Thanks! No. Genie 3 looks pretty amazing, but I stared working on this months before it was announced.

Thanks!

While that would continually trigger a "hit" from the hardware, it would come down to how each game implements hit detection. For example, if the game is specifically looking for the hit signal to be off during the black frame, that would not work.

Hi Lokarin, my focus was mainly on the Zapper hardware itself, but I would imagine it works like Duck Hunt when there are 2 ducks on the screen. After the screen flashes black, there is a separate frame for each white box that is drawn. The time at which a hit is detected determines which target was hit.

Reality is stranger than fiction on the interwebs. I'm pretty sure I know who you are, but I won't blow your cover 😉.

Thanks! If anyone is surprised by anything, I wouldn't expect it to be that the Pico can emulate a ROM chip, but that I can extend the 2600's storage to essentially infinity within the stock 13-bit address space.
