Zapper LCD Mod

Recently there has been a new modified version of Duck Hunt that is altered to allow it to work on LCD TVs. Since we do not know if the RNG works the same or not and the games speed is changed I, feel that it should be banned. I would like to hear the community’s thoughts on this

United States

I'm not familiar with this modified version but it sounds like it would be different and shouldn't be allowed.

As CRT become less and less available though, it might be worth looking into this version more and maybe making it a misc category?

Ive seen adapters, goes on the cart like a game genie, never seen modified carts/roms tho

United States

There's this; the game is unmodified.

And then these patches for the ROM; I take it you mean these:

Those are what I meant. I also heard that you might need a third party zapper for the second one. I’m pretty sure they said you need to modify an original or use an alternative. Does the public have access to these ROMs and adapters or are they still in beta?

United States

Those look like they are available to test already - they are IPS files so you would patch the original ROM with them.

At this point, I think we should make sure that it is annotated in the notes that the cart modified for LCD. Not exactly a ban per say, but ensuring mods are aware so they can scrutinize it to see if it is fair.

I agree. Perhaps if the time is a good one we’ll have to crack down to see what’s up. No one has submitted anything with any form of LDC modification so far so I suppose this’ll come up again if anyone decides to do so

perhaps a different category(ies)

We probably don't need to create a new category until there is a submission. The mod on Kickstarter failed https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/metsasta/modern-mallard , so there is not a huge demand for them. Also, the leaderboard here isn't that long, so it is a low probability that someone with the LCD mod actually posts a time.
