons will work. While the Retron 5 dumps roms while the others don't. It still doesn't mean, the Retron HD specifically for SNES or NES is using good hardware emulating the system in a hardware level. Nope!!!! Like the Retron 5, they are still using a raspberry pie type main board, with a mediocre emulation Software. I'm actually more curious how it would handle on a Analogue NT! Now that thing does emulate on a Hardware level!
Not true, a few of the Retron systems work. Also only the Retron 5, Retron SQ, and Retron 77 dump the carts, the rest play on the cart itself, no different than the Analogue. Now the Analogue uses an FPGA which emulates the original hardware more accurately and the Hyperkin system on a chip but both are hardware solutions
@@RoXolid Actually, I thought the Retron 5 is the only Retron that dumps the rom. I Didn't know the 77, and SQ also dumps them. Interesting to know the Retron HD & SupaRetron HD works better then the Retron 5. After wasting money on that garbage, I never purchased anything from Hyperkin since then. Anyway, that's interesting what you told me! 1 thing that came to mind I'm curious if it could work on, or start on the Retron 5, IF the Hyperkin Cart's rom is downloaded to a PC, combined what that rom would do if Duck hunt is in. Then make it into a IPS patch for Duck Hunt. And load the IPS patch when launching Duck Hunt on the Retron 5!!! That would be interesting. Tho It will be 100% unplayable, due to the fact the Retron 5 adds 1-2 frames on some of the NES games! Lol I'm just curious!😁
Found a BenQ monitor: BL702A model, it's a LCD and runs at 15Khz (just like CRTs), despite being a LCD running 15Khz will it run Light Gun games? (Ej: Duck Hunt, SNES Super Scope)?
Some of those clone consoles like the 8BitBoy probably don't even support the Zapper, because they're only meant for HD TVs. The Zapper has extra pins that aren't used in regular controllers.
I've been of Hyperkin lately because I feel like they have gotten better with their products but I can't defend this. Not sure why they released this. It doesn't work.
It works properly for what it's for and how it was designed. They designed it for one game on one system. And it works for that. The problem is that limits the usability of it overall
You know, Hyperkin could just release an IPS patch for Duck Hunt so it would work on the RetroN 5... In any case, I suspect this would work on my TV since the NESLCDmod modified ROMs work on my EverDrive with the Tomee Zapper. Unless they borked something with the adapter or the new gun. Kind of want to try the new gun though since it has a longer cable.
Yeah, and per my other comment there'd be no point because the RetroN 5 doesn't recognize the Zapper. Maybe they could make a Zapper that does work like a regular controller, but I don't think that's what this is.
7:30 Obviously when you get that boxy/blinky effect you need to blow on the cartridge. Every NES fan knows that. Favorite actual light gun games would be the point blank series. Cheating a bit, Ghost Squad for the Wii.
This unacceptable. Incredible how Hyperkin put this in the market without even testing properly. Check out sinden light gun, they are making a light gun that really works !!
That's my brother from another mother Riff from the Pixel Game Squad. It's a running joke about the "Soft Skin Squad". If you're not subscribed to them definitely check them out!!
If this thing actually worked with all of the light gun games I might just consider getting one of these but based on what I've seen I'm not even sure if it does the clay shooting game
Great review. Now I know not to waste my money. Hyperkin needs to go back to the drawing board and try to make it compatible with all NES light gun games. But most important, make sure it actually works right before releasing it.
Another great review! I agree with the person a couple comments down in that I'll stick with my trusty Commodore 1702 or PVM for light-gun games, for now anyway. As far as my favorite light-gun game, it's a toss up between Battle Clash and Metal Combat: Falcon's Revenge, both for the Super NES.
@@RoXolid They are some of the best games made for the Super Scope. They're basically "Boss Rush" The Game. They have Infinite Continues which make for an enjoyable experience. If you ever have a chance to play them I would highly recommend them.
