Ahh, you're lucky then, I could not get any of the Tomee's to work on my TV. I'm also wondering whether the components of this "new" HD blaster are the same as the old Tomee's? If so, they I wouldn't even bother with it, myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanooki Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 I wish the Tomee one was more stable, want to use it with my everdrive, but I keep seeing complaints how they're hit and miss. Even then the reason why is sketchy, does it hate types of TVs or are they typical poor build Tomee junk so it's a luck grab? Not that I think Hyperkin ever gets much right, outside of the SupaboyS/SFC they don't either, so I'd need to see proof someone got one of them solidly right.

I ordered one. I'm a be the guinea pig and see if it works with the rom hacks on an AVS. There exists a hacked version of "shoot the dog" Duck Hunt VS. If someone could rehack it to work with the Hyperkin Blaster, that would be the bees knees! ????? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg2600 Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 So I have bad news, tried the Hyper Blaster HD and it doesn't work, same as with the Tomee's. I tested it on my CRT first, and two of the three adjustment positions (on the gun) register a hit improperly. One works fine. Then moved to the Sony LCD, and it registers a hit no matter where i point on the screen. I was testing with LCD modded roms on an Everdrive. Now your TV might work but it might not. The supplied adapter ONLY works with a SMB/Duck Hunt cart, NOT the 3-gamer or standalone Duck Hunt. Futhermore, it will NOT work on a standard front loading NES, only the top loader and the Retron HD. Obviously, this is not much of a solution, and there's a good shot it will not even work for most people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0078265317 Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 A toaster will work. Just pile 2 or 3 game genies together. And then the red thing. Also my TCL tv is LED so maybe that is why it works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will this work with the modified nes roms? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also my TCL tv is LED so maybe that is why it works. Hyperkin were warned, they ignored it. Had they used a better LED diode in the gun, I think it would have greatly increased compatibility. My HDTV's are not new, they are several years old. One is LCD, one is Plasma, neither work. I tried fiddling with the delay value, but honestly, this is way too much of a nuisance for what it's worth. 4 hours ago, Kosmic Stardust said: Wait, what? Why does it not work on toasters?

The modified roms should work; however, for that matter, you can get a Tomee gun for $5 and have the same results as this $25-$30 "HD" product. It's believed they were going to delay the release for this reason, but wound up shipping them anyway. I will report that my front loader works; however, it's not stock, it's got the RGB board installed, FWIW.

Also are you saying the LED diode in this HD gun is no better than my cheap 7 dollar tomee zapper? So no need to buy this just to see the difference?

Yeah, why would they redesign the gun, it's Hyperkin? The only reason the OEM Nintendo zappers don't work (with the modded roms) was the weaker diode. I have to assume the 3-position switch on the gun, which is supposed to adjust to room lighting, likely reduces the voltage hitting the diode. In any event, if my friend wishes to put the diode that Jon Riggs recommended, fine, but otherwise I'll keep on keeping on with my CRT.

Just a cheap gun and 1 trigger. No other buttons. So this HD zapper might be worth a try? And my tomee zapper works but distance is not the best. This HD zapper might be better?

Greg2600 Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 Well, this new one has 3 positions for light sensitivity. That being said, with them on or off, the 3rd position was the only one that worked on my CRT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
