On todays RetroRGB pod cast (feel better @RetroRGB / Bob) a segment was devoted to the PlayStation Digital (HDMI mod) adding support for the Sinden Light Gun.
As some of you maybe aware already, this new style gun works with LCD/OLED TVs by drawing a boarder around the screen...
Its highspeed camera can then determine (I'm told with great accuracy) just were in relation to the screen a "hit" (trigger pull) took place.
I've always been tempted by this particular digital solution, because unlike other consoles the PS1 switches rapidly between 480i/240p (which is problematic for scalers like the OSSC).
Of course this got me thinking... IF PSDigi can do it, why NOT the OSSC?
Now I understand even if the OSSC could draw the proper boarder required for the gun, we would still need a way to feed this input to something like the original JAMMA PCB.
I really think this could possible however!
So I'd like to discuss it here in great technical detail, in the hopes that we could find and implement such a feature in the future Marqs (spend some time here bro, it ain't all about Shumps dang) to add it to the next OSSC firmware).
Just imagine playing House of the Dead 2 (Naomi) Time Crisis (Namco Sys246) or Point Blank (Namco Sys11) on a 65" OLED screen in your Livingroom!
